Review: The Only Wedding Planner You Need
Forget about buying all those bridal magazines! This is the only
book a bride needs for planning her wedding. Every bride wants
her wedding to be unique and this book provides you with innovative,
creative and cost effective ideas that will make your wedding
stand out from all the rest. I was impressed with the wide range
of ideas and easy to read format. It is the perfect Christmas
or engagement gift for the bride-to-be and her mother.
Review: Great book
I got a copy of this book for a good friend who is getting married,
and she absolutely loved it. There are tons of ideas in the book
for every aspect of the wedding. And a lot of the ideas will make
the wedding even more special without making the wedding any more
expensive. (In fact, some of the ideas will even save my friend
thousands of dollars.) A wedding day is such a special occasion
that I cannot imagine how anyone could not benefit from at least
a few of the ideas in this book.
The major sections of the book were as follows:
1. Pre-Wedding (ideas for photos, invitations, and stuff like
that)
2. The Ceremony (ideas for flowers, attire, video, decorations,
etc.)
3. The Reception (ideas for center pieces, favors, entertainment,
toasts, etc.)
4. The Post-Wedding (ideas for wedding albums, thank you notes,
gift-opening parties, and things like that)
All in all, this book is worth way more than the
price. I am glad I bought it for my friend.

The Best of Martha Stewart Living Weddings
(Best of Martha Stewart Living) (Hardcover)
Amazon.com
The maven of all things tasteful, Martha Stewart has impeccable
style when it comes to weddings, and The Best of Martha Stewart
Living: Weddings compiles the finest ideas from the magazine of
the same name. The book is designed to provide inspiration for
the big day, whether it is for the ceremony or the reception.
Wedding apparel isn't covered, but all of the other significant
parts of the wedding are: ceremony and reception decorating, bouquets
and boutonnieres, wedding cakes, favors, guest books, music--even
storage and display of photographs and other memorabilia after
the wedding.
Stewart encourages readers to use the book's ideas as inspiration
for wedding elements unique to the bride and groom, and to avoid
simply incorporating the book's ideas into their wedding day.
She emphasizes that a wedding should reflect the couple's personality
and wishes, as well as any customs they choose to follow. There
are few rules of etiquette à la Emily Post. Instead, the
book provides historical explanations of common wedding traditions,
then gives examples of variations on that tradition that couples
have decided to use in their weddings. Stylishly arranged color
photographs of the bouquets, wedding cakes, reception decorations,
table settings, party favors, and more bring the ideas to life;
instructions for reproducing them are often provided.
Many of Martha's suggestions are doable even on
a budget because they stick to simple, classic design. The reference
section at the end of the book includes ceremony and reception
planning and seating tips; music suggestions; recipes for cakes,
drinks, and hors d'oeuvres; and sources for wedding supplies.
The Best of Martha Stewart Living: Weddings should prove a rich
source of inspiration for couples looking to add stylish and meaningful
touches to their wedding day. --Kris Law
Book Description
"Will you marry me?"
If you or someone you love said yes, let America's
wedding experts help you create a day as romantic as the day he
asked. For more than a decade, Martha Stewart and the editors
of Martha Stewart Weddings have guided brides down the aisle,
onto the dance floor, and over the threshold with thousands of
ideas for making their wedding day unforgettable. In this breathtakingly
beautiful volume, brides-to-be -- or anyone participating in planning
this joyous event -- will find ideas and inspiration for every
element of a wedding, including decoration, flowers, cakes, food,
favors, and photography.
The very best ideas from Martha Stewart Weddings
have been organized here in four sections--For the Ceremony, For
the Reception, Forever, and For Reference. For the Ceremony is
filled with bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, and bridesmaids flowers.
There are decorating ideas for every kind of ceremony imaginable
-- a classic clapboard church, a grassy meadow, or the family
living room. For the Reception features exquisite lighting ideas,
a selection of drinks and hors d'oeuvres, charming favors for
guests, and, of course, cakes. There are more than 30 cakes to
inspire you, and there is one to suit every style, taste, and
budget. Novice bakers can learn how to make a basic wedding cake
in Wedding Cake 101. Forever includes albums, guest books, and
keepsakes. In the For Reference section there is information to
help you plan the ceremony and reception, select music, chose
stationery, prepare hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, and find supplies
to make many of the projects pictured.
