Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine

Pros: Chock full of wedding ideas, exquisite ideas, beautiful layout, and photography

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

Review: Well, phew, it’s not me getting married this time but I feel a need to poke my nose in anyhow. One of the first things I buy for anyone I know that just got engaged is a copy of Martha Stewart’s Weddings and if I know them really well and are a...

Pros: Great ideas, excellent advice, helpful photos, great do-it-yourself projects

Cons: None.

The Bottom Line: Martha Stewart Weddings is one of the best wedding magazines out there. Excellent for any bride, but especially useful to the hands-on bride that loves the little details.

Review: 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 ...

Pros: well-researched, pretty to look at, lots of helpful and practical suggestions

Cons: none unless you are not getting married

Review: This is always fun to look through even if I cannot come close to accomplishing this airbrushed perfection in my own wedding. This is the ultimate tasteful, beautiful guide to weddings that look deceptively simple. The magazine is much easier to read and...

Pros: Attractive, well-written articles, excellent source for ideas

Cons: Ads and some ideas/suggestions are not geared towards budget savvy brides

Review: 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: 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? The ...

Pros: elegant, simple, and inspires creativity

Cons: brings out anal retentive control freak in some brides (me)

Review: I have decided that I hate bridal magazines. All of them. Except this one.

I love this magazine because it is the opposite of every other bridal magazines on the market. It distinguishes itself in several very important ways.

...

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

Review: 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: 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.

The Bottom Line: If you want to subscribe to a wedding magazine, get MSW because it has helpful tips and articles. If you are serious about saving money, Martha is the best help!

Review: 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: Each issue is unique

Cons: None

Review: 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: innovative and creative ideas, beautiful spreads, gorgeous theming

Cons: lots of ads, expensive to buy "off the rack"

The Bottom Line: A must buy. I would recommend it above Brides or any other. So much that ever since the loss of Blueprint I would call it Martha's best publication

Review: Okay, I know Martha doesn't have a huge reputation with the young crowd. I mean, before I read this magazine, whenever I thought of Martha I envisioned a handmade poncho from cell block D. Not really what I'm looking for while planning my dream wedding. ...
