You read that right, we’re launching a brand-new publication, Iron Diamond. After seven successful regional publications, show-stopping ‘Best of’ galas and the growth of our new podcast, we are going national.
Sonja Babich, owner and CEO of Iron Diamond Media and 2026 B2B Publisher of the Year, announces the highly anticipated next-step for the company at the WIPA '26 Convention. "This national launch is more than a milestone—it's the realization of a vision the Iron Diamond team has been building for years. Our goal has always been to elevate the wedding industry through inspiring editorial, meaningful experiences, and authentic connections that celebrate the incredible creativity and talent of wedding professionals. As we expand our reach, we're honored to bring our luxury brands to more communities across the country, inspiring couples while strengthening the relationships that make this industry so extraordinary. This next chapter allows us to continue setting the standard for luxury wedding media and creating lasting value for our readers, followers, members, partners, and communities nationwide," Babich states.
Sourcing from new territories as well as established and beloved regional brands, Iron Diamond will push forward our legacy of high-end wedding day inspiration with engaged couples across the country. The biannual publication will follow the structure of existing magazines by providing trend-setting editorial content and high-end bridal fashion while simultaneously guiding and educating the nearly wed through the wedding process. And of course, real weddings will be selected from across the country to celebrate the love stories of newlyweds and showcase the careful craftsmanship of top wedding vendors.
Built by the individuals that comprise Iron Diamond Media who have worked to craft the existing publications, podcast, websites and events, Babich is proud of the group fueling this project, stating, "This achievement belongs to an extraordinary team whose passion, creativity, and dedication have brought our vision to life. Every publication, every event, every partnership, and every story reflects the talent and commitment of the people behind Iron Diamond Media. I'm incredibly grateful to work alongside a team that continually raises the bar, embraces innovation, and is deeply committed to serving our members, wedding professionals, partners, readers, and communities. Their unwavering pursuit of excellence is what makes this national launch possible, and I'm excited for everything we'll accomplish together."
