Editorial Reviews Who Reads Modern Bride ?
The Modern Bride reader is a woman, on average 28 years old, who wants her day to be filled with creative, personal touches that speak to her and her groom. She is searching for a dream dress and fabulous reception ideas that break out of the cookie-cutter wedding mold.
What You Can Expect in Each Issue: - Bride to Bride: One of our most popular columns, it poses sticky questions (such as "A close friend declined our wedding invitation with a lame excuse. I'm so upset. Should I say something?") and real brides' opinions.
- Four Dresses Under $900: Another big hit with brides, this column shows four gorgeous dresses at real-life prices
- How-To Guide: What You Really Want to Know: This is a fun twist on the traditional advice column because, as the title says, it focuses on the stuff a bride cares about most but can't get the answers to anywhere else. (Example: How do I fit in a bathroom stall in my wedding dress?)
- Features: Modern Bride explores trends in features such as "The Death of Bridezilla," where it made the bold declaration that a more gracious bride is on the rise, and "Wedding Scams," an in-depth reported piece on the shadier aspects of wedding planning and how the bride can best protect herself. In addition, Modern Bride tackles issues of interest to women in this age bracket, such as our eight-page "Modern Bride's Good-Health Guide" and "Wedding-Night Sex Moves." Lastly, each year Modern Bride names the most influential tastemakers in the industry in its "25 Trendsetters" feature, and announces the 50 World's Best Honeymoons.
Past Issues: Contributors: Modern Bride's features and essays are written by some of the most celebrated names in journalism and literature, including: - Leslie Bennetts (contributing editor at Vanity Fair)

Summary: Newly wed.... Loved planning my dream wedding 2008-02-05
Comment: I absolutely loved every minute of planning my wedding. Brides magazine was my favorite mag, but Modern Bride was also helpful. There are always many ideas to steal for favors, invitations, flowers, gowns, etc. Plus occassionally there were coupons for 25% off Michaels. That comes in handy with purchases such as ribbons, jordan almonds, etc.
If you only want to subscribe to one bridal magazine then choose Brides, but why not enjoy a magazine every month (both magazines are everyother) and enjoy the planning of the most romantic, wonderful day starting the rest of your life.
Happy planning!

Summary: Love this magazine, but.... 2008-02-03
Comment: I really do like this magazine. I think Modern Bride and Brides are two of the best. So I decided to get both of them. Bad idea. I got two issues of Brides right way. I have only recieved one issue of Modern Bride and there has been a new one on the newstand now for 2-3 weeks. I got a subscription to save money, but how much am I really going to save when I miss an issue and have to go purchase it at the store? Great magazine, terrible customer service and shipping. Buyer beware.

Summary: Customer Service Lacking 2006-03-09
Comment: Although I found the magazine itself to be interesting and colorful, with a good series of articles on marriage and relationships, I found that customer service was very dissapointing. I missed an issue back in October, and have contacted customer service 3 times to have them resend the issue I missed. It is now March, and I still haven't received my replacement. Just a heads up!
