5.0 out of 5 stars Great Wedding Tips!, April 29, 2010

By	Jill Buschmann (Plymouth, MN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Budget Weddings For Dummies (Paperback)

I really enjoyed this book! Many of us know how expensive putting on a wedding can be and this book has so many good ideas on how to cut those costs, I wish it had come out before my wedding! However, having attended the author's budget wedding, I know these suggestions truly can result in a beautiful ceremony. I never would have known they were on a tight budget, having personally seen how well they stretched their dollars.

The book is full of tips for saving money on everything involved in a wedding and there is a great chapter on how to establish a budget and stick to it. I highly recommend this book.
