Cons: Some of the cheesy advertisers are still willing to fork over the cost of being in Martha's Magazine

Pros: Great ideas, excellent advice, helpful photos, great do-it-yourself projects
Cons: None.

Being engaged has been an exciting time, full of many new experiences. Planning the biggest party I will likely ever throw has also resulted in experiencing the wonderful world of bridal magazines. In my collection of bridal magazines, Martha Stewart ...

Cons: none unless you are not getting married

Pros: Attractive, well-written articles, excellent source for ideas
Cons: Ads and some ideas/suggestions are not geared towards budget savvy brides

The wedding market is saturated with everything from websites to vendors to coordinators to self-help wedding books to magazines. Because of that, it's hard for any one publication that stands out, but the "Martha Stewart Weddings" magazine is...

Pros: Less ads than other wedding magazines; elegant and classy; pretty pictures
Cons: None, aside from the fact that it's Martha Stewart

Any soon-to-be or recent bride can sympathize with the mess that is my living room. My book shelf is overflowing with bridal magazines, our coffee table strewn with randomly torn out pictures of wedding cakes, flowers and Mom's dresses.
...

Pros: Lots of wedding ideas that hardly overlap or get old, reasonable price
Cons: None

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? The ...

Pros: The sheer beauty of it all is impressive.
Cons: Too many ads, too many hopes and dreams out of reach for normal human beings (i.e., unless you're Bill Gates or Steven Spielberg, good luck getting that Vera Wang).

Here we go again.

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

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 represents the...

Pros: helpful tips and how-to's, fewer ads than most bridal magazines
Cons: a little bit pricey and only comes out every few months

I had been really dissatisfied with bridal magazines until I found Martha Stewart Weddings. They all seemed to just be full of the same thing: ads for $10,000 wedding gowns and the same 40 bridesmaid dresses. Then, a friend suggested this magazine and...

Pros: Each issue is unique
Cons: None

Went to the bookstore this weekend and bought a copy of every single bridal magazine they had, no lie! Of all of them, Martha Stewart's Wedding is the best. Let me tell you why......
Modern Bride and Brides are the same magazines with different...

Pros: Lots of eye candy, creative ideas.
Cons: None.

to plan an elegant and memorable occasion. Every issue contains pages of beautiful and "good things"; it's no wonder brides show up at the florist's and baker's with pages torn from the latest issue in tow. I find nearly every page of this...

Pros: most companies are honest
Cons: the hidden fine print

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

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: Helpful articles, easy DIY projects (you don't have to be Martha!), detailed instructions and pictures
Cons: Has many advertisements, some projects can be hard, single issue purchase can be expensive.

Having planned my wedding for the last 10 or so months, I have given at least a cursory look to almost every wedding magazine I could find on the supermarket shelves. For the most part, each magazine was filled with advertisements for expensive wedding ...

Pros: Great ideas, cost savers included, basic etiquette advice
Cons: Only comes out 4 times a year, expensive cover price

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...
