Customer Reviews

A great planner, but not alone
I've been planning for 4 months. I've looked at 15+ planners. I've bought 4. And I've found that this book, along with Martha Stewart's Wedding Planner as a companion, are the way to go. There is no one single planner out there that "has it all." Martha's planner is great because it has a 3 ring binder where you can add all your vendor contracts and your own pages. But this planner has some fun quizzes and inspiration for the unique bride. I have, use, and suggest, both together. It's a convenient size for carting around, and a fun read. This is a good planner, but I can't stress enough the importance of having a 3-ring binder planner for your vendor contracts also. You'll thank me later.

Not so anti, but somewhat helpful
If you are truly looking for completely unique ideas that defy what a bride and wedding should be, then the planner is not so great. While it is one of the more forward thinking books on the market for brides, I still felt like it was telling me to become a slave to the wedding industry.

If you are looking for a workbook to brainstorm ideas, it is great. It has a lot of free space, checklists, questions to ask, and pockets to hold stuff. You could however get the same tips and checklists from several bridal magazines or online and save youself the cost of the book.

The illustrations are adorable, but I was not crazy about the organization of the planner. If you are a super-organized person like myself, you will probably do better using a computer or notebook like I did. If you are not naturally organized, then this book will probably help give you some structure.

Don't listen to the nay sayers...
This book is great..it is not meant to be the only book you own to plan your wedding but it certainly has much of what I needed.
This book is first and formost an organizer and that is what I was loking for. It has some great tips and a nice setup to keep buisness cards, and other pieces of paper all in this one book. It has been invaluble so far. I bought this and the companion "Anti-Bride Etiquette Quide".
IF you want someone else to tell where to go and what to buy there are dozens of websites and magazines. I just wanted a book that can help me, a first time bride, know the ins and outs of weddings and what to do plan and organize the day! ANd this book is a great resource for that.
