2.0 out of 5 stars For a Specific Audience, October 11, 2000
By A Customer
The audience for this book seems to be young couples who have not organized social functions. The overriding emphasis is on style, flowers, colors, settings, the entertainment side, having fun, and there is nothing wrong with that. I agree with the other commentators--far too much space is spent telling us to hire an expert to be in charge. If you want advice on themes, flowers, and clothing styles, on what is the "in" thing, this is your book. If you have an idea how to plan events and are looking for alternatives, choices, and simplicity, especially for those over forty, and there a lot of us,look elsewhere. It certainly builds up expectations for a grand event, but with the national divorce rate over fifty per cent, there is an air of unreality and impossible expectations as well. It closely resembles the three glossy publications for Washington, DC, promoting the commercial services to implement these plans. The best part is too brief--the psychology of working with the families and the main players. Also, union musicians cost more and are worth it if you are more interested in the quality of the music than in the experience for high schoolers.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save your money - use the library's copy!, March 20, 1998
By "litebulb" (Edmonton, Alberta) - See all my reviews
Sigh. Yet another bridal book. This one's a real disappointment -- an extended advertisement for hiring a wedding consultant!

"Weddings for Dummies" is a FAR better purchase and has much more valid and useful information. Very down-to-earth and practical.

I'd recommend buying the "For Dummies" title instead, and getting "The Complete Idiot's Guide" from the library, if you really want it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining, January 17, 1999
By A Customer
Though I agree that the "bridal consultant advertising" was a touch excessive, I still found the book to be a lighthearted look at the realities of weddings. I used it in conjunction with other books and it was the only one that lifted my spirit at a time when even happy things become slightly traumatic. This books has done the rounds amongst my friends and family who have gotten married and they all loved it.
