FAIRLADY Bride promises to be the go-to guide for anyone planning their special day.

Editor of FAIRLADY Bride, Liesl Robertson, says: “We’re very proud of our new issue and believe it is one of the best we’ve ever produced. We have so many fresh ideas for table settings, cakes, invites, venues, colour palettes and even DIY favours. We also hand-picked five inspiring real weddings and asked the newlyweds to share their secrets.”

Robertson says FAIRLADY Bride is specifically geared to the South African market as all the featured items are locally sourced and readily available, and the industry experts consulted are familiar with the local market.

Prizes worth more than R120 000 can also be won as featured in the magazine.

Also introduced with FAIRLADY Bride is new online brand Just Say Yes. Just Say Yes is an online, user-generated bridal network for South African brides-to-be. Here they can sieve through beautiful wedding planning inspiration galleries, an extensive local wedding supplier list, and a modern archive of wedding etiquette, articles and advice.

Just Say Yes, in partnership with FAIRLADY Bride, is also running a Couple of the Year competition, with prizes to the value of R74 500 up for grabs. Couples who got married between 1 January 2014 and 31 March 2015 can sign up by uploading 15 to 20 of their best wedding photos, listing their wedding suppliers and sharing their love story on Just Say Yes. A three-night stay at Azura Quilalea, an American Swiss Gift Card of R10 000, Celline luggage, a Bvlgari fragrance hamper and Rotary Bridgewater set are just some of the prizes that will be awarded to the winning couple.

“We also have some advice on helping brides hang on to their honeymoon high once it’s all over. So, if you’re planning your dream wedding, we’ve got everything covered with the new issue of FAIRLADY Bride,” concludes Robertson.
