This review is from: Planning and Directing a Wedding: Guidelines for a Bride, Mother, and Director (Paperback)

I purchased this book because we were conducting the wedding ceremony ourselves, without the help of a consultant or wedding director. Although this little book does offer brief advice on many aspects of planning a wedding, it focuses mostly on the arrangements of bridal party and the formal church wedding ceremony. Any bride who has purchased a wedding planning book will have all this information, and in more detail. In the Author's Note's, she describes one purpose of the book as "[to] give a wedding committee member a method on how to direct". That might be the most useful purpose for this book.

I have looked in several book stores for a book that would give me the guidance I felt I needed to tackle directing a wedding and found nothing. Finding "Planning and Directing a Wedding" has saved the day for me. It has answered almost all of my questions in a clear, easy to follow, organized way. I especially like the fact that it comes from the actual experiences of the author.

It wasnt exaclty what I was looking for to start my own wedding consultant business, but I did like the organization skills it teaches you. I liked the examples they used for keeping track of everything, I wouldnt have thought about that myself. It is very good if you are planning your own wedding.
