BRIDE Not every bride is a beautiful young girl.
She might be a beautiful older woman, in which case she would do
well to get her hands on The Wedding Guide for the Grownup
Bride. After all, author Shelley Christiansen gave
us those immortal word, "Register or regret it."
And as the proud recipient of both a squirrel nutcracker (we gave
it to the Salvation Army because there are some things you can't
regift) and a single stainless tablespoon (I don't think he liked
us much), I can only say amen. Nancy |
| BRIDESMAID Everyone who has ever been a bridesmaid
knows the pain of wearing the most hideous dress on the planet.
While Mary Kay McDermott actually gives some suggestions for avoiding
this nightmare in The Bridesmaid's Survival Guide, most
of them are not legal. That shouldn't stop you from enjoying
the book, which also has tips on showers and impressing wedding
guests with your appropriately embellished life story. Nancy |
| DECOR and FLOWERS for Ceremony and Reception Don't
miss this book no matter what your budget.

DESTINATION / GENERAL While every wedding is unique
- even if two people are remarrying - it never hurts to check out
all the possibilities available toward making your special day even
more memorable. Kerry McDonald has pulled together a ton of
ideas in Your Unique Wedding. Check
it out. Nancy |

GENERAL Sometimes one wedding book doesn't have all the answers, but The Everything Wedding Book comes close - the edition
I have carries the label "over two million sold."
As I read through the pages, I felt the authors had done an excellent
job of gathering advice on every aspect of weddings.
And just in case they missed something, this is a series, so other
volumes can fill in your knowledge gaps. Nancy |

GENERAL
"The strongest theme today is personalization." Colin Cowie
Most of us can't afford weddings like Colin Cowie coordinates, but his book, Extraordinary Weddings, contains lots of good ideas to borrow. And every girl can dream ... Nancy |

GENERAL
Tara Guérard has lots of wedding ideas, and she has shared them in Southern Weddings, a book which includes photos from grand events but also tips anyone can use. Nancy |

GENERAL Weddings the essential guide to organizing your perfect day by Alison Price is not as comprehensive as The Everything Wedding Book but the photos are great and it contains some info.
Likewise, Weddings Valentine Style is more about the pictures, but even the cover says the book is about "inspiration," so ... Nancy |

all - pretty much - agree we like celebrity rocks that are big and
