The PPA Independent Publishing Company of the Year has acquired the bridal title

Wedding Ideas was founded in 2003, and publishes 13 times per year.

The print and online product publishes 'inspirational and practical' products, according to The Chelsea Magazine Company.

Included in the acquisition are Wedding Ideas social media accounts and website, and The British Wedding Awards.

The consumer awards are held yearly, to recognise wedding companies offering exceptional products and services.

The Chelsea Magazine Company Managing Director, Paul Dobson, said: “We are delighted to add Wedding Ideas to our collection of titles. The long-standing popularity of the print magazine and the strong year-on-year growth shown by the website makes this a very exciting acquisition for us and we look forward to further strengthening both aspects.”

Editor in Chief and founder of Wedding Ideas, Rachel Southwood, will continue in her role at the title.

Southwood said: “We are all so excited about the future and working with our new colleagues at The Chelsea Magazine Company to bring Wedding Ideas to more brides-to-be than ever by delivering high quality and valuable content to them across all media platforms. This is great news for me, great news for my wonderful team and even better news for Wedding Ideas.”
