Book Description

February 1, 2005
Every bride, no matter what her budget, can make her wish for a magical, fairy tale wedding come true. All it takes are these original, elegant plans and projects for personalizing that special day without spending a fortune. Brides-to-be can choose from four different styles, all gloriously illustrated on breathtaking pages: Modern Romance, Country Charm, Vintage Traditions, and Champagne Taste. Every item is amazingly simple to make, demanding only the most basic skills, and products easily found at retail crafts stores. "Save the Date" cards and invitations, favors, decorations, flower arrangements and bouquets, table settings, wedding veils, boutonnieres, and luscious cakes--they're all here, and all so lovely. In addition, smart boxed "bride ideas" are sprinkled throughout.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Cost-conscious brides will appreciate this well-organized and often motivational guide from Risling, who shares crafty tips-many drawn from her own experiences as a bride-on how to create romantic weddings with limited resources. She recommends that readers first define their personal styles, budgets and time frames, all of which will dictate where and how costs should be cut. Each chapter focuses on a different wedding style, from "Modern Romance" to "Country Charm," but readers will find that these themes can be easily intertwined and altered to fit their individual preferences. Sprinkled throughout are craft ideas for items like headband veils and napkin rings, complete with step-by-step instructions. A color photograph accompanies each project, illuminating Risling's point that thrifty, homemade items can be elegant. Though the book lacks any mention of cost or how much one could save by fashioning their own invitations and wedding favors, this is a minor flaw in an otherwise helpful, lavishly illustrated book.
