The First
Size-Inclusive Bridal Magazine

As the first-ever size-inclusive bridal publication, we celebrate and showcase all body types in our content. We believe that every bride, regardless of their size, deserves to see themselves reflected in the wedding industry. From our covers to our features, we highlight the beauty and diversity of all brides, proving that curvy figures are just as stunning and worthy of recognition as straight-size models. Join us in revolutionizing the industry and submitting your wedding or styled shoot to be a part of our movement!

Creating Iconic Bride
Iconic Bride is the first national size-inclusive bridal magazine and soon to be global! Iconic Bride was created out of necessity of size inclusion in the Bridal market. It’s so important that people of all sizes can see themselves in visual content. Rather than waiting for a inclusive size issue from national publications, we wanted to create something that's seen all year round. It’s about honing in on the fact that all sizes are included in the fairy-tale. "Bridal Knows No Size", and because of that, we all can have our happily ever after!
