For the bride who craves culture and style…

Munaluchi Bride Magazine is the leading authority of bridal inspiration for women of color. Our stylish and chic print publication is released twice a year in major bookstores across the US and internationally.  In between issues, our website provides modern style-savvy brides with daily inspiration ranging from gorgeous real weddings, creative e-sessions, and all kinds of wedding goodness.

What

The name "Munaluchi" is a combination of two African names (one Ethiopian and the other Nigerian) which when fused together mean "Beautiful Work of God." The name perfectly describes our target audience, as all women, regardless of race or ethnicity are beautiful in their own light.

When

It was launched in 2010 by Jacqueline and Chike Nwobu after the realization that women of color are major contributors to the $160-billion wedding industry, but have minimal presence in most bridal print publications. Munaluchi Bride fills this void and provides the truest example that love comes in more than one shade.

Where

Munaluchi Bride is printed bi-annually and distributed in Target and Barnes and Noble stores nationwide, as well as other retail chains and major international airports.

Why

Women of color are major influencers in the wedding industry, yet are often under-represented in most publications and wedding websites.  Munaluchi fills this void, providing a bi-annual glossy and regularly updated website filled with fabulous wedding inspiration. Visit The Press Center →
