Look at your local flea markets and antique stores. Locations that sell antiques almost always carry a hefty supply of paper products, including old bridal magazines. You'll find things from the 20s (and perhaps earlier if you look hard enough), all the way up to several years ago. For more retro, as opposed to vintage, look at specialty stores that have a focus in retro merchandise (70s, 80s, 90s era).

Go straight to the magazine's website, especially if you're looking for a specific issue. Martha Stewart Weddings, Simple Weddings, Vanity Fair and beyond all have piles of old magazines sitting around the office in case someone wants to purchase them. You can call the magazine directly or go online to its customer service center and order a "back issue" of the magazine of your choice.

Visit a book resale shop that also resells magazines. While the selection of old bridal magazines available may vary for each store, most carry back issues that go as far back as the 1920s and 30s. Note that most resale shops will carry magazines mostly from the past 5 years.

Advertise your desire to purchase old bridal magazines on a website such as Craigslist.org. You may also find people selling what you're looking for there. Another excellent online option is eBay.com. Both organizations will often have great prices on these items.
