Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Wedding planners are a perennial for public libraries, which should buy new ones periodically to keep up with current trends. Two of these three would be good choices if your copy of Martha Stewart's Weddings (Crown, 1987) is wearing out. Both Weddings and The Perfect Wedding present the requisite gorgeous photos, planning timetable, and suggestions for choosing and working with florists, caterers, and the rest of the myriad support services these events entail. McBride-Mellinger (The Wedding Dress, Random, 1993) takes a slightly more traditional stance, while Clark (Wedding Memories, Wilshire, 1990) shows what can be done with Western, nautical, Victorian, or Renaissance themes, in addition to the more traditional weddings. McBride-Mellinger's book is somewhat easier to use for actual planning, while Clark's is more of a wishbook for style. McBride-Mellinger's resource directory is particularly well done. Costa, who has written for Redbook and Working Woman, looks at the traditional weddings of China, Japan, and Korea and also offers suggestions for blending these customs with Occidental styles. Menus and recipes are included, along with an excellent resource list for supplies and for further information. All three titles will be useful to public libraries, and Costa's is very highly recommended for those serving Asian American populations.?Susan B. Hagloch, Tuscarawas Cty.
