This is, I feel, one of the best books on the market. I have purchased and scanned numbers of other books, and none compare to this. It spends a lot of time on how to make a realistic budget, and how to stick to that budget. This can be a messy, but necessary part of the wedding planning. Along with wonderful advice and tips, the actual authors of the book are a mother/daughter team who started in the wedding business by planning the daughters marriage a number of years ago. This very personal introduction explaining their begining created in me a great confidence and trust in the authors. I feel that the authors really have a solid grasp on what to expect, how to deal with vendors, and even include a chapter on the brides anxieties and stresses before the wedding. They write in an easy manner and include numerous real life stories to make points and show examples. Though, I personally plan to spend more than 5,000 dollars on my wedding, they give wonderful advice on how to cut costs, and not create a 'tacky' affair. Their budgeting advice is the best. I feel this book goes over every aspect of the wedding and deals with numerous scenarios. It is truely a great find.

Great book July 4, 2000

This is a great book. It presents the information in a number of different formats including the authors' text, lists, and stories. I recommend it to any bride planning a wedding. There are compromises to be made to keep the cost below $5000, but even if your budget is higher there are great suggestions and organization techniques.
doesn't really offer tips on saving money June 29, 2000

Although this is rated high up there with the many top wedding advice books, this still isn't one of the best. My main and only problem of the book is where is the "budget" aspect of the book as it says in the title. They offer numerous and helpful tips and advice about planning a wedding, even an elegant wedding. But for those actually looking for advice on keeping a wedding under a limited budget, this isn't the book. For real and practical budget advice, I recomend Bridal Bargains by D. Fields.
A good solid wedding planning book May 9, 2000
12 out of 15 found this review helpful
This book contained much of the detail from the other books that I had read previously...but more importantly it got rid of some of the BS. It did NOT have product advertisements. It did not berate the groom.It gave good advice and contained some interesting stories and personal experiences. Out of the 3 books on weddings I have read and the 50 books I have paged through, this one is the best. Not the most complete (you can find thicker books or books with more lists), but definitely the best.
