Sorry to hear that Modern Bride (along with other Conde Nast publications like Elegant Bride and Gourmet), has been closed and will no longer be published.
Too bad - we contributed fairly regularly to Modern Bride (both photos and occasional columns/articles) and enjoyed working with their editors. Declining ad revenue - along with pretty stiff competition from The Knot - caused Conde Nast to find cost-cutting opportunities.
From what we understand, Brides.com will stay in operation, and Brides magazine will go to a monthly publishing schedule to pick up some of the slack.