Designed to evoke the grandeur with which a wedding
day should be celebrated, The Best of Martha Stewart Weddings
is the ultimate guide to creating a wedding day as touching as
the words "I do."
Review: Martha at her BEST
What a beautiful and helpful book! Really - it's Martha at her
best! She's so good at weddings, and this book has a wonderful
collection of some of her best ideas on the subject. Such useful
information! It was interesing to learn about placement of the
bridal party and where the guest seat! Who knew that Catholic
and Jewish ceremonies were diffrent. The invitation help was great
too - especially if you are making your own, like we are!
Review: ESSENTIAL READING FOR ALL BRIDES
-TO -BE
**This is my second copy... (I wore out my first copy).. Have
styled many many weddings using this invaluable guide - from budget
nuptials to ooh la la over the top extravaganza's.. so many many
ideas that are so easy to do yourself.. Martha makes it all so
easy.. If you buy no other books, buy this one!!!
Review: The Best of Martha Stewart Living
Weddings
Excellent reference book as well as beautiful layout overall.
With my first-time buyer incentive on Amazon.com, the price was
excellent!
Review: Ideas for planning a wedding
Martha Stewart's "The Best of Martha Stewart Living Weddings"
provides information such as decorations, cakes, flowers, as well
as reception ideas that are useful for couples who are planning
for their weddings. Stewart also provides information for those
who are interested to make things (cakes, favors, etc) rather
than just buying them from the stores. The book is filled with
colorful pictures that help to illustrate her ideas.
Before reading this book, I thought that it would
be too fancy and way too expensive for middle-class folks (like
some of the wedding books out there). However, I am pleasantly
surprised that some of her ideas are quite practical and doable
and they were not as expensive as I thought. A useful book to
have. I would also recommend Carley Roney's "The Knot: Complete
Guide to Wedding in the Real World" which I think provides
even more detailed information.
Review: A Must have
A "Must Have" for those who works in the wedding industry
or getting married. Featured some creative decoration ideas, wedding
bouquets & boutonniere style, cake decoration,Type of flowers,
color coordination, music lists, etc. Great book for references.
Review: A beautiful and practical must-have
reference!
This is a high-quality volume, and includes page after page of
beautiful full color photographs that are very enjoyable to look
through as well as very helpful in inspiring ideas for one's own
wedding. It is also an incredible reference, loaded with valuable
information about all aspects of weddings (ceremony, reception,
attire, flowers, and much more). I don't know what I'd do without
this handy and lovely guide, and I look forward to a very unique
and elegant wedding with significant thanks to this book for it.
The one single best resource out there for brides-to-be.
Review: The BEST Wedding Book Out There,
By Far!
Like most brides, I have probably spent 1/8 of my budget on books
and magazines alone! But save yourself some money because this
is truley the best wedding book out there! The pictures were full
of ideas that you could really incorporate into your own wedding.
This book is just full of inspiration!
Review: WORTH THE INVESTMENT
BEYOND THE BASICS... I love this book! As a compulsive
researcher, I wanted as much information as possible when I was
planning my wedding. This book goes beyond the basics and covers
such topics as having a tent reception, seasonal flowers, preserving
photos after the wedding, and so much more. On top of all of the
great info, this book is just plain beautiful. It is filled with
gorgeous photography and many details. I had my baker recreate
a cake from this book, and I also had my caterer use a punch recipe.
I just loaned my precious copy out to an engaged friend and I
hope she enjoys it as much as I did.
Review: A Lovely Book
When my daughter and I planned her wedding last year, we found
that it was easy to get overwhelmed by the commercial hoopla around
the wedding preparation process. This book helped by having plenty
of beautiful ideas all in one place.
The book includes a variety of styles -- unlike the bridal magazines,
which all seemed to have the same ideas over and over. All the
ideas are classic, elegant, and practical. We were able to use
the pictures in this book to crystallize ideas, which we then
could take to our wedding professionals, who were able to help
us make them affordable and realistic for a simple backyard wedding.
