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 While many wedding planning books are extremely out of date, Secretly Chic is definitely geared towards today's brides and today's weddings.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!

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!

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!!!

I received this planner as a gift and I loved it from the minute I got it. I had looked and looked for the perfect planner and couldn't find it. I had settled on 2 other planners before I got this one, but I got rid of them. This is the Perfect Planner!! A few of the reasons I loved it was because of the folders, the 3 ring binder, the timeline, the budget, the weight, the master contact list and the size. The folders are extra large to fit a normal sheet of paper-with my other planners I was having to cut or fold the pages to fit into the pockets. I can slide in all my contracts, bids, proposals, pictures, etc... The timeline is great!! It starts at what needs to be done before 6 months all the way down to the day of the wedding. I carried this planner with me everyday for 6 months and I loved that it didn't contain a lot of wasted space, pictures, & ideas. My 2 previous planners had lots of outdated ideas and pictures of people that I didn't know, this just added to the weight. The master contact list was perfect. It is at the beginning of the planner, and makes it easy for you to find all your numbers at a glance. I have gotten this planner as gifts for my friends and they all love it! It makes the perfect engagement gift. It's a must if you are a bride to be!!

First off, this book has it's own website: http://www.secretlychic.com (go figure!). It has a table of contents so you can see what it all has and there is other stuff you can order -- but be sure to buy the book here, because it $39.99 off their website!!! Now, about the planner, it didn't have as much stuff in it as I have seen in other books - which I LOVED!!!! Most binder-planners are packed with ideas and suggestions, but I didn't want all that in my planner. I just wanted a place to store everything in one place. Other binders are so full with the stuff they put in there that you can't add anything else, but this binder leaves lots of room for you to add anything else you need. This book has checklists, top-loading folders to hold important papers, and has a really different and nice decorative style. It is silver on the outside, a reddish/pink on the inside, and all the papers are white with a zebra-print border. I know its sounds loud, but it's not, it's really trendy!!! I love how it doesn't scream "I'm a Bride-to-Be" with pastel colors. All in all, I think this is the best book I have bought so far (and I've bought 6 books and looked at MANY more!) This is a MUST for ANY bride to be!!!

I highly recommend this planner! I bought it to use to help me plan my wedding this summer and now I'm buying it for a friend. It's straight forward --it doesn't contain a lot of information that I don't need. The pockets are also very helpful. I like that it doesn't weigh that much because I carry it with me almost everywhere I go, and I like its elegant, yet fun cover.

I received this wedding book as a gift and it is absolutely the best gift I could have received! It has everything from budget to timeline to an individual page for the bride, the wedding party and each vendor! You can't forget anything because it is all laid out! And perfect pockets that fit anything-all those great magazine ideas! I have gotten compliments from so many people! Secretly Chic is definitely the way to go!

Okay, girls... Let's face it, your wedding is the most anticipated event of your life! I know, I've spent the last year planning mine. It's going to get stressful at times, but if you stay well organized, you can pull it off without an expensive wedding coordinator! The Secretly Chic wedding planner never left my side! I carried it to all my important meetings with caterers, florists, cake decorators, photographers...etc. The Secretly Chic planner contains tips, organizers (with pockets!!), advice (money saving ideas), budget tracker, check lists (down to the wedding day). It has everything you could possibly need and it's stylish! I got compliments on mine all the time. I recommended it to many new brides! There's no way you can keep up with every little detail from bridesmaid dress sizes, shoe sizes, addresses, rental costs, contracts..etc. You HAVE to HAVE this planner!! The Secretly Chic planner will make your planning so much smoother and your life a whole lot easier, so do it for yourself! Let someone else handle the stress. After all, you're the bride! Enjoy every minute of it!!

I think this wedding planner saved my life during the whole wedding process. It kept me organized and structured. I was able to pull anything out of it any time I needed anything and it had a pocket and category for everything. I enjoyed having it as an organizer. It is only a plus that it is so fashionable, also!!! Overall, it is a great planner!!

Secretly Chic: The Wedding Planner is an extremely useful 3-ring wedding planner binder. Pages can be easily added or removed - and this binder includes oversized dividers with pockets that can hold contracts, brochures, magazine clippings, swatches, etc.

This planner includes a detailed budget and timeline that fold out for ease of use and functionality. Dividers include: The Bride, The Wedding Party, The Vendors (with folders for each of your wedding vendors), Showers and Celebrations, Registry, The Honeymoon.

A great wedding planner that allows for expansion as your wedding plans become more complex. The best way to stay organized in your busy months ahead. Also makes a great gift for the bride-to-be.
