5.0 out of 5 stars The only book I needed to plan my wedding... June 22, 2009

By Anne

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

As a bride to be, it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the books, magazines, and websites.

If you're a list maker like I am, and need to streamline everything down to the basics so as not to be all over the place-- this is the only book you will need.

It's a tiny book, but packed with only the necessary information you need to plan your wedding from start to finish.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Book January 25, 2011

By Snape Snogger

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is great but you have to get it in the very early stages of your planning or you will find that many of the chapters are not useful but I did get a lot out of it and it reminded me of some things I had totally not thought about.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nuts & Bolts without the Cheese September 8, 2010

By Denise at Hello, Moxie!

Format:Paperback

I really liked this book because it's just a list of everything to plan and consider right at your fingertips. I found all the other books to be very cheesy while this one allows you to put your own personality and touch to your wedding day.

5.0 out of 5 stars Straight to the point wedding planning! April 28, 2011

By .

Format:Paperback

Other reviews say that the info in this book can be found on the internet, and that is true... and it's also true about ANY wedding planning book. You can find everything about anything on the web. I looked at probably 20 different books and this was by far the best, must-have planning book for me.

I absolutely love this book - it's straight to the point, no fluff, and gives you all the information you need from start to finish. I love my lists and needed something I can physically carry around with me (instead of the online checklists), and it's nice to just flip to the page I need and check things off as I go. Awesome book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful but not particularly useful July 13, 2010

By Budderfly

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

The book did help me organize a few details but overall it didn't be of much use to me. It's mostly for brides to be who are starting from the beginning. I bought the book 5 months into planning and found I didn't really need the book as I thought. Though it did provide some useful information it also provided alot of information that didn't pertain to my wedding plans. I would reccomend this book to the future brides who are just starting to plan. If you're already months into the planning, I suggest you shouldn't buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars you cannot be without this book! April 15, 2011

By Chrystal (Snowdrop)

Format:Paperback

First off - I love TheKnot.com! It is such a great wedding planning site. So this book is just a great addition to anyone planning a wedding using the website. This book is amazing, because it has every checklist from the website written down into one handy, portable book. There is even space on the sides of each page to make little notes.

So far I've read through the entire book and am now back at the start because I am actively using the chapters in regards to picking and booking the ceremony site and reception site. The greatest thing was the ability to take the book with me and have all the questions right there with me that I needed to remember to ask and have a place to jot down the answers.

There are tick boxes beside the checklists that you can tick off as you go. There are also some really great tips in each section such as wedding dress styles, bouquet styles with little pictures, references to the most common cake glossary like butter cream vs. fondant icing. And there are quirky little tidbits of info or history regarding wedding traditions.

I would totally recommend this book to brides who love making lists and who need to have things right at their fingertips. I personally love checklists and to do lists, so this book is perfect for me. I currently have little sticky flags on the chapters I am using, post it notes with info inside each section and I've definitely used the notes section inside as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing content. March 25, 2012

By Tux

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

I am a huge fan of the knot online and was really looking forward to a great book full of useful tips and thoughtful content.
Unfortunately this book is full of common sense tips and lists that anyone could figure out for themselves by doing a few minutes of googling.
I am deeply disappointed and will be returning this book.
I also purchased another book called "A Practical Wedding" that I've found much much more helpful. Especially for anyone trying to plan a wedding on a tight budget I'd recommend you skip the Knot's list book and purchase "A Practical Wedding" instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars not very useful December 3, 2012

By Nicole Del Gaizo

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This book is only good if you never look at the wedding websites or internet in general. I found the checklists to not be detailed enough and the book is tiny so you can't really write in it very much
