Scotland’s leading quarterly bridal magazine

Media pack2015

The Best Scottish Weddings magazine is the ultimate resource for readers planning a wedding in Scotland. Out four times a year, it helps couples find everything they need to create an unforgettable big day.

The magazine’s editorial pages are beautifully designed and are laid out to capture the attention of brides with informative and inspirational content, including advice from real-life brides and step-by-step guides covering all the key planning stages: from the search for the right venue, dream dress and perfect photographer, through to all the finishing touches that make a wedding ‘wow’.

Whether they’re big spenders or savers, every couple is willing to invest money in their once-in-lifetime day. Whether your company is an international brand or a Scottish company, The Best Scottish Weddings magazine is the perfect platform to engage with this captive, ready-to-purchase audience. It’s an indispensable, glossy publication that brides hold on to throughout the planning process and refer back to time and again in their hunt for their key suppliers – it really is a bride’s little black book!

The next issue is published in April 2015, with quarterly issues thereafter in July, October and January.

DISTRIBUTION20,000 copies per issue are distributed throughout Scotland by COMAG (jointly owned by Conde Nast & The National Magazine Company) through WH Smith and other leading retail outlets. The magazine will be present at a number of wedding events throughout Scotland, where we actively distribute up to an additional 10,000 copies per issue straight into the hands of brides-to-be. The magazine is also available through a network of specialist retailers. This ensures that the magazine is effectively marketed at the correct levels to our target audience.
