Amidst the recent shakeup at Condé Nast‘s bridal group, we hear that Julie Raimondi, the editor-in-chief of a group of local magazine companions to Brides, has replaced Michelle Preli as the editor-in-chief of Brides.com.

In addition to her new duties, Raimondi will remain editor of Brides Local magazines.

Can you believe it’s already been over two weeks since Condé Nast shuttered four titles, resulting in about 180 layoffs?

In the past few weeks, more layoffs have come to almost every surviving Condé Nast title, and all of them (except maybe The New Yorker) will likely experience cuts before the end of the year — if not the end of the week.

Read on for a round up of layoffs at Condé Nast that we’ve heard of so far. Know of any that we missed? Drop us a note.

Here’s a fun media story to kick off this steamy August week.

In the midst of wedding season, Brides.com Editor-in-Chief Michelle Preli has organized a “field trip” for a group of wedding bloggers to New York City tomorrow. During their day on the town, Preli has arranged for the bloggers to visit some of the wedding industry’s most iconic hot spots and major players in NYC, like designer Reem Acra.

But there is sad news: Acra has been summoned out of town for business. However, instead of missing the event altogether, FishbowlNY has learned exclusively that Acra will converse with the selected bloggers via Skype tomorrow, with the people from Skype providing a high res camera so the connection between the designer and her audience will be perfect.

Know any bloggers who are planning to attend this special meeting? We’d love to hear how it all plays out.
