WEDDING MAGAZINE
REVIEWS
Sometimes you just want to sit down with a cup of coffee and a
magazine for a good read rather than sitting in front off a computer screen, so I decided
that during August and September I will take time out to review some UK wedding magazines
to give you an idea of the style and contents. This month I have chosen the
following three magazines to review, Bliss for Brides, Wedding
and Home and Wedding Day.

Review:-
I found this magazine very informative, it also features
pictures and stories from real life weddings, which I thought was a great idea as it is
always nice to have a nose at others peoples styles and tastes.
It has an excellent regional director services/suppliers section along with plenty of
fashion and beauty products, advertised with lots of helpful tips. It also included a
wedding planner which like most wedding planners was fairly heavy going to read in one
sitting.
Other features included unusual wedding stationery including this years colour scheme, a
good article on wedding flowers with a sample price list, and it also included a section
for the groom including products and clothing. |

Review:- The
magazine came with this cool little handbook - 101 answers to the most asked questions (I
love give-aways with magazines), it also included a handy little confetti.co.uk wedding
and party shop book.
It was packed full with stunning wedding dresses and excellent choice of magazine for
those still looking for wedding outfits. As with the first magazine it also had a
section of real life weddings and a fairly large wedding directory in the back.
There is an excellent wedding planner which includes a checklist and an average
calculation of costs, this I think is extremely helpful as many people have no idea where
to start when it comes to costing their wedding. |

This magazine contained an excellent beauty feature on make
up choosing the right shade of makeup for your colouring. It also had a good section
on honeymoons and as with the other magazines it had a large directory in the back.
It included a variety of outfits - check out the cute bridesmaid dresses. Also
featured was a large wedding check list - I always think check lists are so helpful as
there are so many different things to remember. |
