UK Wedding Magazines: The Review: You & Your Wedding

By Claire

You & Your Wedding came out top in my comparison of UK wedding magazines. With top quality features, shoots and advice for brides (and a nod to grooms!) this would be the wedding magazine I’d buy above all the others.

Articles in You & Your Wedding magazine are beautifully written, sensitive and interesting. For example, ‘Clamour for Glamour’ talked about a bride’s decision not to wear make up on her wedding day. It was a really positive piece of writing and won me over for putting across an alternative opinion.

Through the magazine advice features with input from Penny Cullen (Tigerlily) and Mark Niemierko kept the inspiring ideas coming – and they were different ideas which appealed to me: creative and imaginative.

Other articles discussed etiquette – not the strict and formal rules but more useful questions about wording invitations and children at weddings.

The article for grooms was a nice story… although I’m not convinced it was actually written for the guys to read – more an entertaining piece for brides!

You & Your Wedding is a magazine with everything: inspiration and advice, articles and real weddings. It’s well written, nicely designed and a quality publication. The best UK wedding magazine!
