I had four months to plan a wedding for 200 guests (my fiance insisted that we do it soon because he didn’t want me to wait until next summer to do it), so I had four months to stress instead of twelve. My fiance also would not give me any direction (“If I were to plan it, I would let an Elvis impersonator marry us in Vegas”), and I was working full-time as well. I read those Budget Brides books, but who has time to scavenger hunt for the cheapest dress? I needed some basic help…and fast.I found Weddings For Dummies *extremely* helpful because I didn’t know where to start. This book told me when to contact the photographer, videographer, and reception place, and it gave me tips on questions to ask. The book was an easy–and fun–read. The pictures were gorgeous; I loved what they did with the flowers. After my wedding, I gave this book to a friend who was getting married in the Carribean; she even forwarded it on to another friend!

As far as wedding planning goes, this book is a decent compilation of customs and how-tos for a “typical”, $20,000+ American wedding. The writing style can be extremely pretentious and perhaps offensive to brides with small budgets or who wish to have a truly unique ceremony. Buy a few bridal magazines and you’ll get most of the information contained herein, and a lot less preaching on the MUST-DOs of nouveau riche etiquette. It doesn’t contain much information on cultural weddings, ideas for very individualistic weddings. High brow brides will find it lacking in top rung etiquette and budget brides will likely give up after the first few chapters. There are much better resources out there – http://www.weddingchannel.com for starters.

As a magazine editor who covers the gift book trade, I see all forms of wedding guides. I found this one to be the most helpful, however, because not only does it cover every conceivable detail a bride must consider in planning her big day, the information is nicely organized into different chapters (cake, flowers, caterer, dress, etc.) for easy referencing. Even better, within each chapter, paragraph-length tidbits are marked with icons symbolizing messages such as “Caution!” or “Plan Ahead!”, definitely an aid to those dealing with short attention spans or high levels of stress.

While I wouldn’t say that this book is the most complete book for planning a wedding, I do feel it is a great starting point. Its hard trying to figure out where to start once you’re engaged and this book is really helpful because it helps point you in th edirection of where to start. Also filled with great, relatively simple yet elegant ideas for your wedding.

Most books I looked at focused completely on the wedding itself. Well, what about for those of us who plan on running off and want to focus on the party! Yes, this book does the full detail all you need to know on the wedding, but it has a GOOD deal of meat on the reception as well. I feel so much more confident renting a banquet hall, picking the meal, making the list etc etc…And – with most ‘for dummies’ books – this is an easy item to reference back to throughout your planning. You don’t have to bookmark the ‘important sections’ as the whole thing is full of important info that is EASILY navigatable to get back to at a later date.
