 Substance stands up to test of time June 10, 2008
As 'The Best of MS Living Weddings' proved to be a winner for my family, and another wedding recently came on to our horizon, 'Weddings' was ordered.
Relatively few wedding books explore 'at home' celebrations, so I was glad to invest in a copy. I was prepared to overlook the c1980s details because I had every confidence that Ms Stewart's abilities as a caterer and competent authority on nuptials would stand the test of time.
I must admit that the appearance of this book truly is outdated (caused mostly by its now unfashionable pictorial format and photographs of bad couture, some hopelessly ridiculous bridesmaid costumes, etc). Nevertheless, the substance hasn't been at all compromised.
'Weddings' contains the introductory information that I was looking for: sensible points worth mulling over. In particular, it offers a good introduction to the concept and process of planning.
Since reading this book, I have had plenty to consider and reconsider. Unexpectedly, this book showed me that what appear now to be kitsch or faddish details are really sobering reminders of the importance of keeping everything as simple and as timeless as possible.
Great info though some is outdated April 18, 2008

It's great information for someone planning a wedding. Some old info, but one can change things to make their own perfect wedding.

I bought this at a garage sale for $2.00. Our neighbor's daughter was getting married but the book was not very good. The ideas are very dated. If you want to plan a 1970s style wedding and want to spend a lot of money for a picture of Martha when she was young and not grossly overweight than this is your book.

I was very disappointed with this particular book. I was looking forward to a book with many wedding ideas, however, this book is less of ideas and more on weddings meanings and tradition. The ideas it does share are very out-of-date.

Gaby deLourdes-Renoir reviews(a Top-10 Amazon.com reviewer) made us love Martha Steward books. "Wedding" is full of extraordinary pictures. You just dream you were there! Will your daughter ever know such beautiful moments? Martha Steward helps you to think "yes" as an answer. Just because she explains you how to cut into small pieces a huge "wedding-cake" (the wedding party you will have to organize). Chapters are divided into specific subjects that can easily be handled by one specific responsible in your family. In the "lightning" chapter, you will discover through artistic (and useful) pictures how to create a cheap impressive range of lights in the garden with yellow paper bags and ordinary candles. All chapters include bright ideas for beautiful people (like you and me...). I love books that make me feel "I can do it". Especially when they show me beautiful people a a help in the identification process.
