Founded in 2003 and published in print 13 times a year, Wedding Ideas specialises in publishing inspirational and practical products, in print and online, offering real brides ideas and inspiration, whatever their budget, says The Chelsea Magazine Company.
Besides the print edition, there is also an accompanying website and social media accounts. Also included in the agreement is The British Wedding Awards – the consumer wedding awards, which are held every year to recognise wedding companies offering exceptional services and products.
Following the acquisition, The Chelsea Magazine Company Managing Director Paul Dobson said, “We are delighted to add Wedding Ideas to our collection of titles. The long-standing popularity of the print magazine and the strong year-on-year growth shown by the website makes this a very exciting acquisition for us and we look forward to further strengthening both aspects.”
Wedding Ideas founder Rachel Southwood will stay with the magazine as Editor in Chief and added, “We are all so excited about the future and working with our new colleagues at The Chelsea Magazine Company to bring Wedding Ideas to more brides-to-be than ever by delivering high quality and valuable content to them across all media platforms. This is great news for me, great news for my wonderful team and even better news for Wedding Ideas.”
Wedding Ideas becomes the sixteenth specialist title published by The Chelsea Magazine Company and joins the Lifestyle & Parenting portfolio of brands alongside Baby London, Baby Hampshire, Baby Surrey, Little London and Independent School Parent.
