THE MOST EXTENS IVE WEDDING MAGAZINE REPRESENT ING BARBADOS

brideLIFE is a high quality, bi-annual digital magazine that covers all aspects of the Wedding Industry in Barbados. Produced by WBM Inc, this 100+ page publication will feature everything a Bride needs to know about planning her dream wedding in this tropical island paradise.

Mirrored after the elite international bridal magazines, the contemporary layout is complimented by breathtaking local imagery, all designed and produced by the best talent Barbados has to offer. The editorial pieces are engaging, informative and a joy to read.

We invite you to browse through the Table of Contents for our first issue, and then take a look at our exciting Advertising Offers. We’ve structured the publication in such a way that there’s advertising opportunities suitable to every budget! We’ve also provided an overview of our Promotion Plans.

As an added feature, we are inviting local photographers, wedding planners and couples to submit pieces suitable for publishing in our “Inspirations” section. Each piece will be allocated 4-pages, and must

include high resolution, professional photography, with a description of the event. Full credit will be given to all contributors and vendors whose work is featured in these pieces.

Photographers are also invited to submit a variety of images for placement throughout the magazine. Full credit will be given for any images selected for publising.

When you’re ready to sign up to be a part of this exciting new publication, contact us for your booking order form. A 50% deposit is due at the time of signing, with the balance due by August 15th, 2012. We do our best to ensure that all full page ads are placed close to editorial pieces that compliment the vendor. All half page ads, quarter page ads, business card ads and vendor listings are placed towards the back of the magazine.

If you have any questions or queries about the publication, do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcoming you to brideLIFE!
