5.0 out of 5 stars Can I Have a SECOND Wedding?!, October 21, 2006

Wedding planning is, to say the least, HECTIC! There are so many different things to consider and, often, so many PEOPLE to consider when planning each an every detail of your wedding. Ms. Howe's book is an excellent step-by-step guide that will keep any bride-to-be calm and confident as she works toward "The Big Day". It has all the necessary checklists, reminds us of each detail that may otherwise be overlooked, and provides space for a bride (or her fiance) to write notes about her hopes and specifications for the perfect wedding. If you were just given an engagement ring, treat yourself to this excellent guide! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for planning my US wedding, January 10, 2007

By 

Jennifer Lee (US) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The One Stop Wedding Kit (Paperback)

The previous reviewer obviously hasn't read this book or they would know that it's highly relevant to US, and was written by an author who is in fact British, not Australian. And at almost 300 pages I wouldn't call it `brief' - any longer and I couldn't fit it in my handbag.

Personally I found this book a fantastic help in organizing my wedding here in the US, but more importantly it's receiving great reviews in the US and the UK, and even The New York Times has sung its praises. I would really recommend it to any bride searching for a fun, stress-free approach to wedding planning and lots of clever cost saving tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to plan a stylish yet affordable wedding!, January 15, 2007

This review is from: The One Stop Wedding Kit (Paperback)

This was a great book! We had a limited budget and I loved all the creative cost saving ideas. Other books were either too old fashioned in their wedding ideas or at the other extreme, too modern and wacky. This was great at helping us design a modern yet stylish wedding. Highly recommend it. Also I'm from the UK but my spouse is from the USA and we both thought this book would work great in either country.
