Happy New Year! As we say
goodbye to 2018 and welcome
2019 we celebrate the past year
and salute the new year. Our
January Issue celebrates Pensacola
area weddings.
VIP Pensacola
has become a vital resource for
brides seeking the current wedding
trends that make our area the
destination-wedding mecca it
has become. With the arrival of
2019, we eagerly look forward to
signature winter events along the
Emerald Coast. Cultural activities,
fun festivals, lecture series, athletic
events, and weddings. There’s
always something happening on
our sugar-white shores. Here’s
what’s up on the Emerald Coast…
January kicks off with The Big
Gala – Lunar New Year benefi ting
Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Northwest Florida, the Pensacola Beach
Run Half Marathon & 10K/5K, and Sacred Heart Foundations’
Cordova Mall Ball, just to name a few.
Couples are creating memories every day with weddings on the
Emerald Coast. Our January issue is one of the most anticipated issues
of the year with a concentration on all things wedding related in the
area. Many of our advertisers are wedding based businesses. Be sure to
check out our wedding editorial from our advertisers.
Our
Swizzle feature previews Ice Champagne which will change
champagne sipping as you know it and
I Am Pensacola completes our
Wedding issue with a spotlight on Pensacola fl orist Judy Fitzpatrick.
Take time to enjoy all the New Year activities, get out and enjoy all
the winter events our area has to offer. Enjoy your January issue of
VIP Pensacola…and we look forward to seeing you again next month.
Cheers!
