Description of some brides, look, captured by ‘married’, possibly (4-5)

I believe the answer is:

mail-order

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'description of some brides' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'look captured by married possibly' is the wordplay.
'look' becomes 'lo'.
'captured by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'possibly' indicates an anagram.
'married' anagrammed gives 'mairder'.
'lo' going within 'mairder' is 'mailorder'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for mail-order that I've seen is " what brides may be".)
