There’s a new wedding magazine on the newsstands here in France, and I am lovingit! Called Forever, this glossy is like InStyle Weddings with a delicious dollop of Parisian flair. Chock full of fashion, beauty and planning advice, I think Forever’s strongest selling point is their “Real Weddings”-type column called Témoinages, (”witnesses” in French). Fresh and modern pictorials of stylish weddings shot all over France, followed by a “Get This Look” page of resources- très trendy and pratique, non?

I’ve posted before about the differences between American and French wedding magazines, and I think that Forever Magazine definitely shortens the gap between the two. There’s still nary a mention of flowers or bouquets (what’s up with that?), but this issue does dare to dip its pinkie-toe into the vast ocean of DIY: even if it is just a sponsored article on personalizing your place settings. My one concern is that this first issue is so lovely, so well layed-out, and so full of really useful information, the following issues will seem flimsy in comparison. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
