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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Helpful Magazine, Horrendous punctuality, February 13, 2005

By	Len Lorentz - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I subscribed to Modern Bride as a gift to my fiance. Aside from not receiving our first issue until 3 months after the subscription, I only received about 3 issues total. Months went by without anything being delivered. While customer service at Modern Bride was very accomodating and helpful, nothing happens immediately. When planning a wedding, each and every month is precious. Especially during the initial stages of wedding planning. To have finally gotten this subscription problem under control was exhausting. Plus, by this time most of the wedding details were finalized, the magazines I received became useless. If you're under 12 months to your wedding date, you should strongly consider if now is a good time to begin a subscription with Modern Bride.

3.0 out of 5 stars Middle of the road, October 26, 2001

By	Daiva Dambrauskas (Seattle, WA United States) - See all my reviews

This magazine seems to try to capture the whole bridal audience, but fails. It seems to want to catch the attention of the affluent bride as well as the budget bride. It fails at both. It's decent to look at if you want pictures of gowns and bridemaid's dresses. Overall the result is ho-hum. Most of the advertisers seem to have low quality, low inspiration products.

2.0 out of 5 stars Customer Service Lacking, March 9, 2006

By	Angela M. Servi - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
