Brides of Color Magazine Fills Gap and Goes Beyond the Wedding
Cover of debut issue - Spring 2007
Founder & Editor-in-Chief, K. Broussard
Houston, TX (BlackNews.com) - Bliss The Magazine, one of the first-ever complimentary bridal magazines for women of color has launched in Houston, Texas.
Bliss fills the gap and addresses a unique and viable niche. It features current, fresh, informative content relative to diverse backgrounds, creating a vital connection to an underserved market.
"In the face of the prevailing presence, purchasing power and rare beauty reflected in tones from ebony to ivory--women of color, specifically African-American, are consistently underrepresented in mainstream bridal publications," said K. Broussard, Founder and Editor-in-Chief.
As one of the first-ever complimentary bridal magazines for women of color, Bliss is considered a cross between Modern Bride and Essence. Fusing the before and after of a wedding, the Houston-based magazine presents an exquisite preview of wedding possibilities for the diverse bride and guides her into the journey of marriage.
"Bliss is tapping into a market, which has not been actively addressed nor included in the Houston area, much less nationwide, on a consistent basis. Also, Bliss goes a step further than the basic wedding magazine, featuring an entire department to address issues that are relative to making a marriage work."
Each edition will provide everything from wedding dresses to hard-hitting nuptial issues. Through the local focus segment, readers will read about the best of Houston's caterers, bakers, artists, designers, decorators and so on. As well, 'A Blissful Affair,' highlights selected Houston brides through a wedding day photo collage.
In the first issue, Bliss informs readers on what to do right after the engagement, provides a look at interracial marriage and gives tips on planning a wedding in another state. In future issues, there will be stories including celibacy before marriage, jumping the broom and other wedding traditions as well as fusing households just to name a few.
Through such content, Bliss is supplying the necessary resources for women of color to be enthused about, engaged in and educated on their wedding day and marriage.
Bliss, which debuted last month, is published quarterly by SaJhan Publishing, LLC. Complimentary copies are available at various locales in Houston. For $20, readers nationwide can subscribe to the publication. SaJhan Publishing, LLC will be launching Bliss in other metropolitan cities in the near future.
Founded in 2006, SaJhan Publishing, LLC is an independent publishing entity that produces and distributes publications catering to the diverse masses. For more information, please visit www.blissthemagazine.com
