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.”

Debbie Vanstone, owner, Mad Cakes

“I think this was one of the best shows yet. The footfall on Saturday was colossal and we’ve already been swamped with enquiries from eager customers.”

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.”
