This book provided me with tons of inspiration as I planned my own wedding. The hundreds of ideas got my creative juices flowing and we had an incredible wedding that just blew out guests away. Some of her ideas we adapted right out of the book and others we used as a starting point as we adjusted the ideas to suit our own wedding style (and budget.) Some have claimed that her ideas are too expensive for brides today, but they can really be adapted to suit any budget. I used this book for my wedding and I gave it to my two sisters when they got married (no-I did not lend them my copy - it is sitting on my coffee table!)You must not miss this book!

There is a reason this book is shrink-wrapped - to prevent you from finding out that most of the photos are from the 1980's. The pictures in here are like travelling in a time warp. Anyone planning a wedding today would find limited fodder for inspiration, given the fact that the highlighted weddings are 10 years old. The text is OK, but not very creative. I found myself double checking the publication date to see if it said 1986 instead of 1996. Definitely not worth the high price. Colin Cowie's book is much more current and beautiful.

Beverly Clark shares so many wonderful ideas that can be adapted to suit even the modest budget like ours. We did it! Cake ideas, candles, table setting, flowers, even the butterfies and used several of the products she has created. Everyone was really impressed and thought we had hired a wedding consultant.

As a floral designer and wedding planner, I find this book inspirational, beautiful and full of information and ideas. Most of my bride's mothers end up buying it. It is a classic wedding book. With so many pictures, it makes it easy to illustrate an idea or a point.

this book is a very wealthy source of fresh ideas and wedding arrangements tips. i think that it's a must read for every bride.

This book is a bride's mecca for visual quality. I own both this book and Colin Cowie's and both are equally stunning; yes, some of Clark's pictures are dated, but by no more than 5 years - the wedding industry has changed dramatically. She has modern invitation suggestions, awesome pictorials of reception venues, and overall, it's an interesting book to flip through. I recommend this book and Colin Cowie's for the most ideas on weddings in the 90's (Clark commands the first half, Cowie commands the second).

I found this book incredible! The photographs are spectacular and I got lots of great ideas for my own wedding from this book. All my friends want to borrow it! It's up-to-date with useful tips that fit into anyone's budget. I recommend this book to anyone who is getting married and wants to actually see photographs of real weddings. From what I understand, these photos are very current. There's a great resource directory in the back. I actually called several people and spoke with them about their services. They were fabulous!

her book is full of posh weddings that are out of reach for the majority of couples. As a professional wedding consultant, I will not ever have this book available for reference
