Renaissance Magazine Wedding Edition

Renaissance Magazine is put out four times a year. It is a very popular magazine for those who love Renaissance times and to attend Renaissance Festivals. Each edition has a theme and all the articles follow that. It teaches things that even lovers of the time period may not know, while entertaining at the same time. The only theme that has been revisited is Renaissance Weddings.

Renaissance Weddings have become very popular in the last ten years or so. Festivals all over the country are offering wedding packages that range from inexpensive to more than a normal wedding can cost depending on the festival and what each place offers. Renaissance Magazine thought it would be helpful for those planning a Renaissance wedding to have a magazine devoted to them. And with four different wedding magazines out over the last seven years, the magazine has made a difference for brides who decided to have a different kind of wedding.

Each magazine has had new ideas for wedding parties and included a list of festivals that offers the weddings. Some festivals have started offering them as they have become more popular so the list keeps changing. Some festivals have also fallen off the list as they disappeared or changed their minds about having weddings at their Renaissance festival sites. And others have changed their packages to be more streamlined or less confusing for brides to be.

One feature that has not changed in all four issues is a section that shows bridal dresses. Some of these have been as simple as patterns sewn so a bride could see what they looked like and others were clothing shops that had made special dresses. Some dresses were also more period than others for brides who wanted to more historically accurate with Renaissance times. In the Renaissance Magazine there are also areas for grooms and wedding attendants. Not the full color pictures of the bridal dresses, but places where everyone in the wedding can be dressed if the bride does not know where to start.

The best part of the wedding issues is that all the ads are geared toward brides and their special day. From where to buy wedding rings to gifts for the wedding party, anyone that advertises in the magazine and can find a way to make it fit for weddings, are available to purchase from. This is in fact how I found my wedding rings. Only seeing them online was hard but the end result was beautiful and I would recommend the place I got my rings from to anyone getting married at a Renaissance Festival.
