1.0 out of 5 stars You won't find grown-up wedding decoration ideas here., November 17, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Beautiful Wedding Decorations and Gifts on a Small Budget (Paperback)

This book was a little to girly for my husband and I. He gagged at most of the idea's presented in the book. I did think the book had a few interesting basic ideas, that with some creative thought and know - how could become more suitable decorations. I don't think many people would create exact replicas of the decorations in the book because most of them are a little out-dated and almost any groom would turn their nose up at them. I think just flipping through it in a book store is enough, in fact I never used my copy of the book. If your looking to make your own wedding decorations I suggest buying an actual craft leaflets (like The Complete Wedding Floral Book, by Leisure Arts) which you can get at your local craft store. These leaflets were what I used for my own wedding, and they where ten times more helpful than any wedding decoration book I have come across.

4.0 out of 5 stars I found the book to be a great help for the reception, September 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Beautiful Wedding Decorations and Gifts on a Small Budget (Paperback)

We created the tulle gazebo that is in the book. Other than adding a few extra touches, we did extacly how it was described. We received many compliments on it. I also did some of the favors, and incorporated some of the idea themes into our ceremony and reception. This book may not be for the "Modern Bride", but it is worth looking at if you are wanting to have a "Cinderella Wedding" without the expense.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too much hearts and flowers, March 23, 2000

I have to agree with the previous review; I found the book to be more girly than upscale. Fortunately, I bought the book used, so it wasn't much of an investment. But, yes, if you're looking for "Cinderella", you might find tons of romantic ideas that can keep you within a budget. This book is useful as a starting point, to get your creative juices going. If you're looking for truly unique, memorable, and modern, this book is not for you.
