Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Baker and Young have designed more than 30 before-, during-, and after-wedding tchotchkes. In line with their do-it-yourself philosophy, they also keep an eye on the dollars, recognizing that an elaborate ceremony can cost in the five-figure range. Their saving ways are expressed first in "budget helpers" sidebars (for instance, check to see whether your wedding is booked with another on the same day or site, then ask about sharing the expense of flowers and other decorations), then in such specific chapters as shopping for a gown, and finally in the patterns, including decorative gifts (from a personalized wedding planner to taffeta pillows and champagne wrappers). Intended for brides-to-be with more than just "sew-sew" abilities. Barbara Jacobs

4.0 out of 5 stars
A little bit of everything for a great price.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Craft an Elegant Wedding (Creative Machine Arts Series) (Paperback)
Need something that touches on a little of everything you need to know to plan a wedding? Try this book. It gives you a timeline of how far ahead you should plan, a very useful template for planning your budget, planning what style wedding to have, and even what styles of wedding gowns are best for different body types. While this book doesn't have ALL the information you need, it certainly is a great planning book, including crafts for those who want to make items for their (or someone elses!) wedding. For the price, I think it's a great book to help you keep track of what things you need to get done, without pulling out your hair

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best book for making all your accessories!,

This review is from: Craft an Elegant Wedding (Creative Machine Arts Series) (Paperback)
I found this book in the library and checked it out continuously. Here are instructions for making all those high-priced accesories, like the frilly stuff for toasting glasses and cake knife sets. I got all that for a lot less than buying a set and it looked so much better. You can buy the toasting glasses and cake knife and server individually (and cheaper) and then decorate them yourself. Ring pillows, purses, garter, whatever you like. It's all here in this book.
