Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

A wedding consultant gives tips on everything from the proposal and prenuptial parties to the post-wedding period when couples struggle to write thank you notes, exchange duplicate gifts, and begin financial planning. Many brides will find her emphasis on handling stress and strategies for taking care of yourself beneficial. Muchnick even includes some comments on renewing vows, a topic ignored by many books. Though the ideas presented here are found in other guides (such as Robbi G.W. Earnst's more detailed Great Wedding Tips from the Experts, Lowell, 2000), this is fun to browse through, and readers will appreciate the straightforward, friendly tone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun, upbeat, clever, and useful!, January 18, 2002

This review is from: The Ultimate Wedding Idea Book: 1,001 Creative Ideas to Make Your Wedding Fun, Romantic, and Memorable (Paperback)

The author's experience as a wedding guest, attendant and expert came through in her words. While she does not pretend to be a self-proclaimed bridal consultant, Muchnick definitely knows her stuff and shares it with an upbeat tone and useful, easy-to-read ideas that any bride, mother of the bride or groom could easily benefit from. Even the most experienced wedding consultants can glean insight and an idea or two from her unique observations! A fun, must read for anyone involved in the wedding planning process. I hope you enjoy it is much as I did.

Even though this book wasn't the greatest it did have some good ideas. A lot of it, however, was common sense advice. The one thing I didn't care for is the section for grooms was only a few pages long, as if the grooms don't have more to do than what she listed. If any duties were mentioned for the groom in the beginning the duty was put onto the bride, i.e. she says for the bride to make sure the shoes fit comfortably on the groom. Stuff like that the groom, as an adult, can do himself. I don't recommend this book though. There's better ones out there.

This is a terrific book - very well organized and easy to read. The author has a light, fun tone and the book is packed with wonderful and original wedding ideas. This is the book you need to read if you want to add a special personal touch to your wedding day. It has great ideas for traditional and non-traditional weddings and brides on a budget will appreciate the many ideas for special touches that don't cost a fortune. I highly recommend this book.
