Billed as Ireland's Most Stylish Brides Magazine.
At €4.90 its probably Ireland's Most Affordable Brides Magazine... the Most Stylish... I'm not so sure, lets see.
Social & Personal Bridess Winter 2013/2014's cover is dark and uninteresting... {yes I realise I am still judging a magazine by its a cover!} ... Points lost for style here.
If its ok to dislike a magazine based on their font choices, I do. Not a reasonable reason I realise, but hey, I'm not being paid for this, so who needs to be reasonable ;) Points lost for style here too.
Article Content is mostly focused on beauty... important to brides and grooms I realise... but its just one small part of Bridess... even if you are just focused on style... As you've probably guessed points lost here too...
Style Content, there is plenty. Is it stylish... kind of... again, the overlapping doesn't work and distracts from the Stylish nature of some of the pieces they are trying to feature. The old adage, 'less is more', just keeps springing to mind with this mag. Points are lost yet again.
This particular issue is billed as The Reception Issue... other than pages and pages of venues {read ads for venues} there is very little in the way of actual content/ ideas/advice/ hows to on Brides receptions at all. In fact there are none. The only real tanigle advice / content that is not beauty related {in practically the entire magazine} is The Ultimate Brides Planner {list} 3 pages long and a 1 page Brides Checklist.
It's possibly only redeeming grace are its seasonal inspiration boards. That said I am sure you and me both would love to see way more of them, being there are only four!
The Grooms section is like all the others, not sufficient AND there are no real Bridess... boo hoo!
So is Social & Personal Bridess Ireland's Most Stylish Brides Magazine? No... not in the slightest in my opinion... in fact, its only a few pages and layouts better than Irish Brides Diary and you may all remember who I felt about that magazine!
Sorry Social & Personal Bridess!
