5.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Italian Wedding Guide, July 19, 2002

By 

Bill LeClair (Sierra Madre, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abbondanza!: Planning an Italian Wedding (Hardcover)

This is a nice and easy way to plan a wedding, the book is direct and has a lot of different ideas on how to plan the perfect Italian wedding. I read it in one sitting and found myself able to apply all of the ideas to my own plans.
I liked the breakdown of each chapter and there is enough suggestions in each category to answer any question I could of had.
I liked the simple structure of the book and how no matter what I wanted to know about all I did was look in the index and there it was.
It had a nice sense of humor to it and wasn't so stuffy and formal.
I would HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone planning an Italian Wedding.

5.0 out of 5 stars just what I was looking for, May 26, 2006

By 

Lolly (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Abbondanza!: Planning an Italian Wedding (Hardcover)

This book was well-written and very helpful. it gives specific menu ideas along with recipes, information about what certain foods symbolize, and foods from the different regions of Italy. It also goes into detail about the Italian wine regions and gives ideas for serving wines. This book includes information about Italian wedding traditions and stories from people about their Italian traditions and experiences. It gives ideas for wedding locations, how to plan it, tips on planning a wedding in Italy and suggestions for wardrobe, music, Italian dances and a lot more. This book is obviously well-researched and also speaks from first-hand experience only gained from living Italian!

I loved this book! It has tons and tons of info, and would be very helpful for someone marrying an Italian as well. There are menus, recipes, pictures and lots of ideas to get you going. I am an italian american who wanted an italian wedding, although I've never been to one! This book had everything I could possibly wonder about.
