5.0 out of 5 stars A Bride's Best Friend, January 8, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Secretly Chic: The Wedding Planner (Ring-bound)

The Secretly Chic wedding planner has been a life saver for me. I got engaged in September and felt completely clueless as to how to start organizing this huge event. A friend of mine gave me the Secretly Chic planner as an engagement present, and it has answered all my questions.

This book not only lays out a timeline of when to get everything accomplished by, but it also has separate sections focusing on the gown; the bridesmaids; the music; the invitations; etc.

Since I got engaged, I have come across a lot of different wedding planning books. Secretly Chic is the only one I've found that has all the information I need in one place, along with helpful hints that I would never have thought of. While many wedding planning books are extremely out of date, Secretly Chic is definitely geared towards today's brides and today's weddings.

I started off feeling clueless on how to plan this wedding. Thanks to Secretly Chic, I'm happy to say that I feel like a subject matter expert now.

If you are getting married, you can't do without it!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Secret to Planning a Successful Wedding, November 1, 2003

The Secretly Chic Wedding Planner was the perfect tool to help me plan my wedding. My husband and I got married last summer, and we only had six months to plan. Without this planner, I don't think we could have gotten it all together.

I loved the way the checklists had a double function as folders. It was so easy to slip ideas from magazines, invitation samples, and receipts into the folders. I never had to wonder what I did with a phone number or a confirmation number because all the information I needed was tucked safely away into the folders (which, by the way, are in a darling zebra print design!). Also, the timeline was lifesaver! There are so many details to handle when you plan a wedding, and the timeline really keeps you on track.

The Secretly Chic Wedding Planner truly takes the stress out of planning a wedding because if you simply follow its lead, you won't forget anything and you'll be ahead of the game when your special day arrives. The Secretly Chic Wedding Planner is a must for every modern bride - I've already given it as a gift to two bride-to-be friends!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best wedding planner out there!!!, May 7, 2004

This review is from: Secretly Chic: The Wedding Planner (Ring-bound)

3 months ago I was looking for a wedding planner for my upcoming wedding in September. Many of the planners I found were not helpful at all. For instance, ones like "the knot" have no information in them that you can't get free from their online site (theknot.com). Other planners get you started 2 years ahead of time, but my engagement was only going to be 7 months long so I didn't need a book that started back that far.

Secretly chic is the best wedding planner out there. I now carry it everywhere. It has everything that you need in a planner, from budget to vendors to timeline (which starts at 6-12 months prior to the wedding). What I like the most about it, is that it has all of its information separated into pages that also double as folders. I find myself printing info off the internet or ripping pages from magazines, and storing it in the appropriate section of the planner. It has been extremely useful to be able to keep everything consolidated in one big binder-type book. No other planner I have found was as good as helping you get all the information together in a neat, orderly fashion. Good luck with your wedding!!!
