It's like having a calm, savvy friend who wants to save your life. Immediately, Naylor de-stresses the planning process, making it clear how even last-minute planning can be done without making you wonder why you got engaged in the first place. The book is full of real insider tips and secrets, such as what day and time to visit a florist so you can REALLY see if they're right for you, and how to make sure the videographer's lights won't leave your guests squinting through all the important stuff (who knew?!?) I especially liked all the anecdotes and advice she included from actual weddings, to help you get an idea what you do and don't want at your own wedding (and to help avoid disasters). Overall, this is the real thing -- full of very good, practical advice.

I borrowed this wonderful book from our public library, and I liked it so much I've asked for it for Christmas. If I don't get it, I'm buying it for myself! Lots of good ideas for cutting out those unnoticeable extras that can cut into your budget. Written in a fun, easy-going and sentimental style, it's a quick read that will leave you excited about planning your wedding!

We didn't have a lot of time to plan my cousin's wedding, but this book gave us great insight in a format that was both readable and informative. Ms. Naylor knows her subject. Too bad I am already married. But seriously, if you know of anybody who got a recently got a ring and will soon get another- this book is a great engagement present.

Run, don't walk, to your nearest book supplier and soak up Naylor's extensive knowledge before you even THINK of taking the big step. The author wears many hats...efficiency expert, bridal consultant, & psychologist among them...and takes you step-by-step through every phase of the planning process needed to have the wedding of your dreams. This is Dr. Spock for the bride-to-be!!!

The pressure's on when you only have a few months to get all the planning done. Naylor's book nails it! Gave me lots of pointers and things I never thought of before. Set it all out for me. Super job! It's going to be a regular engagement gift that I'll give all my friends....

I was disappointed with this book. I was looking for something that would make me feel less stressed out about the short time to plan a wedding, but instead it increased it. The book starts off by telling you that because of your short time you will need to do six months of work in the first month. The book is useful as a wedding planning guide, but it says a lot of the same things that other wedding planning books say. I wouldn't read this book as a real help for planning a wedding quickly though.

This book has been very useful in figuring out ways to mitigate the expense of planning a wedding quickly (I'm @ 5 months and counting!!) Without as much time to shop around, you need to get creative and this book does help. Some of the ideas are obvious, but there are enough you won't have thought of to make the purchase worth it. Written in a friendly, enjoyable style to make it a fun read.

When you are trying to plan a wedding in less than a year, this is definitely the book to buy. It is thorough, yet easy to read, and practical. Makes fast wedding planning do-able.

I have to say that when we started discussing marriage I went straight to the library and checked out 10 books. This was the only one I wanted to keep! She has great insight and its an easy read. I felt like I was getting tips from a seasoned professional and a friend. My mom picked it up too. Great book.

While this book gets negative points in the style/visual aid department, it does offer a plan for getting your wedding together in half a year. I used this while planning my own wedding, and honestly, I can't believe people spend entire years planning them.

This has all the info you need (including negotiating some of the stickier points) and will have you well on your way to the altar.
