5.0 out of 5 stars
Great start to planning your wedding... or a great reality check if you are already planning,
This review is from: Real Simple Weddings, 2008 Issue (Single Issue Magazine)
While this isn't going to be your ultimate wedding source book, the magazine is great! It presents information needed without overwhelming or assuming you have a $100,000 budget to work with (it also doesn't rule out those people who do have a $100,000 budget either).
I thought it would be no big deal to plan a small wedding, but then my budget started to spiral out of control and I was freaking out over details. Then I found an ad for "Real Simple Weddings" in a current issue of "Real Simple", and now everything is fine! Instead of overwhelming me like other books and magazines, "Real Simple Weddings" reminded me that there is no "right" way to do things and that I don't have to do everything suggested. It lays out what needs to be taken care of, but also what is just fluff and can be tossed aside if not important to the couple or if it isn't in the budget. Don't buy this magazine thinking it is going to be like other bridal magazines. The only advertisement you will find in this magazine is for Crate and Barrel at the start of every chapter (yes, chapters!). This magazine is formated like a book (with an index!!), and I find it to have more valuable information than most wedding planning books. There is a wedding dress guide, flower guide sorted by color and season, pictures, wedding day details, real couple storied, info on about everything a wedding needs, and every chapter ends with a "question and answer" section. Buy this magazine if you are just starting to plan your wedding, or you are in a much needed reality check. I don't regret the money spent on this magazine. By far it has been my best wedding book/magazine purchase! and i have bought A LOT of them.

One of the better mags,
By Synic (Honolulu HI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Real Simple Weddings, 2008 Issue (Single Issue Magazine)
I subscribe to Real Simple and always find it chock full of good, useful, and more importantly, DOABLE things/information. So when I saw RS Weddings I picked up a copy, despite the hefty $13 tag, to help me plan my wedding.
Like the regular RS mag, this one is full of great info and will be especially useful if you are planning on doing a lot of the wedding planning work yourself, or you're DIYing some of the basic stuff (invites, favors). It got me thinking about issues I would not have thought about. A good read along with Bride mag if you're in the planning stages and looking for ideas. The price was a bit steep and the wedding section of their website could be better designed or more interactive (like The Knot). All in all, not bad and would recommend.
