Brides is an American bimonthly
magazine published by
Condé Nast, who purchased the title in 1959. As with many similar bridal magazines, it is designed to be an in-depth resource for
brides-to-be, with many photographs and articles on
wedding dresses,
cakes,
ceremonies,
receptions and
honeymoons. It was the sister publication of
Modern Bride and
Elegant Bride magazines, until the demise of those titles in October 2009.
