What the world (or at least this bride to be) needs is a wedding planning book that helps brides-to-be to devise a wedding that expresses the couple's individual style and celebrates the meaning of their marriage. This planner would help brides sidestep the wedding industry and its overhyped and overpriced products to create a satisfying ceremony and fabulous celebration. At the very least, it would help brides decide which of the wedding traditions and consumables are for them, and which they want to rethink according to ther own lights.I read the previous book, The Anti-Bride Guide, and it fit the above description well enough that I sprung for this planner. However, in the interval between the Guide and the Planner, pernicious editors or writers from In-Style Magazine have turned it into a different concept. While the other book helped people devise their own look that doesn't neccesarily involve white and veils, this one advises on waists and bodices and suggests that you wear canary colored diamonds to be unique. While the other book helped you come up with great ideas for catering your own wedding, this one skips all that in favor of a list of questions to ask caterers. Etc. If you have an indie or DIY outlook, this isn't your book, though you could get a few ideas from it. To be fair, it does deviate from that model in a few instances (like flower and invitation concepts), and it definitely offered some creative ideas. There were even a couple I'll use. But overall, it was the same old thing.
