welcome to bride
Bride is the first-choice regional media platform
supporting brides and wedding planners
throughout the country. Quite literally a bride’s
best friend, Bride offers inspiration, guidance and
tools designed to support her at every stage of the
journey to making her perfect day a reality.
Bride is more than a brand; we’re an open channel
connecting brides directly with local wedding
industry suppliers – making it easier for businesses
to showcase their offering in a warm, reassuring
and bespoke manner.
Through a wide portfolio the Bride brand connects
at all touchpoints with engaged couples looking to
buy their wedding and, with 2017 figures showing
the average cost is now more than £27,000*, that’s
a lot of business. With that sort of investment, both
emotionally and financially, couples want to be
able to trust their suppliers; to connect with them.
They want to visit their dress shop whenever they
need to, taste their menu in advance, get to know
their venue and wedding co-ordinator, feel at ease
with their photographer…
And at Bride, with our extensive package of high-
quality magazines, spectacular two-day wedding
shows, one-day events and wide-ranging digital
and social media products; we promote our clients
directly to those couples actively looking to spend.
Through print, in person at our events and online
Bride is all about local – it’s our core principle.
I hope you enjoy browsing through the wide range
of opportunities we have to offer you. Nothing
makes us happier than seeing our partners happy –
it is just like a marriage and we want it to be a long
and successful one.

“Once again, Bride: The Wedding Show was so well organised. It always makes life so much easier as an exhibitor. We experienced lots of crowds around our stand and lots of positive feedback. Social media was great too, all of our tweets being retweeted by the organisers. Always a pleasure working with you.”

“Oh my goodness me; we were blown away by the volume of couples visiting the show. Couples were definitely keen to chat and book. Overwhelmed by the passion, love and excitement that couples felt for our tipi at the show. A really fun, positive and worthwhile experience. We couldn’t ask for more.”
Karen Thorp-Cleaver, director, Tipi Unique
“Wow, what a great show. We just need a week to relax now as we were so busy. I have to say that the catwalk was amazing; there was such a massive response to our gowns and so many people asking after different dresses. Thank you so much.”
