REAL BRIDES IS THE “REAL” DEAL Reality is the name of the game and the idea for the REAL BRIDES magazine was basically born out of the success of reality shows on TV, which have a massive following worldwide. When it comes to planning their weddings, brides-to-be want to see what “REAL” brides wore; their colour schemes; how they went about their planning and how they chose their venues and service providers etc. Real Brides magazine conducted surveys with brides-to-be and they rate this type of information to be of major importance. Real Brides is in essence a reality magazine in that it features “real” people that brides-to-be can readily identify with.
