This book is not very good. It doesn’t have any particularly exciting or new ideas. It is very small and, though I did not expect a thorough wedding planning bible (for that, consult Mindy Weiss’ The Wedding Book), I did expect unique, clever ideas. It really did not deliver even that. It was trying to be a lot of things at once. I bought it expecting it to be a specialized book on wedding party ideas but instead found the same old ideas you can pick up in a larger wedding planning book or even in a magazine. It’s not horrible, it’s just not particularly helpful.
