A Wedding Planning Bible,
By
This review is from: Bridal Bargains: Secrets to Throwing a Fantastic Wedding on a Realistic Budget (Paperback)
As an event planner since the 80's, I've been aware of Denise & Alan Field's book for quite some time. The newest edition is just as useful now as their first one was years ago.Long, long ago ... before the Internet ... planning your wedding was a local endeavor where you were at the mercy of Bridal Show exhibitors. If you were lucky, you could get truthful information from couples who'd already gone through the process. If you were lucky. Bridal Bargains took the secrecy out of wedding planning and exposed it to the light of common sense and economic forces. This book is the first one I recommend to the wedding planning classes I teach, the first one I used myself, and the most comprehensive I've found to date. Now they've added a plethora of web site addresses. Yes, web sites come and go, but an afternoon spent flipping through the book and trying various sites (and I compared them with a few other books who provide web address information) found this book to have the highest number of 'live' addresses. When time is at a premium, this is an important factor. I noticed that a previous reviewer wasn't happy with the amount of the book dedicated to buying a wedding dress. I can certainly understand that, but with the majority of brides purchasing from bridal shops, discounters, and major manufacturers, this information needs to be exhaustive. In the 22 years I've been 'doing' weddings, I have had less than 15 brides have dresses specially made for them, perhaps another 12 who wore suits or a dress not designated as 'bridal', and maybe 9 who wore a dress belonging to a Mom, Grandmother, or other family member. Denise & Alan's emphasis on dress manufacturers reflects the reality of the market. All in all, this is a book well worth the price. Use it and save yourself time, money, and stress.

It was Okay,
This review is from: Bridal Bargains: Secrets to Throwing a Fantastic Wedding on a Realistic Budget (Paperback)
I've read a lot of these books. Each one seems to have a few usable ideas. For the money, this one is the best I've found, since it offers more specifics on exactly where to shop online, etc. Any bride with an ounce of logic gets the idea before buying the book: "shop around for the best prices and service", "get it in writing down to the last detail", and "you may have to sacrifice on certain, unimportant things to stay within your budget". Not sure I needed the book to tell me that. I already know where eBay is, and know how to find creative ideas online. It's not a bad book if you're completely lost and don't know how to surf the internet.

The wedding planning bible!,

This review is from: Bridal Bargains: Secrets to Throwing a Fantastic Wedding on a Realistic Budget (Paperback)
Ok ladies. Getting married? This is pretty much the ONLY book you'll be needing. I happened upon this book at a book store one evening, and I bought it right away... one of the best wedding-related purchases I made. This book covers just about everything you'll need to know to plan a fabulous wedding that costs you a lot less. It is well laid out and easy to follow. These guys know ALL the tricks of the trade, providing insightful information regarding ways to save money, pitfalls to avoid, wedding dress directory, useful websites and much, much more! Being from Canada, I also appreciated the Canadian section that was included. My wedding turned out wonderfully, and I have to say this book saved me a TON of money!!This book is small and compact, easily fitting inside your purse or pocketbook. Ladies, don't get caught up in the hype! You don't need to purchase dozens of planning books. In my opinion, this is all you'll really need!
