Marriages Decline but Bride Sales Up
(PRWEB) July 23, 2007 -- Saying ``I do' and experiencing a dream wedding (http://www.bride.com.au) may be on the decline for Australians but the modern bride loves to research the latest for her big day with sales of Bride's three titles, Melbourne Bride, Sydney Bride and Australian Bride up more than 30 per cent in the past year.
The latest census figures released last month show the number of married Australians has declined in the past five years from 51.4 per cent to 49.6 per cent. Non-married couples living together and those never married have been a driving force behind the trend with 33.2 per cent never married, a 1.6 per cent rise in the past five years.
Bride's three titles, Melbourne Bride, Sydney Bride and Australian Bride have continued to provide information brides need, such as stylish fashion and product shoots, helpful feature articles, real-life wedding stories and spreads full of ideas for everything from great wedding photos (http://www.bride.com.au/Content.asp?Document_ID=680&Category_ID=37) to delicate bomboniere.
As Australia's only national bridal title with state-specific content, Bride magazine appeals to the discerning bride, aged between her mid 20s to late 30s, who has a high disposable income and wants a wedding that reflects her and her partner's personalities.
The magazine is supported by its website, bride.com.au - a bank of wedding information on all things bridal. The popular site allows brides to scroll through pictures of wedding dresses, find local wedding suppliers, and read helpful articles on all aspects of wedding planning (http://www.bride.com.au/Content.asp?Document_ID=678) from choosing bridesmaids to organising wedding music.
