Weddzilla.com Announces New Blog Editor-in-Chief

Jan. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- The new year brings a new direction for the Top 100 ranked Weddzilla.com blog (http://blog.weddzilla.com/), starting with the exciting and much-anticipated announcement of award-winning syndicated blogger and wedding enthusiast, Heather Walrath, as the Weddzilla Blog’s new Editor-in-Chief. The Weddzilla blog features content from real bride bloggers and wedding professionals across the nation on topics including wedding planning, wedding venues, upcoming local wedding events, and more.

Passionate about weddings and writing, Heather is a recent newlywed who planned a long-distance wedding in California while juggling a busy life and Capitol Hill career in Washington, DC. She quickly gained recognition within the online wedding community by sharing daily inspiration and advice via her blog, Bicoastal Bride (http://bicoastalbrideblog.blogspot.com), and as a featured blogger for such well-known sites including Weddzilla, Get Married, WedAlert, and The DC Ladies.

Heather has been featured in Get Married magazine and serves as a founding board member for the charity Wish Upon a Wedding DC. As a seasoned writer and editor, Heather brings a solid journalism background and established relationships within the wedding industry to Weddzilla.

“As a recent bride, I know first-hand how stressful and confusing the wedding planning process can be if you don’t have the right support system in place,” says Heather. “Weddzilla is creating a culture shift within the wedding industry by giving brides the ability to leverage user-generated content and peer feedback to make planning their wedding a more social, interactive experience."

Heather’s vision for the future includes rolling out a fresh, revamped blog design, growing both the bride and vendor communities, introducing new features, increasing engagement, and continuing to develop the blog into a bride’s go-to spot for the latest wedding news, advice, and inspiration.
