As a bride to be, it is easy to be overwhelmed by all the books, magazines, and websites.If you're a list maker like I am, and need to streamline everything down to the basics so as not to be all over the place-- this is the only book you will need.It's a tiny book, but packed with only the necessary information you need to plan your wedding from start to finish.
First off - I love TheKnot.com! It is such a great wedding planning site. So this book is just a great addition to anyone planning a wedding using the website. This book is amazing, because it has every checklist from the website written down into one handy, portable book. There is even space on the sides of each page to make little notes.So far I've read through the entire book and am now back at the start because I am actively using the chapters in regards to picking and booking the ceremony site and reception site. The greatest thing was the ability to take the book with me and have all the questions right there with me that I needed to remember to ask and have a place to jot down the answers.There are tick boxes beside the checklists that you can tick off as you go. There are also some really great tips in each section such as wedding dress styles, bouquet styles with little pictures, references to the most common cake glossary like butter cream vs. fondant icing. And there are quirky little tidbits of info or history regarding wedding traditions.I would totally recommend this book to brides who love making lists and who need to have things right at their fingertips. I personally love checklists and to do lists, so this book is perfect for me. I currently have little sticky flags on the chapters I am using, post it notes with info inside each section and I've definitely used the notes section inside as well.
This book is great but you have to get it in the very early stages of your planning or you will find that many of the chapters are not useful but I did get a lot out of it and it reminded me of some things I had totally not thought about.
Cute, useful book if you have no idea what you're doing at all! The "lists" it gives are not helpful unless you want to know simple stuff. For example, it has an entire chapter of how to chose a color theme. It just gives you blank space to put colors you like. There's not pictures of colors that look good together, or how to use complementary color scheme, etc. It doesn't give advice I know that stuff already, I need help with flowers, and colors, or dresses. I thought this book was going to be a list of things that many brides forget. Not helpful at all!
I bought an entire library of wedding planning books during our 18 month engagement. This is one of 2 books that I was actually still referring to the week of our wedding. I loved the lists - and I used this book to keep me on track. I wrote lots of little notes of my own in the book as we were making decisions along the way. The book has kind of become a wedding planning keepsake, and I buy it for friends who are newly engaged as a gift.
I started planning my wedding in the most unstructured way and had no idea how to get things in order. I was just about to give up and elope when I decided to buy a wedding planning guide and I am so glad it was this one. I was already using theknot.com website and tools for some of my planning but the many aspects of a wedding just overwhelmed me at times and this book was a wonderful tool to keep things in order. It's a small book that you can carry with you pretty much anywhere (I did) and is broken into the different parts of a wedding. It organizes into checklists the information and tasks that need to be coordinated and includes explanations of anything that may not be immediately understandable (wedding gown cuts and train lengths, different types of bouquets). It incorporates and provides suggestions for all different types of ceremonies and receptions from very religious to civil ceremonies and intimate receptions to black-tie affairs. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has decided to plan their own wedding!
Great book but a repeat if you have the wedding planning book by the knot. Also, an all in one source of info.
I really liked this book because it's just a list of everything to plan and consider right at your fingertips. I found all the other books to be very cheesy while this one allows you to put your own personality and touch to your wedding day.
