"NUMBER ONE SINCE 1984"

Planning the perfect wedding has never been easier! Every issue of Queensland Brides features tips and stories to help you plan the wedding of your dreams, plus the latest bridal gown designs, the best wedding photographers, the perfect venues for a reception celebration and idyllic honeymoon destinations.

When planning their marketing strategy, business owners need to feel confident that their chosen medium is going to work for them. Queensland Brides has been this state's number one wedding guide since the first issue in April 1984, and we're proud to say that after 22 years, Queensland Brides is still the magazine of choice for Queensland's brides-to-be. Over eighty five percent of advertisers book at least two issues per year, and many choose to invest in all four. In fact, over fifty percent of advertisers have trusted Queensland Brides for more than ten years – and some have been with us since year one! There's only one reason businesses stay with Queensland Brides, and that's because it works.

Advertiser Testimonials

"It is with the sincerest pleasure that I write this testimonial for Queensland Brides. Our journey with Queensland Brides began some almost 20 years ago and we have never looked back. Being associated with this prominent bridal magazine has assisted in the growth of our label as our prospective brides will more often than not, walk in with an edition of Queensland Brides tucked under their arm. We owe a lot of our success and recognition of the Fiorenza label to the advertising placed with them. We are extremely grateful for their expert advice and the prominent position we hold of inside front cover and are proud to be associated with Rhonda Bannister and her team."

"Queensland Brides has always been our first choice when it comes to promoting ourselves to couples planning their wedding. We have been using this magazine for around twenty years and have been delighted with the response we receive as we often have girls calling to organise a meeting with the latest copy open in front of them.  With this sort of response and with the wonderful support the staff of Queensland brides give us, they will continue to be our number one choice."

Their commitment to quality and customer service is of the same high standard as ours, and it's always a delight to deal with every member of the staff from the receptionist to the Managing Director.
