NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Lights, camera, action! The Knot Magazine, a leading wedding publication, today reveals its Fall 2023 Planning issue, shining the spotlight on three A-List glam talents gracing the cover: Lizzo’s makeup artist Alexx Mayo, celebrity stylist Maeve Reilly and hairstylist to the cast of HBO’s Euphoria, Kim Kimble. The issue pays homage to the talent behind the talent, showcasing the value these professionals bring in creating unique, timeless looks—from the red carpet to the wedding aisle. The three makers, who have created wedding day looks for their clients, share candid advice on how couples can look and feel their best on their big day. The Fall Planning issue also features a new class of wedding vendors—wedding content creators and bach-party planners—making a splash in the industry.

“Wedding planning is an exhilarating whirlwind, filled with stress and countless decisions. But within it all lies a secret to an unforgettable celebration: the power of wedding professionals and the talent that plays a pivotal role behind the scenes. They are the unrivaled champions of their craft, creating pure magic amid the mayhem,” said Lauren Kay, Executive Editor of The Knot. “That’s why we’re thrilled to feature three glam icons—Alexx Mayo, Maeve Reilly and Kim Kimble—on the cover of The Knot Fall 2023 Planning issue.

The cover stars showcase the breadth and depth of their talents in the issue’s fashion feature, “Hard Rock,” and discuss the importance of working with wedding professionals. Kim Kimble shares, “This is your day. You want to put the trust in someone else who knows what they’re doing. Hiring a person who knows what they’re doing and has done this before, you feel confident in them. They’ve got your back. I just think that’s how your wedding day should be.”
