Someone just starting their wedding planning and want to see just how glamourous it can be
Beautiful photos of some of the chic-est and most coordinated weddings I've seen, with upbeat text from (celebrity?) wedding/event planner Colin Cowie.
While the photos were beautiful, I realised quite quickly the book's main vision didn't match what I had already had in mind for my wedding. The focus is definitely toward larger, grander weddings, that drip with luxury (which I guess would match the "Chic" in the title). Separate sections for flowers, stationary and othe...more

This book presents Colin Cowie's recommendations for how to design and put on the production that he considers a wedding to be. I wasn't sold on the whole idea. In fact, there were a number of statements that I read that I just thought must be a joke. Cowie kept referring to "your wedding vision."

Well, I guess if you have money to spare Colin Cowie has some great ideas, such as a silver champagne bucket filled with a dozen bottles of Cristal. Some of the pictures were bad as well, not what you would expect from a high end wedding. All in all, it is good inspiration that can translate in to realistic events.
skimmed it in 2 minutes, was horrified, will completely disregard and do my own thing. sure its a perfectly helpful book for those who want the over the top wedding and it has pretty pictures but not for me who wants a tiny family/close friends party with a quick 'i do' tossed in at some point.
Should be renamed "how to be gaudy and show little taste"
Bleh, not my decorating taste at all. Too expensive and too... over-the-top cable wedding show. This will definitely be a great book for some people, it just wasn't for me.
