Meghan Ely Releases New Book: 20 Wedding PR Lessons for 2026

A New Resource for Wedding Professionals Thinking About Visibility Differently

If you’ve spent any time with me—whether through OFD Collective, speaking engagements, or client work—you’ve likely heard me talk about wedding PR in a very specific way.

Not as a checklist.
Not as a vanity metric.
And definitely not as something to chase just because everyone else is.

Instead, I’ve always approached wedding publicity as a long-term strategy—one that supports your reputation, relationships, and overall business growth when done with intention. Over time, I realized something: I was repeating the same core ideas again and again. So I decided to pull them together in an easy-to-digest way for the busy wedding season.

Introducing: 20 Wedding PR Lessons for 2026

I’m excited to share that my new book, 20 Wedding PR Lessons for 2026 by Meghan Ely, is now live on Amazon.

This collection brings together the lessons, reminders, and strategic frameworks I find myself returning to most often—especially when working with wedding professionals who want to build visibility that actually moves the needle.

Rather than reading cover-to-cover, each lesson is designed to stand on its own, offering something you can revisit as your business (and the industry) evolves.

What This Wedding PR Book Focuses On

At its core, this book is about reframing how we think about visibility in the wedding industry.

Inside, I cover:

  • Building visibility with purpose
  • Understanding how today’s media landscape actually works
  • Navigating “pay-to-play” conversations with clarity
  • Strengthening your reputation before you need to protect it
  • Leveraging press, podcasts, and features in a meaningful way
  • Creating a publicity strategy that’s sustainable over time

Why I Wrote This

Wedding PR has changed dramatically over the years—and not always in ways that are easy to navigate. Between shifting media landscapes, increased competition, and evolving expectations, it’s easy for publicity to feel inconsistent or overwhelming. This book is meant to simplify that.

It’s a grounded, practical resource for wedding professionals who want to approach PR more strategically—without feeling like they have to chase every opportunity that comes their way.

A Final Thought

If there’s one thing I hope readers take away, it’s this:

Publicity works best when it’s integrated—not isolated.

The most effective visibility strategies aren’t built on a single feature or moment. They’re built over time through consistency, clarity, and trust. And when that happens, visibility starts to feel a lot less like chasing—and a lot more like alignment.
