I’m sure there is a lot of wonderful information for the right bride, which is why I didn’t give a lower rating. This book didn’t work for me, though. Based on my constraints for religious and cultural traditions, a lot of the money-saving recommendations wouldn’t work.
We got some interesting ideas from this book, it was nicely organized and had lots of pretty pictures. All American-based, though, and their "budget" weddings were all over $15,000.
not one of my favorites read through it but didnt really find anything i found helpful although others who WANT a high class stylish wedding might. (my mom added it to my list)