The book goes through flowers, cakes, refreshments, stationery,
favors, and music. From the early dream stage through the final
preparations, it is a useful and practical help.

America Entertains : A Year of Imaginative
Parties (Hardcover)
Book Description
Everyone loves a party, but no one can create one as spectacularly
as David Tutera. In America Entertains, the party-planner extraordinaire
has created blueprints for 16 themed events-one for each month
plus four additional fêtes-that celebrate America's regions
and traditions. Each party plan offers ideas for everything from
cocktails to floral designs, invitations to tabletops. Whether
your gathering is intimate or for hundreds, Tutera's innovative
strategies for fun, elegance, and decadence let you create a fantastic
and all-encompassing look.
Tutera's recipes for great hosting include classic American dishes
as well as comprehensive tips for theme and decoration. His Summer
Solstice Celebration in Santa Fe features a Slow-Baked Salmon
with Chardonnay-Butter Sauce; the Ranch Country Wedding Reception
near Dallas includes the mix for a Smoky Martini.
Each of Tutera's parties is organized into three
levels-Essentials, Extras, and Extravagances-for varying budgets
and time limits. Tutera Tips condense his years of experience
into quick hints for difficult topics-what to do with your guests'
coats, or where to seat your eccentric uncle.
Review: Another Amazing Treat!
David is truly an amazing talent who can transform any idea into
magnificent! I loved his first book and was so delighted to have
book number two. His ideas are fresh, original and imaginative
and the recipes are incredible too. If you are looking for the
perfect party planning book, this is IT! David Tutera is magic!
Review: MY ENTERTAINING SURVIVAL
GUIDE
America Entertains was my holiday survival guide! The December
in NYC Party gave me so many festive home decorating ideas and
amazing recipes. My guests simply couldn't stop eating the Molasses
Christmas Crinkles or drinking the Mistletoe Martinis.
Valentines Day is just around the corner, I am already reviewing
David's February in New Orleans Chapter. I know my husband will
love chocolate-covered rose petals and Sinfully Red Cocktails
but I'm guessing I will be enjoying them more than him!!!
David, thank-you so much!!
Review: Book for everyone
America Entertains is a must have for everyone. If your looking
for entertaining for the holidays and different ways to decorate
this book is a must.
David Tutera has the most incredible ideas and the Tutera tips
keep you on your toes..
He is a very exquisite and talented designer. I've seen David
on "the View" and the Wayne Brady show, And I look forward
to more shows to get wonderful ideas that make your house a home
and you can enjoy your party.
A must have!!
Review: HIT OF THE PARTY!!!
This is the must read for any person who is planning on entertaining
this holiday season or hosting for the simplist of occasions.
David helps to guide those who do not have an eye for creativity
or who just need a push to take their ideas futher. This book
is insightful and entertaining to read. David Tutera is the best
little secret to share with your friends.
Review: The perfect gift for those
who have everything!
Having worked with and attended parties produced and given by
David, I'm happy for all who read this book to have the opportunity
to be "in the know" about his many secrets for successful
-- mind-blowing -- celebrations. Now, everyone has access to the
little and big "things" that makes David's parties so
special. He's got to be the most creative and gracious entertainer
I've seen ... and now, his readers will be too.
With the holidays coming up, America Entertains is on my gift
list, especially for those individuals who have everything. This
book arms all of us with those special secrets to keep our guests
enchanted, not just during our parties ... but for days (and hopefully
longer) as the experiences are stored in their memory banks.
Review: That's Entertainment!
By presenting a variety of actual parties, David Tutera demonstrates
that a little imagination can elevate a simple dinner to a stunning
event. The "Tutera tips" are extremetly useful as are
small tidbits of information scattered throughout the text from
caring for orchids to choosing the right ingredients for a martini.
Tutera's clever use of readily available elements inspires the
at home host to try something a little different. Visually exciting
tables and rooms set the tone for any entertainment you plan and
this book is full of creative ways to find your inner decorator.
