A Practical Wedding
A Practical Wedding is an American media company based in Oakland, California that provides tools, essays, and advice to couples planning weddings. The site has a focus on inclusion and feminism, and was founded by Meg Keene in 2008.
History
A Practical Wedding was founded in 2008 by writer and entrepreneur Meg Keene, who found that as she was planning her wedding, there were very few voices offering good advice for a wedding that was neither extravagant nor entirely minimal. She began a blog to document her experiences and offer advice to other couples, naming it A Practical Wedding.
In 2018, A Practical Wedding launched The Compact, a summer camp for women with an emphasis on feminism.
A Practical Wedding is based in Oakland, California. As of 2019, A Practical Wedding reaches an average audience of 10 million visitors per year, and 6 million users a month via its website and social media channels.
Content
In addition to featuring real weddings submitted by readers, A Practical Wedding also offers planning advice, tools including spreadsheets and lists, and essays on marriage, feminism, wedding planning, and family. Advice columnist Liz Moorhead has been writing an advice column addressing reader-submitted questions since 2012[1].
Books
Founder and Editor-in-Chief Meg Keene has written two books on wedding planning, A Practical Wedding: Creative Ideas for Planning a Beautiful, Affordable, and Meaningful Celebration[2] in 2011, and A Practical Wedding Planner: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating the Wedding You Want with the Budget You've Got (without Losing Your Mind in the Process)[3] in 2016. In 2017, she published an article on Buzzfeed, “Here's What My Parents' 1974 Wedding Would Cost In 2017 Dollars,”[4] which went on to garner more than a million views.

A Practical Wedding was called “The bible of all wedding reason” by The Huffington Post[5], and has been mentioned in media including The New York Times[6], The Washington Post[7], The Atlantic[8], US News[9], The Chicago Tribune[10], The Baltimore Sun[11], and NPR[12].
