I have to qualify this review in that I viewed this DVD that a friend had purchased for themselves; they wanted something that wasn't immensely detailed, and they felt it was a good reference tool for their needs. I had purchased Martha's "Complete Weddings" DVD, so it was an interesting comparison of the two. If you are looking for a brief overview of wedding planning, then this would be a very well-done general reference guide. It will give you an overview of wedding day idea's and will be most helpful.

You get a little bit of flowers, dresses, cakes, atmosphere, etc. so this is an informative, but basic, tool to help you in your plans. The quality of film, sound, and color is superb, as always. She gives her lessons slow enough to take notes, but still with enough information that you feel you have a good hold of the subject.

This is a wonderful choice for the basics of wedding planning, or even for a fancy party. Congratulations on one of the happiest days of your lives!!!

I was disappointed in several aspects of this DVD. First of all, if you are an avid Martha-on-TV watcher, you have probably seen most of these segments. Secondly, the cake on the case front is not shown or demonstrated on the DVD. Thirdly, the wedding gown segments are virtually repeats of one another--showing the typical silhouettes of wedding gowns and recommendations of figure types for each.

This DVD is very useful for taking new ideas for a wedding planner in a quick view. As wedding planner you must be updated.
Delivery - very punctual

I think money would be better spent on a subscription to Martha Stewart Weddings, where I find better/more ideas and instructions in almost every issue.

I was able to rent this DVD from my library for $1.

I would have given this 5 stars if I was a Wedding Planner. But as a Bride to be it was a bit too informative. The DVD's are very detailed on arranging flowers, baking cakes, types of linen, dresses, the behind the scenes information. Each segment seems to be from Martha's shows. She is very descriptive and gives a ton of info. She is a bit dry by nature, so it's not very bubbly. But if you are coordinating your wedding and you want as much info as you can get, I would recommend these DVD's. I personally wished that they would have had more "real" wedding examples and maybe taken you from beginning to end of 4 different style and budget type events. But not a total waste of $$$.
