Beautiful and inspiring! Great ideas not only for weddings but for personalizing dinner parties and other social get togethers. A bit pricey but delivers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Consistent Excellence, March 12, 2007
Different from Cowie's first tutorial/pictorial (Colin Cowie Weddings), this book reflects more intently on all the sensational details that soar beyond simple "weddings" to absolutely luminary nuptial celebrations. Like his first book, a wealth of extraordinary photos showcasing his incredible eye for detail & distinction. An essential resource for all the bells & whistles...or just to dream!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutly stunning!!!!!, May 9, 2007
By Jules (Ansonia, OH United States) - See all my reviews

This gorgeous hot pink book has everything for a fantasy wedding. True inspiration for making this event unforgetible. Everything in details. I like the way Colin Cowie helps to choose theme first and add personal characteristics of bride and groom, their culture, favorite flowers, colors and food. This book absolutly worth it to buy and would be useful for any big event.
