This book doesn't talk much about how to save money for your wedding. It has a few good tips and ideas but nothing for low-budget weddings. It's more of a wedding planner, much like every other wedding book on the shelves. I'm glad I got it from the library rather than pay $14.95 for a useless book.

I think this is a better book for those wishing to learn the steps involved in planning a wedding. I would echo an earlier review that mentioned there not being too many tips on saving money. I think the most valuable parts of this book were the checklists and questions that are provided to you so that you know what types of things to be asking you vendors, caterers, etc.