A friend who bought the book hosted an Asian food dinner party
and was inspired to decorate her table in red, black, gold and
bamboo to visually carry the theme to her table. Her guests raved
about the total effect proving that it really was worth the effort.
Kudos to Tutera and to anyone inspired to artfully enhance their
entertaining after reading this delightful, accessible book.
Creative Wedding Keepsakes You Can Make (Paperback)
From Library Journal
Wedding expenses can be astronomical,
and smart brides, with the help of their friends, can cut costs
by making some accessories themselves. The projects in this book
are mainly for items using real or artificial flowers such as
bouquets, table decorations, and the bride's personal accessories.
Most are easily assembled, and the finished products are lovely
and very professional in appearance. An excellent choice for all
public libraries.
Beautiful Wedding Receptions (Pennies from Heaven Series)
The Perfect Wedding Reception :
Stylish Ideas For Every Season (Hardcover)
Book Description Once couples decide
to say "I do" there are dozens and dozens of decisions
to be made. It's hard to know where to begin and even more difficult
to fit all the dozens of details together into one wonderful event.
Thankfully Maria McBride-Mellinger, author of acclaimed bridal
books, stylishly illustrates just how to create a dreamy reception
that will be forever memorable.
The Perfect Wedding Reception features exquisite
wedding celebrations designed by Maria McBride-Mellinger that
capture the magic of each season in refreshing, contemporary style.
The nuptial adventure begins in a formal spring garden but soon
its off to a beach front for a fanciful summer wedding, to a revolutionary
era stone barn for a rustic fall wedding and finally to a gracious
country home for a candle lit winter wedding feast.
Glorious photos of each location, flowers, menu
selections, table details, centerpieces, bouquets, invitations,
wedding cakes and favors tell the story of each wedding with helpful
tips and most importantly McBride-Mellinger's favorite resources
from around the country that will actually help bring your wedding
reception to life.
Whatever season you choose to marry Maria McBride-Mellinger
offers delightful flourishes to tempt every couple as they plan
the party of their lives and create memories meant to last a lifetime.
Review: Perfection!
As a second-time bride, this was the book that "did it"
for me. My October wedding reception, while not the exact replica
of Ms. McBride-Mellinger's, incorporated as many of her ideas
as I could. This is an absolutely beautiful book which will be
an inspiration to any bride to be that wants a classy, memorable
wedding befitting her chosen season. The settings, invitations,
floral designs, cakes, and small touches are unique and certainly
can be "scaled down" for those on a smaller budget.
Not the end-all, be-all catalogue of a bridal book...but a digestable
and exquisite source of inspiration.
Review: Beautiful pictures, but not enough
different weddings
This book has wonderful pictures of four weddings, one in each
season.
The pictures are truly extraordinary, but they are almost exclusively
of these four weddings, so there aren't tons of different ideas
for each season, rather one "theme" idea for each season.
One thing that disappointed me was that her summer wedding was
a casual one on the beach, so if you want more formal ideas for
a summer wedding you are out of luck. Like other reviewers have
said, most of these perfect presentations would be completely
out of a lot of people's price range, but you could definitely
pull a few ideas that you loved from her spreads and make it work
on a smaller budget. By and large this is a good supplementary
book on reception ideas, with tons of photos and some good "idea"
text (as opposed to "how-to" text.)
Review: OSTENTATIOUS IDEAS FOR EVERY SEASON
BUT NOT EVERY BRIDE
If Kennedy or Vanderbilt is your last name and I mean The Kennedys
and The Vanderbilts, if Bill Gates is your wedding sponser or
if you are a member of the Royal Family then this book is for
you. If you live in the real world you may not want to bother
reading a book that would embarrass even Martha Stewart. Even
if your wedding budget isn't that of a small nation you can uncover
some ideas to use on a realistic day of bliss. But I would leave
out the "Honeymoon bed out in the open" next to a swamp
unless you are marrying Jeff Corwin or the Crocodile Hunter. Look
at page 116 and see if you would like to spend your wedding night
there but McBride-Mellinger says "far from sight of the area's
inhabitants". It's also far from sight of a bathroom,room
service and Walgreen's to get some mosquito spray and close to
sight for anything with four or six legs or even eight hairy ones
that hopefully would be four groomsmen rather than a spider. As
in all the weddings in the book, the cakes are works of art, the
prettiest I've ever seen (pgs 106&107, 214&215 "a
masterpiece" and the chapter on Confections) and the flowers
are magnificent. If you read this book make sure to have a dictionary
for all the $2.00 words as it must have been written with a word
processor in one hand an a Thesaurus in the other. Also, a really
good cook book will come in handy to try and figure out what everyone
was eating. McBride-Mellinger is even so helpful as to tell you
how to dress the "help" as if in this day and time the
guests even know what to wear, where the "help" should
go to the bathroom, and to prepare food incase they work more
then four hours. But do show respect because Maria McBride-Mellinger
has a very high opinion of herself and a much over inflated ego.
