4 out of 5 stars Good Advice for the Budget-minded   July 19, 2004
 18 out of 21 found this review helpful

"How to Have an Elegant Wedding for $5,000 or less" worked for us. I had a pretty wedding with an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception for 120 people for $4,055 this June 2004. And that included my elegant spaghetti-strapped split-front white gown from Kauffman's. I used fake/silk flowers - they lasted through the June sunshine and the photo shoot at the local prepatory school. And there's nothing wrong with borrowing or renting things, or even making them yourself. It cuts down on the costs and still provides the elegant effect you want. This book by Jan Wilson and Beth Wilson Hickman showed me that fact, and gave me many useful hints.


3 out of 5 stars Not what I expected!!   April 21, 2004
 17 out of 18 found this review helpful

I'm trying to start my own business as a wedding planner and my best friends sister is my first bride. I bought this book because they didn't want to spend to much on their wedding, budgeting at around $5,000. So, I decided to buy this book to help me out. I was very dissapointed that it didn't talk much about how to save money, although it did give me great ideas. It wasn't exactly what I expected from a book titled "How to have an elegant wedding for $5,000 or less". When you pick up the book you think that you will be able to plan an entire wedding on a $5,000 budget, or LESS. It was okay, but not the best I've bought.


2 out of 5 stars Misleading Title   March 19, 2003

This book should be titled something like: "Things to Think About When Planning a Wedding". It contained very little money saving tips, which is why I bought the book.

This was a great book. I actually read it BEFORE I delved into the depths of planning and what I gained from it helped me to set the tone and the pace and the manner of my planning.


2 out of 5 stars Not worth the money   September 19, 2002

If you are really trying to throw a wedding for under 5,000 you can't afford this book. The book could have been called how to throw a wedding for 20,000 dollars. It really is a very basic wedding planner that has nothing to do with saving any money. The best book you could buy is Bridal Bargins. That book shows how to save money.
