NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 7, 2004

From selecting the perfect reception site to sinking her sweet tooth into the tastiest cake, the heart of a bride's wedding-planning process occurs at the local level. To help engaged couples make big day decisions and sort through the ever-growing list of wedding professionals, The Knot (www.theknot.com; AOL keyword: weddings), the #1 wedding resource, is rolling out the all-new THE KNOT Weddings(R) regional magazines in over 25 U.S. cities beginning this June.

Featuring an updated look and feel, the newest publications from the nation's most-trusted bridal megabrand combine The Knot's signature fresh voice and realistic advice with best-of-class regional expertise. From the skinny on bridesmaid dresses to fabulous first dance songs to the 411 on favors, to-be-weds from Atlanta to Los Angeles will find the answers and the pros they need for their weddings within the pages of their local edition.

Couples will also find a new local resource directory at the back of each guide that profile hundreds of vendors in the magazine. Through web links provided to their city's online guide on TheKnot.com, they can access even more information, tour reception sites, view portfolios of photographers, florists and even listen to bands and DJ's, all with the click of a mouse.

Beyond the multitude of trends, tips and vendor recommendations, the magazines' most noteworthy features include:

problems from today's recognized authority on the modern

"We've infused the best offerings from our national magazine THE KNOT Weddings -- great content, sassy style, and easy-to-use directories - into our new regional magazines. They're just the kind of super-functional resources that brides have come to expect from us," said Roney. "Now, couples planning weddings in their hometowns and from afar will have greater access to the most comprehensive information about local wedding resources, the inside scoop on the latest trends, and advice from the industry's top experts at their fingertips."
