This review is from: A Bride's Book (Spiral-bound)

This is the best book on the market to help organize a wedding! It is wonderfully organized and the photos are fantastic. The "to-do" lists are really helpful and i used every section of this book to pull together my wedding. I have given this book to several of my bride-to-be friends and all of them have loved it. It really is the perfect shower present. I can't recommend this highly enough--for anyone planning a wedding or needing a gift for a favored bride.

This review is from: A Bride's Book (Spiral-bound)

Marsha Heckman is the most original, romantic bridal designer in the U.S. I've seen most bridal and wedding books, and Marsha's (this one and BOUQUETS) really cut through a lot of the stuff we see everywhere else. A BRIDE'S BOOK helps a woman create a unique, personal wedding that's true to her own style. It doesn't hurt that the photos are gorgeous too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautiful Gift, August 19, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: A Bride's Book (Spiral-bound)

"A Bride's Book" is both visually exquisite and extremely valuable for any bride to be. As a mother of the bride, it was extremely helpful during the year before the wedding. I had my own copy, which turned out to be beneficial to both my daughter and me. The attention to detail helped bring order to the chaos of planning and executing the perfect wedding.
I often give "A Bride's Book" to the daughters of my friends when they becomne engaged. It is a beauiful gift.
