Summary: This is the one I keep coming back to
Review: After all the money I have spent on wedding books and magazines, I need only have bought this one. I find myself referring to it again and again. Bless Colin Cowie for his panic-free, pretence-free, commonsense approach to weddings. There are detailed examples of some beautiful weddings, some quite lavish, but full of great ideas. In addition "Weddings" covers all the issues you need to know about, in a sophisticated, yet unembellished way. Some really good advice about "the dress", catering ideas for various types of weddings, music, invitations, rehearsal dinners, flowers and most everything else.

It really put the fun back into my wedding planning. All kinds of weddings are covered here, and ideas for every budget. This gorgeous book is very modern and full of style.

Summary: Elegant, creative and thorough wedding guide.
Review: Colin Cowie's "Weddings" is by far the most elegant, creative and thorough wedding guides to date. Having been planning our own nuptuals for the past year, with Colin's help, we've been able to create the many nuances we want without spending a fortune. Colin's many wedding couples each displayed colorful and unique settings, invitations, food and fashion. The photo essays, the menus and individual stories expressed the magic of each tale. Elegance is within your reach with Colin Cowie's "Weddings".

Summary: Essential if you want a unique wedding
Review: Colin Cowie's book begins with examples of weddings that most people could never afford, which can be frustrating. However, once he moves into designing your own wedding, the book becomes much more exciting. As a matter of fact, I suggest reading the wedding examples after everything else, to provide a better sense of how Cowie puts his ideas into action. Cowie offers some basic ideas that really do help you plan your wedding in a unique way. His approach is incredible, and his book is worth buying for that fact alone. This book is a must for anyone who has read the magazines, seen the planners (i.e., any girl who has dreamt of a wedding all her life), and is ready to create something very personal and special. Don't buy this book off the bat; buy it 3 months into your wedding planning. This book is a lifesaver for anyone who is burnt-out on the wedding plans and needs a source of inspiration!

Summary: Pretty but unfulfilling
Review: Colin Cowie's book is an amazing piece of eye candy for the bride. There are definitely ideas to be lifted and adapted here that make the book more than worthwhile. HOWEVER, the book is extremely expensive and if you want to purchase more content than fluff (beautiful as it may be) it may be best to borrow this book or page through it for ideas. There are very few practical contributions that this book can make to your planning process (although I did keep referring back to the wedding day timetable).

Summary: Wonderful !
Review: Great for a visually inspired person as well as having some great text to help you in the planning and execution of this important day.

Yes, the weddings that Mr. Cowie deals with are pretty over-the-top but he offers some beautiful ideas to help you decide on the type of wedding that YOU want and not what the world expects.

The text is informative and the pictures divine.

I can't wait till his next book comes out.

Thank you , Mr. Cowie , for a fun book.
