Well reading when I'm not planning to get married gives me butterfly feelings! :)

I may just refer back to this book when I'm preparing for my big day. Nonetheless, there are some parts which cannot be applied to an Asian context. But still a good book with tips and ideas. :)

This are some things which stand out:
1. Tips and tricks by wedding planners and fellow brides
2. Basic lingo to understand certain jargons
3. Cool ideas
4. Related questions and answers pertaining to different aspects
6. Covers the entire wedding and the details in it to create an awesome experience for guests and couple.

A useful book that's not nearly as overwhelming as others. Doesn't give you every last detail of wedding planning, but offers a good overview of the basic things to keep in mind. And the pictures were bright and happy; lots of visual ideas.

This book gives some great suggestions for many different varieties of wedding ceremonies and takes into account details of the day, such as guests, attire, flowers, cakes, etc. A great over-view and planner for any bride!

Not a bad browse! Beautiful photos. Standard advice. Made me drool a bit...but then I remembered the outrageous price tag for the pretty little--and big--extras.
