Do you identify more with the frugal bride than the society bride? Bridal Guide focuses more on the "typical bride," writes Jessica Hilberman. "Pitches should center on pieces about planning the wedding and the wedding day. Stories about the first year of marriage, pregnancy, anniversaries—anything that happens after the honeymoon—are not in Bridal Guide's purview." If you're a first time freelancer to the magazine, send relevant clips with your first query. Don't pitch the front of the book and fashion sections: those are done in-house.
