About the Author
Stephanie Rosenbaum lives in San Francisco and is a regular contributor to the Bay Guardian and San Francisco Magazine.
Most of the wedding guides we've seen assume you'll get engaged at least a year before your wedding date and that you'll happily spend every spare minute of those twelve months interviewing caterers and going to bridal salons. Read the first page

Not Anti Bride,
By Elizabeth (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anti-Bride Guide: Tying the Knot Outside of the Box (Spiral-bound)
This would not be a bad wedding guide if it didn't claim to be different. It is, generally, about the same as the others I've read. The most "anti" theme is the book is that you don't have to do what your family wants you to. But, there is plenty of discussion of etiquette, what to do, what not to do, etc. Sure there are a few nice ideas, but all bridal guides tend to have a few nice ideas. I was looking for a book that could really assist me in having a wedding that is *different.* I wanted something to help me get past all that brainwashing about what a wedding looks like. This book, instead, offers slightly alternative-ish ideas about how you might adjust existing traditions and how you don't have to listen to all your family. Not a bad wedding book, but just doesn't live up to being anything that different from what is already out there.

Terrific Book for the Unique Bride,
By akasha_in_nyc "akasha_in_nyc" (Jersey City, NJ United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Anti-Bride Guide: Tying the Knot Outside of the Box (Spiral-bound)
The title is the key. Anti-Bride doesn't mean you are against marriage. However, it means you aren't looking to do everything in a traditional style.It gives ideas on ways to approach the wedding that are unique. It discusses different couples approaches to their wedding ranging from theme weddings to casual settings. It is all about making your wedding meaningful to you. I believe the book could use to be longer and more indepth. And note, this isn't a how-to book. It is about creating the wedding you want.

Anti-bride, but not anti-beautiful wedding of your dreams,
This review is from: Anti-Bride Guide: Tying the Knot Outside of the Box (Spiral-bound)
This is a great choice for the bride to be who is concerned less with matching flowers to bridesmaid's dresses and more of having a beautiful and wonderful day to remember as you start your new life together. It is full of quirky and just plain wonderful ideas on creating the wedding of your dreams without sacrificing your own sense of style. Like the best tradional wedding planners, it has pockets to keep vital paper slips in, and the last chapter of the book is complete with just enough lists to keep vital info in one place, but not so many as to stress you out. The best part of this book by far is that it assumes that you are not going to stop living the rest of your life just to plan a wedding and that you would love the input of the groom to be because duh, he's getting married here too. The authors keep the tone lighthearted, take into account all the different kinds of couples and situations out there, and don't belittle you if your dream wedding is to go the whole Martha route. They focus less on how to cut corners, and more on making sure that you remember to incorporate the aspects of the ceremony that are the most important to you (even if that is only that you will wear a tiara). Everything else is just icing. Definitely worth it if only to destress after reading the other bridal books.
