If you've got a brain and some common sense you don't need this book. It was a total waste of money. The only tips that were even partially helpful were the make-up tips, and you can get that information at your department store cosmetic counter (pick your favourite brand, mine's Clinique). If you honestly have NO clue what to do with regard to making wedding choices and can't find the information on the Internet, then go ahead and make the purchase.

The make-up chapter alone is worth the price of the book. I don't normally wear a lot of make-up, and I couldn't afford to hire a professional for my wedding, but this book was almost like having Mitchell right there. I followed his advice, and was very please with the results.

The other chapters were very useful as well. All in all, the best advice he gives is "Less is more."

Mitchell really knows his stuff--the best eyebrow plucking advice I've ever read. He articulates all the common-sense stuff about beauty and hair that you wish someone would put down on paper (if you want to do your own upsweep, read this book). If only he'd used photos instead of illustrations! But it's very helpful nonetheless.

I found this book useful because it covers a lot of ground. It has tips on everything. There are tips on gowns, flowers, hair, makeup... I would definitely recommend this book for any bride-to-be.

This book is a must-have for anyone getting ready to walk down the aisle. Mitchell, a top New York stylist (I'm lucky enough to get my hair done by him) offers practical, easy-to-follow advice --and helps you become a beautiful bride!
