For the Bride

Rating:
Summary: Different from many of the other wedding-help books
Review: Exactly what every bride needs to know about planning her perfect wedding - style, etiquette, logistics. Even though I can't afford to hire Colin to plan my wedding, I now know how to apply his unique approach. This book is everything the other planning books are not - gorgeous and fun! It feels like I'm treating myself to a special meeting with Colin Cowie, not trudging through the tedious details. FOR THE GROOM is even better - everything you wished your fiance already knew. They look so great next to each other!

Summary: Some good advice, some over-the-top advice
Review: I am a wedding consultant and was fortunate enough to get an autographed copy. "For the Bride" is beautifully written and a must for all brides that are interested in socially accepted and gracious living. I found it very inspiring and practical. I highly recommend it to all my clients. It is a book you want to run out and buy the minute the ring is on the finger. It is the top of the line in wedding reading.

Summary: Amazing
Review: I cannot express how much I enjoyed reading this book. It was instructional and had some very clever ideas I had not seen in the other fifty wedding books I've read in the last few months, however the photographs were even more impressive. I highly recommend this to any bride, although especially to those attempting to plan a semi-formal-formal elegant wedding.

Summary: Great Ideas!
Review: I own so many wedding books that I often get overwhelmed when contemplating my wedding plans, but this book has such wonderful concrete ideas that I have used it from day one. It is very text rich, so you should give yourself at least one hour to sift through it, but it is well worth your time.
Colin Cowie is a wedding planning genius and his ideas have helped me compromise on a few things, especially since our wedding is not a big budget ball.

Summary: A wonderful start to being engaged, and a Great Gift Idea!
Review: I purchased this book for myself, and know that I will be buying it again to give as a gift. This book is my reminder to enjoy being engaged and gives great tips to make the most of your engagement time. "For the Bride" contains invaluable information for the engaged woman that I haven't seen anywhere else. Cowie's writing is thoughtful, refined and relaxing. It can be read as a whole, in chapters, or in the small "question & answer" sections. For those of you who think that this book is for people with lots of money... this is meant to be a jumping off point. Cowie gives many suggestions of how things can be done, and stresses that anything can be done differently and altered to your own personal style. (Not everything has to be expensive!) This book is THE tool to develop the style for your wedding and your marriage. I plan on purchasing "For the Groom" for my fiance as soon as possible.

Summary: ESSENTIAL
Review: It is so easy to get swept away by the monumental task of planning a wedding. Reading a few pages of Colin's book each evening before sleep has been a wonderful reminder of what really matters: cherishing my husband-to-be, caring for him and for our families, being warm and gracious. Being engaged is a wonderful opportunity to shine, while all eyes are smiling on you, and to set the tone for your future life together as a couple.

Full of useful suggestions and gentle humor, Colin's book is an inspiration.
