I just got engaged and started buying books to plan my wedding and this is a really good book to keep you from feeling overwhelmed! It isn't really about how to put together a cheeper but nice wedding. It is more informational. There are quite a few different sections and within those sections there are tips for picking out the right dress through the estimated cost of catering, photography, videography, and more.

If you are going for organization and information to keep you from feeling overwhelmed, buy this book! Buy another book if you want information on planning a wedding on a small budget.

My daughter received three different wedding guides for Christmas, and after reviewing all of them, she decided to keep this one because she thought it was the most comprehensive and organized. Eventually, she received two additional copies of this book because other people (one a wedding planner) thought that this was the best book available. I think the pockets are handy for organizing receipts, and the planning and ideas presented reflect realistic scenarios.

Kinda a cheat for me is that I work for an event company. But this book was a big help keeping me on my time table. A must have for any bride that has no idea where to start.

This planner has been the best. Since I am planning my big day to be in sunny Florida and I live in North Carolina, the size of the planner has been great to travel with and fits perfect in a pocketbook or your briefcase so you have it at work. All of the sections are very helpful...especially the flowers section. My florist sent me some ideas about flowers and I had no one what some looked like...but they were all in the flower section. In addition to all of this, my fiance loved the planner as well--BONUS!!!

so many ideas, so much to do and so smoothly it can be done;) great book.

This book is far from Ultimate! The authors of this "guide" assume that a)you've never been to a wedding b)you must have a super-traditional wedding, and c) you have all the time in the world to fill out page after page of worksheets. You can tell a wedding coordinator wrote this book, because they imply in several places that you simply must hire a professional coordinator because you know nothing about weddings and they know everything. They also suggest that the best way to cut down on a the dress cost is to find someone getting married the same year and share a dress!! Seriously? This book is not for the modern bride.

I received my book in timely fashion and was very happy with it.
