I enjoy books that give you ALL the information that you need to complete a project. I look for details and instructions that truly explain, and not just gloss over, the knowledge base necessary. This reference guide will not disappoint you; actually, this guide will inspire you to have the ability to do it all! The subject matter is complete! There is not a area which has not gone uncovered. You have a wonderful encyclopedia of information that covers everything from the simplest of wedding concerns to the most detailed. This is most evident with the cakes chapter; if you are unable to explain to your caterer or baker, or even to yourself, how to do this, then I don’t where else to send you for information. The photography is crystal clear, which is another trademark of the perfection of the Martha Stewart empire. Her motto is “everything has to be perfect” and it is. I have yet to be disappointed in any of her publications and I doubt I ever will. So attention all brides, hope-to-be brides, caterers, bakers, florists, and anybody else with an appreciation for a good book; this is something that will inspire you and once again, give you pause to pay homage to the queen.

I debated buying this book for a few months. After all, I’m pretty creative and artistic, so could a book (an expensive one at that) really have that many new ideas? But I must admit, from the moment I picked it up, I was impressed. Elegantly bound, with thick, quality paper pages and stunning photography, it is a pleasure to simply thumb through… but for those planning a wedding, it is pure gold! Complete with ideas for almost every part of the wedding, recipes, detailed instructions… it even has a timeline wedding planner, music list and other helpful resources. I am so glad I finally gave it a place on my shelf… my only regret is that I can’t afford to buy a copy for each of my bridesmaids as well!

Beautiful and inspiring, this book is full of great ideas. A must have for the bride-to-be, or even a young lady just dreaming of her future wedding. Pages 23-95 primarily focuses on the use of flowers for decorations, the bouquet, the boutonniere– beautifully simple and practical enough for you to request to your florist. Though flowers are adorned throughout the book, candles, wedding cakes, invitations; details of a fantasy wedding are all attended to. This book is filled with many gorgeous pictures! My fiancé bought it for me for our Anniversary and I can’t put it down. It really is a must have.

For someone who has just gotten engaged and is trying to visualize what kind of wedding she wants, the pictures in this book just might inspire her. This book does a decent job of bringing little-girl fairy-tale wedding dreams to reality. The photographs are clear enough to really see how those painstaking special touches might be made, and there are plenty of those special touches throughout the book. A bride who is actually planning the wedding of her dreams will probably not benefit from this high-priced purchase. As eye-pleasing as the book is with the details, it is lacking in explaining the overall planning and organization that is crucial in planning even a small wedding. Don’t buy this book if you are tight on cash (as most are who are getting married) and need to actually plan your wedding. You’re better off buying the Martha Stewart Living Weddings magazine (around five bucks) for inspiration and a decent wedding planning book to make your wedding happen.

We selected this book for my niece’s wedding because in our opinion it is the most helpful one out there – better than Maria McBride, better than Colin Cowie, better than Vera Wang. These other books are terrific eye candy, but there is no way the average America family can afford spend the kind of money it would take to pull off their themes [millionaires and movie stars, maybe - not the average bride and groom]. Martha’s ideas and suggestions are stunningly simply, beautiful, classy, affordable and very doable. I recommend this book highly.
