I'm considering buying an ad space in Bride(NY) but their summer issue doesn't go on sale until Feb 09... Isn't that kind of late for summer weddings, since many couples start booking much earlier on, like, now?
It varies, but many brides get engaged around Xmas and then start the planning phase. Most bridal shows are Jan/feb/Mar with a few in the fall. I got a call today for next May and the last one I booked was for next March. Six to 8 months out seems to be average here, for my market/price range.
