It’s Wedding Wednesday, and RLJ is falling in love.
ver the last year, a welcome new trend has emerged in the world of women’s interest magazines – they’re going digital. In a world increasingly revolving around all things pixels instead of paper, this new format has proved to be a complete re-imagining of the glossy mags so many women love.
While powerhouses like Glamour and Vogue maintain print issues in addition to their e-formats, the newest wave of these magazines are taking advantage of the lower-cost format perfectly suited for start-ups that thrive on the passion of their creators. While Rue, Lonny and Matchbook have honed in on the format’s shelter and lifestyle categories, our spotlight is on all things bridal today.
Utterly Engaged paved the way for online bridal magazines. And with wedding blogs and resources like Pinterest frequently used by brides, the online format just makes so much sense. So what exactly is Utterly Engaged?
“Utterly Engaged is the first online wedding magazine for everyday brides with style looking for unique inspiration and resources for their wedding. Filled with tips and advice from wedding and honeymoon experts, creative DIY projects, real weddings, affordable date night ideas, hidden gems, fresh new vendors and alternative ways to celebrating your special day, Utterly Engaged is here at every step of your wedding planning.”
UE is everything you’d expect from a typical bridal mag – and then some. Products, planners, favors and fashion are easily researched with the click of a mouse. And the articles, features and photoshoots are divinely inspirational.
