Review: This is the MUST HAVE of wedding planning. Absolutly insrpirational ideas, arrangements and "How did she do that?" innovations. Worth every penny and then some.

Summary: Great Reference!
Review: This was a great help in my sister's wedding. If you're tying the knot, this is a must read along with In-Law Drama the novel.

Summary: We should keep book reviews confined to books!
Review: We selected this book for my niece's wedding because in our opinion it is the most helpful one out there - better than Maria McBride, better than Colin Cowie, better than Vera Wang. These other books are terrific eye candy, but there is no way the average America family can afford spend the kind of money it would take to pull off their themes [millionaires and movie stars, maybe - not the average bride and groom]. Martha's ideas and suggestions are stunningly simply, beautiful, classy, affordable and very doable. I recommend this book highly.

Summary: A Lovely Book
Review: When my daughter and I planned her wedding last year, we found that it was easy to get overwhelmed by the commercial hoopla around the wedding preparation process. This book helped by having plenty of beautiful ideas all in one place.
The book includes a variety of styles -- unlike the bridal magazines, which all seemed to have the same ideas over and over. All the ideas are classic, elegant, and practical. We were able to use the pictures in this book to crystallize ideas, which we then could take to our wedding professionals, who were able to help us make them affordable and realistic for a simple backyard wedding.
The book goes through flowers, cakes, refreshments, stationery, favors, and music. From the early dream stage through the final preparations, it is a useful and practical help.
