From the gowns that tell a story with every stitch to the details that make a celebration unforgettable, BELLA’s 2025 Wedding Issue is a love letter to romance in all its forms. But it’s also a reminder that beyond the flowers, the vows, and the photographs, what truly matters is the partnership that begins when the party ends — the daily choice to love, to listen, to grow, and to build a life together.

When I first took on the role of Editor-in-Chief at BELLA, I knew there would be milestones that would shape not just the magazine, but me personally. Launching our first-ever Broadway Issue is one of those moments.

I almost didn’t step in front of the camera for this issue. Not because I didn’t believe in the message, but because, like so many women, I’ve spent years behind the scenes — building, supporting, creating.

But this time is different. This issue is different.

And who better to grace our summer cover than the ultimate icon—Margaret Josephs. Fearless, fabulous, and never one to hold back, Margaret embodies the bold spirit of BELLA insider and gives us the kind of unfiltered realness we live for.

Every June, BELLA Magazine proudly amplifies voices that remind us of the power in authenticity, love, and living out loud.

This year, we’re honored to feature the incomparable Tiffany Haddish on our cover. Tiffany represents what it means to be unapologetically real in an industry that often expects anything but.
