I have to admit, I’m a bit of a wedding magazine addict. OK, a full on junkie. I read all of them religiously, devouring the real weddings, jotting down ideas and cutting out pictures for my wedding scrapbook.
Today is a bittersweet day. Like any other wedding magazine publication date, I’m excitedly anticipating the latest copy of Cosmo Bride. But I’m also sad because I don’t want to read it. Once I read it, that’s it! No more Cosmo Bride for this Shabby Chic Bride. Sad face.
So I just want to pay a little humble tribute to my dear friend, frequent train companion and provider of some of my favourite ideas (for which I will give full credit on my wedding day – of course!) You taught me how to take vintage decor to a whole new level. And the wonders of peach – now my must-have colour. You showed me the true meaning of homespun chic. You were the first wedding magazine I anxiously plucked off the shelf, still half feeling like a fraud as a newly engaged gal! Thanks for everything. I’ll look forward to reading the last issue – you may be gone, but in the scrapbooks, weddings, hearts and minds of thousands of brides, you’ll live on!
Shabby Chic Bride 
I’m with you! Cosmo Bride was my fave wedding
mag while planning my own wedding back in 2009 and also as a wedding photographer an awesome source of tearsheets & inspiration. Will definitely be missed! X
I love cosmo bride, I have to say that it was this mag that gave me the ideas to do my wedding in a pink and purple theme, much to the horror of my husband to be, but the wedding ran real smooth and we had a fantastic day, not only that the photo’s looked amazing too.
A very sad farewell.
What a lovely tribute! It is sad to say goodbye to such a fantastic bridal mag x
