Oof. So much twine. And sticks. And somehow random rhinestone accents. Maybe this book was written for someone with different taste than I have, but somehow I feel like a lot of these ideas are completely incongruous. Once you spend the money on all the ingredients for these DIY‘s, you haven’t actually saved that much, it seems.

This book had some really great ideas and then it had other things that looked like junk that you might have picked up from the free box at a yard sale. The reason that I gave this book 2 stars is because of this drastic difference. For me personally, I think that was somewhere around 15 projects that I would want to try. That's less than a quarter of the projects contained within the book! There was just a lot of projects that looked really cheaply homemade (there is nothing wrong with DIY but you should have something a little nicer on your wedding day) and as if someone just sloppily put some wood, paint, fabric, and fake flowers into a pile and glued it together. I honestly think that the best part of this book was the section on making bouquets and bout pins. I would recommend not buying this book but instead looking it up at your local library and scanning the projects that you would like to try.

I don't like the rustic country theme for myself, but some of the ideas were interesting and still classy. I did like most of the bouquet combinations specifically and thought the dessert table(s) at the end were lovely, though didn't strike me as very 'rustic'.

Eh. The book wasn't too bad but I didn't really like any of the crafts offered. I found myself more interested in the background images than the crafts being highlighted.
