Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine

Pros: wonderful ideas, easily readable, not a lot of ads

Cons: expensive, only published 4 times yearly

Review: I"m getting married in September and since getting engaged in November, I have probably purchased 10 bridal magazines. I was so excited to be getting married and I want to have just the "perfect" day (what bride doesn't?) and I thought these...

Pros: Great ideas, cost savers included, basic etiquette advice

Cons: Only comes out 4 times a year, expensive cover price

The Bottom Line: If you're looking for creative and innovative ideas for your wedding there is no better source than this magazine.

Review: Martha Stewart Weddings is by far one of the useful(if not the only)wedding magazines out there.

As most brides to be already know, publications for weddings is a business in itself. And a unscruplous one at that! Martha Stewarts Weddings...

Pros: informative, good advice, etiquette info, checklists

Cons: still too many advertisements, but better than most

The Bottom Line: It's worth the $6 - lots of useful info that you would have to hunt around for otherwise.

Review: When I first started picking up bridal magazines, I couldn't believe I was forking over $5 or $6 for mostly advertisements of some very ugly wedding dresses. I find Martha Stewart to be quite nauseating, but I decided to give it a try and gave yet...

Pros: most companies are honest

Cons: the hidden fine print

Review: I work for a private caterer that does many large parties and weddings. Being in the business I have to read many Bridal magazines and books to keep up on changes that are going on.One thing that I've found is that many catering halls and there...

Pros: More stories!

Cons: Less adds

Review: I have gotten many of the bridal books and mags since being engaged and I will tell you one thing, I dont buy them all anymore. I stick with Martha. Though she is over budget for me I can take her ideas and adapt them to my own budget. Her magazine...

Pros: Can't go wrong with creative ideas from the queen of entertaining.

Cons: Recent issues are featuring more and more ads and fewer editorials.

The Bottom Line: Suggest buying Martha Stewart Wedding Book or Instyle Weddings over the Martha Stewart magazine. Way too many ads in the MS magazine. Too cluttered and not enough useful information.

Review: I remember back when Martha Stewart first launched her wedding magazines and they were absolutely amazing. Lots of great articles and creative ideas... beautiful pictures to help you with your wedding planning.

However, I noticed that the...

Pros: Lots of wedding ideas that hardly overlap or get old, reasonable price

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: If you like Martha Stewart and if there's a wedding in your future, I strongly urge you to pick up a magazine!

Review: When I got engaged last summer, I remember my mom telling me, "Oh, I'll start taking notes from Martha. She's always got great ideas...you could probably use them for your wedding!"

Yeah, right, sure, mom, I thought. Martha Stewart?...

Pros: Many, many great ideas for the perfect wedding

Cons: Have to be the perfect person (aka Martha Stewart) to accomplish the great ideas

The Bottom Line: Some of her ideas are a little to much for us average people, but at least she gives alternatives to make your wedding a little different.

Review: I'm getting married next June, and since I am one of the first girls getting married out of my group of friends, I am at a loss as to what I am doing. So, I turn to every wedding magazine I can get my hands on. So far my favorite has been Martha...

Pros: caters to the idea that weddings don't have to be tacky

Cons: caters to the idea that you have to spend $50,000+ for your wedding to avoid tackiness

Review: Martha Stewart Weddings is the creme brulee to Modern Bride and Bride's jello, to borrow an analogy from another wedding-related favorite, My Best Friend's Wedding. But while one represents fine dining and other...
