The Budget Wedding Sourcebook presents dozens of creative, money-saving techniques for making the most out of any wedding budget. From choosing a location to ceremonial decor, Madeline Barillo shares ideas, hints, and real-life examples to help the bride and groom have the wedding they want at a price they can afford.
The format of this book was not my favorite. It had a lot of information to read and then it would paraphrase all these points at the end of the chapter. I found it far more useful to just skip to the end of the chapter than bother with the longer sections. The ideas in this book seemed a lot more pricey to me than the other "bargain" wedding books- maybe that's why it says "budget" in the title instead. It did have a lot of prices listed (good jumping off point) and the resource list in the back is very comprehensive. Perhaps I'd give it another go.
I was just talking about weddings and I thought of this book. I would really recommend this book to anyone who is going to plan a wedding. I loved the first few chapters because it helps you make decisions and set priorites. It saves you money by helping you set your wedding goals and gives tips about where you can cut without anyone knowing the better. A must-have for planing your own wedding.
