Another magazine bites the dust.

InStyle Weddings, the bridal spinoff of the flagship fashion title, published its last issue, which will be on newstands from Dec. 25 through March 5, 2010, according to Fashion Week Daily.

According to Echo Media, the magazine was the No. 1 selling bridal book on the newsstand. Modern Bride and Elegant Bride  were folded into Brides magazine  in early October.

If you’re looking for a bridal magazine, you can still find Martha Stewart Weddings; The Knot and Town & Country Weddings on the bookshelves.

A source said the closing of InStyle Weddings wa direct result of the economic impact of the dwindling bridal market, it said in Fashion Week Daily.  Saks Fifth Avenue closed its bridal salons at the end of 2008, and designers have slashed prices on their bridal gowns, with Vera Wang announcing a 40-50 percent cut in gown prices earlier this year and Badgley Mischka offering a new, lower-priced Mark and James label.
