Lush visual display, but if you're average...

This is a nice magazine to get to dream about dresses, etc. But most of what you will see is too $$. There are some good checklists for preparing and terrific ads, etc. to find what you need. Also, you can gather some great ideas.

Wonderful to look at, but geared towards the affluent

This magazine is an aesthetic feast for the eyes. I really enjoyed looking at the wedding dresses, bridesmaids dresses, etc.. However, the suggestions contained within are only for those that can afford it. The featured weddings are weddings that are thrown by families with more money than the average American family. I would love to see a wedding magazine geared towards the middle class with suggestions for budgeting and saving money.

Buy a few issues

Sure there are a lot of ads but that doesnt detract from the fact that whats important is here: pictures of gowns, accessories, hairstyles, etc. And the articles are useful too but hardly anything new that most women dont already know. All in all a useful pickup as the big day draws near.
