Want your wedding to be unique and personal?,
By
This review is from: Priceless Weddings for Under $5,000 (Paperback)
This is not the book for you if you want to invite 500 people and to have a wedding that looks like every other wedding you've ever attended. This is a GREAT book, however, for those independent-minded couples who want a wedding that is more interesting and personal than the ones the bride magazines try to sell you. There are great ideas for creating a wedding that reflects who you are as people. No cookie-cutter weddings here. Just beautiful, original ideas to help you create an event that truly reflects your life and your love.

Never let ANYONE other than a WEDDING pro take your pictures,
By "burbankmissy" (Burbank, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Priceless Weddings for Under $5,000 (Paperback)
Even if you have a cousin Billy who is going to photography school, don't let anyone besides a photographer with a lot of wedding experience take your pictures.I am a non-wedding photographer, and no matter what anyone tells you weddings are hard. I have taken wedding photos for friends and other people who just "needed someone" or "wanted to save some money." Even though I'm a pretty good photographer, weddings are a like no other photography job on earth...the families, the rushing, the stress. I know that my photos weren't just as good as the expensive pros. Trust me, you want someone who has experience with that kind of pressure. You spent the money on the wedding, don't skimp on preserving those memories. It's not worth it. There's a reason why really good wedding photographers cost so much!

Not for the First Time Bride,
By A Customer
This review is from: Priceless Weddings for Under $5,000 (Paperback)
When I thumbed through this book at the local book store I thought it was going to be really helpful. I liked the fact that it had detailed wedding plans and budgets. However, after I got it home and began reading it I realized that it wasn't worth the paper it was printed on. All the wedding's featured where low-key second weddings. None of the weddings were the traditional dream I was planning.I guess it's an ok book if you are planning a second wedding but it will not help the first time bride looking for all the frills.