"The Perfect Wedding Reception" is that: perfectly ostentatious,pretentious,over
the top and prefectly not for middle class America. The book is
a "perfect" waste of a good tree. For over 30 years
I have been a floral artist and wedding planner with the experience
of over 500 weddings in all parts of the US and Europe.
Review: creative suggestions
This book suggests many creative ways to make your wedding reception
fun and unique. The author describes 4 weddings (one for each
season) thoroughly and with an artist's eye for detail and color.
She also provides an extensive index for all aspects of reception
preparation and planning. The pictures vividly display the character
of each wedding, bringing them to life. I would have prefered
some extra examples with illustrations of decorationg ideas for
each season that were not part of the featured wedding. It would
have been nice to have some more practical examples of possibilities.
The featured weddings are gorgeous but, for people like myself,
a bit out of reach financially. Surely, one can put a creative,
unique twist on some less eccentric styles to make them equally
as special, beautiful and perfect for any wedding.
Review: Very helpful
There are some wonderful suggestions here to make your day special.
You will read this and remember the little things to do. One recommendation
would be to direct readers to Katherine's Song, the wedding song
in Defenders of the Holy Grail (Ken Agori)...this is THE song
for this millenium. Of course, this may belong more at the service,
but at the reception for the first dance, WOW!! THis book is worth
the money...
Review: One of the Best
In preparation for our wedding, I ordered just about every book
that I thought looked appealing and got great reviews, literally
HUNDREDS of dollars' worth of books! This and its companion, The
Perfect Wedding, stood out among the rest.
I liked it for the following reasons:
1. Beautiful pictures of original ideas. There were lots of pictures
and lots of ideas. Obviously you aren't going to find a book that
has absolutely every idea for flowers or cakes (it would be HUGE!),
but the ones that this book included were very nice.
2. Good mix of pictures and text. About 3/5 of the book was pictures
and ideas. It was divided up into 4 sections representing the
4 seasons, so you could get ideas for your specific season (getting
inspiration from the best of your season is a great idea!). The
other 2/5 of the book was resources with phone number, addresses,
websites, etc., so you could actually get ahold of the people
who put together the beautiful things in this book or go to the
places that would give you more of a similar idea.
3. Not just for the wealthy. Granted that I personally am not
too concerned with books geared for my budget, this book gave
ideas for all ranges of budgets. Of course, some of the cakes,
flowers, etc., must have been expensive, but she also gives ideas
that are more budget-conscious.
I would recommend this book, no question. It's better
than Colin Cowie's, on par with Martha's, and definitely much
better than Vera Wang's.

The Ultimate Wedding Idea Book: 1,001 Creative Ideas
to Make Your
Wedding Fun, Romantic, and Memorable (Paperback)
From Library Journal
A wedding consultant gives tips on everything from the proposal
and prenuptial parties to the post-wedding period when couples
struggle to write thank you notes, exchange duplicate gifts, and
begin financial planning. Many brides will find her emphasis on
handling stress and strategies for taking care of yourself beneficial.
Muchnick even includes some comments on renewing vows, a topic
ignored by many books. Though the ideas presented here are found
in other guides (such as Robbi G.W. Earnst's more detailed Great
Wedding Tips from the Experts, Lowell, 2000), this is fun to browse
through, and readers will appreciate the straightforward, friendly
tone.
