Summary: Throw a fantastic wedding on a fantastically low budget!
Review: I stumbled across this book while searching through what seemed like thousands of planners, workbooks and etiquette books at the bookstore. I was attracted to its unique shape (neither the standard small paperback size nor an oversized, hard-to-carry hardback) and found that it's contents were exactly what I needed. (The size of the book makes it easy to carry, tuck under your arm or stick in your purse while out and about!)The book is divided into chapters by topic - flowers, the dress, food, DJs, etc. The chapter on invitations helped me the most, I ended up ordering beautiful invitations for $...each from a mail-order catalog that I would have been wary of before. There are tons of ways out there to save money and still have the wedding you've always dreamed of. This book provides a wealth of knowledge about everything that is out there and available to you but may be a bit off the beaten path. The authors are very thorough in covering all aspects of wedding planning and leave nothing out. This book helped me to explore lots of options in every area of planning my wedding. They have so many suggestions and creative ideas in addition to a great summary of the usual planning ideas, tips and tricks. Planning a wedding can be very scary and intimidating and this book left me feeling prepared and armed with a wealth of knowledge when I went through planning my fantastic wedding!

Summary: Here's a reality check for Martha Stewart
Review: If you've recently picked up a copy of Modern Bride, or a wedding planning guide by the likes of Martha Stewart, you might get the impression that only the Sultan of Brunei can affort to get married. Bridal Bargains is a good reality check for the rest of us. Not only will this book help you save money, it will tell you how to get the most for every dollar you spend on wedding services. The authors uncover many of the rip-offs and outright scams that go on in the wedding industry. Did you know that the average wedding dress, which costs around $1,000, is made to be a disposable garment? That the award-winning photographer probably sends his less-talented assistant out on wedding shoots? If you're planning a wedding, read this book and be a smart bridal consumer

Summary: Answers to all the questions
Review: This book was one that my fiancee and i have read through at least 3 times each. It's a super reference for those who have no idea what to expect or where to get started. I actually kicked myself a few times when I did not review a section before visiting a vendor. These tips are REALLY useful. Even the ones you don't use yourself. Of all the books I was given or bought when we got engaged, this was hands down the most helpful. Compared to this one, none of the others were even worth the paper on which they were printed.
