Brides (magazine)

Brides is an American website published by IAC, who purchased the title in 1959. As with many similar bridal magazines, it is designed to be an in-depth resource for brides-to-be, with many photographs and articles on wedding dresses, cakes, ceremonies, receptions, and honeymoons. It was the sister publication of Modern Bride and Elegant Bride magazines, until the demise of those titles in October 2009.[3] Then, the frequency of Brides changed to monthly.[4] The magazine was published monthly until 2013 when the frequency was switched to bimonthly.[4]
