Plan a wedding celebration that has every guest saying "Wow!"--with these creative, surprisingly affordable flourishes from one of the most sought-after wedding planners coordinators in the country

The secrets of Vogue's preferred wedding planner are now available to brides everywhere. Celebrities such as Brooke Shields, Courteney Cox-Arquette, Molly Shannon and Taye Diggs have turned to Love Luck and Angels, Jo Gartin's events planning company, for twists on traditional invitations, unique celebrations and weddings that are anything but stuffy. Now, this lifestyle planner to the stars has compiled the ultimate wedding guide, designed to help any bride make her fairytale come true.

Dozens of lush color photographs capture Gartin's signature style as she shows readers how to create beautiful bouquets, breathtaking tabletops and thoughtful take-home treats.

In Jo Gartin's Weddings, readers will:
*Be invited into Jo's custom stationery portfolio as she presents an array of her most-requested invitations
*Accompany Jo as she joins with renown designer, Monique Lhuillier to present sought after styling tips
*Learn how to transform bargain wedding dresses into one-of-a-kind gowns that would stop Vera Wang in her tracks - for under $500!
*Discover fun ways to present and serve cocktails, hors d'oeurves, and sweet treats
*Be seduced by to-die-for ideas for cake decoration that won't break the bank.

This must-have guide for every bride treats readers to a smorgasbord of personal touches and insider secrets for a tiny fraction of Gartin's regular fee.

4.0 out of 5 stars I want more! January 18, 2006
By E.M.
Format:Hardcover
The new InStyle has excerpts from this book - beautiful photos of bouquets that caught my eye - so I decided to check it out. My sister-in-law has asked for help with her wedding and this book is chock full of simple, elegant, modern ideas. Fresh and fun - like it's being planned by a cool friend and not your mom! We are totally using Gartin's ideas for gift baskets - the coolest I've seen so far and invites: hers are elegant, never stuffy. My only issue with the book: why isn't it bigger?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great find January 6, 2006
Format:Hardcover
My friend just got engaged, I wanted to find the perfect book.There are so many out there that are all the same, boring and not very helpful unless you have a million dollars. I was so excited to come across this book. Wow, it's gorgeous! Not only is it stylish, but there are so many amazing ideas ,that you feel you can really plan your wedding without having to spend alot of money. The author seems to have so many tricks up her sleeve, I hope she puts out another book so I can learn even more. It's young, sophisticated and really unique.
My only qusetion is why is it on sale ? I loved it and so did my friend. I will recommend it to everyone. Thank you for putting out a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars The very best in a competitive field. January 3, 2006
Format:Hardcover
Reluctantly, I read some of the litany of literature my fiance (now- wife) picked up for our nuptials. This was the only book that was not only useful, practical and informative, but beautifully laid out and laden with gorgeous pictures and illustrations. Needless to say, I still get grief from both my literary and hunting buddies for reading it cover to cover, but it is the book I'm buying for ALL my friends who are marching down the aisle anytime soon. I feel kind of cool for having read it early on, as I'm absolutely certain it will become the book of choice for all engaged couples.
