I absolutely adore this book! I would be nowhere in my wedding planning without it. To make things a bit easier, though, I took out the comb, three-hole punched it and put it into a 3-ring binder. I also bought some folders and some stick-on tabs, hole punched the folders and organized it all in the binder. Now? Now I carry this thing EVERYWHERE! The lists for inputting information about vendors and receptions sites and everything are a GODSEND, and I have tons of photocopies of each of them in the binder. I've ended up with a few other crappy wedding planners, and none of them even compare to this one. I haven't even so much as looked at the other ones since I got this one! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

This book is pretty comprehensive. It has pages for budgeting and to write down different possibilities to compare each one to the others. It also is very helpful in giving approximate priceranges for different wedding items. Further it states which wedding items usually consume how much % of the wedding budget. The book even offers advice in the kind of dress that should be picked depending on when the wedding is and how formal it is and some stationary examples for what can be written on the invitation. It even goes into detail on some flowers. All in all I think it is a good comprehensive guide to plan a wedding, but I would supplemented with decoration ideas, that can be found online. As one reviewer mentioned, even most of the things that are in this book can be found online. I think I have to agree with this, I found webpages, such as the knot, quite informative regarding weddings.
Best Wedding Planner

This book was my bible for planning my wedding. Gave good ideas for keeping the costs down and the price lists were what one should expect. The checklist and budget planner were the most helpful.
Very user friendly

This is a really nice wedding planner that tries to include everything. One of the things I liked most about this book was that it included price ranges for all the different wedding services and accessories. I also really liked the fact that it included color photos of popular wedding flowers. This book includes worksheets for your invitations, vendors, and budget. I would recommend this to a bride to be, or as a gift from her maid of honor or bridesmaids. Good luck!
A MUST HAVE when planning your wedding.

I have always dreamed of my perfect wedding. Of course, not ever planning one, I had no idea where to begin. I bought this book to help me plan every detail that I needed. The book has done more than that. I was able to stay within my budget, plan each detail in plenty of time and get some great ideas of how we want certain details done. My parents do not live close to me so it was very helpful for them to see what we were getting accomplished so that they know when to pay each bill. I would just send them a copy of each page I completed. They were amazed by how organized I became! Now, my brother is engaged, and I am sending a copy of the book to his fiance so that she too can plan her wedding just as easily as I have. My wedding is in June and I know everything will me perfect, becuase of this book.
