 Mediocre at best... February 11, 2003
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Not worth the money. The book is split into 4 seasonal weddings: Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Each has a distinct theme and carries it through, which means you are only presented with four options to look through for wedding ideas. A lot of the ideas are also focused around food, so depending on whether you are hiring a caterer or not, that may not apply. Plus, over 100 pages (236-351 specifically) are footnotes, credits, and a list of vendors so there aren't any pictures or ideas from that point on. ....
 GROSSLY OVERPRICED; DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! May 29, 2002
21 out of 25 found this review helpful
The book is gorgeous -- until you realize that it is 99% photos and vague ideas, with no directions. Although not expecting step-by-step walk-throughs, I was unprepared for the lack of any hints on how to accomplish the projects shown. For example, it wouldn't have required very much space to mention the techniques used to make the favors. Okay, the reader would have to borrow library books or order books to show them how to make the projects, but at least they would have known where to start. [Money] for THIS? No way; this book arrived today, and has already been repackaged to return to Amazon tomorrow. If you have [money] you don't want, donate it to charity. Don't waste it on this!
 One of the Best May 11, 2002

In preparation for our wedding, I ordered just about every book that I thought looked appealing and got great reviews, literally HUNDREDS of dollars' worth of books! This and its companion, The Perfect Wedding, stood out among the rest.I liked it for the following reasons:
1. Beautiful pictures of original ideas. There were lots of pictures and lots of ideas. Obviously you aren't going to find a book that has absolutely every idea for flowers or cakes (it would be HUGE!), but the ones that this book included were very nice.
2. Good mix of pictures and text. About 3/5 of the book was pictures and ideas. It was divided up into 4 sections representing the 4 seasons, so you could get ideas for your specific season (getting inspiration from the best of your season is a great idea!). The other 2/5 of the book was resources with phone number, addresses, websites, etc., so you could actually get ahold of the people who put together the beautiful things in this book or go to the places that would give you more of a similar idea.
3. Not just for the wealthy. Granted that I personally am not too concerned with books geared for my budget, this book gave ideas for all ranges of budgets. Of course, some of the cakes, flowers, etc., must have been expensive, but she also gives ideas that are more budget-conscious. I would recommend this book, no question. It's better than Colin Cowie's, on par with Martha's, and definitely much better than Vera Wang's. Buy this book!
Loved it! December 28, 2001

This is the best book I've found yet to help me plan my big day. I especially LOVE the different ideas and colors tailored specifically for each season. I totally recommend it!!!!
 Ideas for All Seasons December 16, 2001
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Her ideas range from table settings to floral decor to food menus to wedding favors. Some of the ideas tend to be on the "high end" budget side of things. But I suppose you can easily adapt the ideas to your budget and to your taste. Several of the ideas are season-less, so you get more out of the book than just a 1/4 of it. Wonderful still photography shows the detail of each of her ideas. A good read!
