Tiger Oak Media Acquires Your Wedding Day Magazine

Wednesday 20. April 2011 - YWD to Re-Launch with a Fresh New Look

The publisher of Your Wedding Day (YWD) magazine has been acquired by Tiger Oak Media who will re-launch the title on August 25, 2011. Your Wedding Day magazine was previously owned and operated by Ojai-based publisher DMZ Corp. The creative team behind Your Wedding Day will continue to develop the title under direction from Tiger Oak Media.
The acquisition of Your Wedding Day with Tiger Oak Media is a natural fit: Tiger Oak Media publishes Arizona Bride, Oregon Bride, Seattle Bride, Wisconsin Bride and Minnesota Bride. The acquisition of Your Wedding Day by Tiger Oak Media provides Tiger Oak the ability to deliver bride related media to the entire west coast.
“We look forward to the continued growth of Your Wedding Day through this acquisition,” said Craig Bednar, President, Tiger Oak Media. “Your Wedding Day is a title that has a strong record of serving the California bridal community and we look forward to continuing their tradition of being the voice and resource for current trends in the wedding industry.”
Thea Hargrove, Publisher and Executive Editor, will remain at the helm of Your Wedding Day magazine. “I am excited to once again be creating the YWD brand and serving the community,” Hargrove said. “Your Wedding Day has been my passion for nearly a decade and knowing that a powerhouse such as Tiger Oak Media can provide additional resources is exciting to say the least. I look forward to working with Tiger Oak Media for years to come.”
“I have worked many years at managing the Your Wedding Day brand and have always believed in the product,” said Elio Zarmati, Chairman of DMZ Corp. “We made the right decision that the best way to preserve the brand would be through acquisition. Tiger Oak Media can take the magazine to a whole new level.”
