This review is from: Stylish Weddings for Less: How to Plan Your Dream Wedding on a Budget (Paperback)

This book has glossy pages full of pictures. The pages have 2-3 pictures on each page, with text around the pictures. The style is a lot like a magazine. The beginning of the book has five profiles about different couples who spent various amounts on their weddings. After the profiles, the book is broken down into sections about how to save money on various aspects of the wedding, like the dress, the food, the venue, etc.

I love the pictures in this book. Also, the beginning of the book analyzes ifferent lower-budget weddings to see how much they spent and on which items they spent. I think that the tips are pretty good. I mostly like the profiles at the beginning of the book and the pictures.
