5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful book for the truly romantic bride!, February 1, 1999

This book is not only beautifully laid-out, with lovely photos by John Dolan, but it's useful! It makes wedding planning simple and organized - at a time when emotions can take over. Use the charts and then take time to appreciate the fine craft of the subtle tones in the photos to catch the moments of peace and grace in an important day.

5.0 out of 5 stars This planner made planning enjoyable!, October 15, 1999

This review is from: The Wedding Planner (Getting Hitched) (Spiral-bound)

My best friend gave me this planner as a gift when she learned I was engaged. I was so delighted with the beauty of the pictures and layout that it made me happy just to thumb through it. It was helpful as an organizer (especially for a not-too-organized person). But the thing I loved about it the most was the style of the photography. I am in love with black-and-white photograpy, and I knew that I wanted the pictures of my wedding to be different than the typical, cliche photographs. This book inspired the style of my photographs,and they came out to be breathtaking images that I have received numerous compliments on. My brother is proposing to his girlfriend soon, and I plan to order this book for her.

This book is beautifully designed and laid out. But this does not work best for actually planning out a wedding. It works best as a wedding keepsake - similar to those baby books. It only leaves room for absolute notes. You should already know the location, the date, the dress, etc. by the time you make any notes in this book. If you are still searching for locations, caters, the bridal dress, etc. and you would like to make notes on the various places - you can't with this book. Yes, they leave room for "notes" but that becomes very disorganize. You only have room for ONE name/address for each important category. I'm still glad I bought it but I will still need to buy another real PLANNER. This book, however, is conveniently spiral bound and with a beautiful hardbound cover. Sections are divided with 6 tabs (very helpful). A single slightly-expandable pocket in the back to add extra items. Although no calendar - it does break things down with a "to do" list in a monthly planner and a space for your own to do list. In a place marked "vital information" it has just that. You can write the name, address, contact, phone, etc. of the ceremony, officiant, photographer and anyone else you can think of that are needed for your wedding. This IS a wonderful, beautiful and HELPFUL wedding book - I just warn that this is only for those who already know mostly everything about their wedding plans.
