Vogue gets Royal Wedding boost in May issue ad pages

Condé Nast has secured over a third more advertising pages year-on-year for Vogue's May issue, which will celebrate the Royal Wedding with multiple covers for the first time in the title's history.

The 382-page issue, which hits newsstands on Thursday (7 April), has 152 ad pages – an increase of 40 ad pages compared to last year's issue.

Vogue is offering readers a choice of three covers featuring models Freja Beha Erichsen, Lara Stone, and Natalia Vodianova dressed as brides. The images are shot by Mario Testino.

The issue carries the coverline "Catherine Middleton, the making of a modern princess" and looks back at the magazine's 95-year history of covering royal weddings.

Alexandra Shulman, editor of British Vogue, said: "We spent a great deal of time discussing what our tribute to the marriage of Catherine Middleton and Prince William should be, and we came up with a delicious confection of all things matrimonial, a portfolio of white fashion and a completely indulgent trio of bridal covers with Natalia Vodianova, Lara Stone and Freja as the figureheads for this commemorative issue."

According to latest figures from the Audit Bureau of Circulations, Vogue had an average net circulation of 211,277 for the six months to December 2010, which was up 0.4% year on year.

yay. i guessed one of them would be lara. my other guesses were anja rubik and kate moss.

I don't think Kate would stand for getting a cover split three ways. She'd have to have one cover all to herself (or at least share it with her supermodel equals).

that's true tho. but vogue uk seems to throw her onto the cover whenever there's an opportunity.

But this would have been shot a couple of months ago right? So it could have been pre (the alleged) dental surgery.

I see everyone got the note about looking "more pleasant" and smiling with your eyes...I give up

Wow, they all kind of look like shit. Lara looks like a deer in the headlights. Freja looks the best, I think.

Freja's cover is the best. Vogue UK is really a mess now a days though

freja looks stunning, even though i guess a lot of people could find this cover ironic. lara just looks bad, and natalia looks like me when i'm high....
