In response to the growing scope and popularity of wedding-related
offerings and the media attention given to celebrity and royal
weddings, The Bride Factory critically examines various bridal
media outlets, artifacts, and the messages they convey about women
today. The book departs from conventional wisdom and other
treatments of the bridal industry as a scholarly topic by revealing
how media portray women in modern American society, and how these
portrayals reflect feminism and femininity and illustrate the
hegemony created by these media. The book discusses the portrayal
of women as brides in media coverage throughout history; the
various forms of wedding media, including print, television, and
the Internet; how bridal media forward ideals of feminine beauty;
how reality wedding programs depict brides - and the new
"bridezilla" - as agents of control over their perfect day; the
role of men in wedding planning; and the extent to which the white
wedding ideal is embraced or resisted, with special attention given
to alternative wedding media. Cohesive and multidisciplinary in its
approach, The Bride Factory is the first major publication to shed
critical light on bridal media and their feminist implications.
