 Not for me April 28, 2008

I didn't find anything new or "ground-breaking" in this book. You can get similar information for free on wedding blogs. This could possibly be a good book for people that are not already DIY-oriented, but for me, it wasn't worth it.

The Ultimate Resource for DIY Wedding Projects March 23, 2008

Khris Cochran has made a name for herself in the wedding industry by establishing DIYBride.com as THE ultimate go-to resource for wedding craft advice and how-to information for brides and wedding vendors alike. Her first book, The DIY Bride is a welcome addition to the materials on the market for couples who want to create a unique wedding. This book is chock full of projects that are chic and stylish, from custom wedding maps to luminaria trees. None of the projects look handmade, even though they are simple enough for anyone to do. Khris has written a book that is witty, fun to read, and includes easy-to-understand instructions on how to create each featured wedding craft. I'd recommend her book to anyone who
has the time and desire to create unique elements for their wedding.
A relief from the usal wedding-planning nightmare! March 21, 2008

I LOVE THIS BOOK! I bought this book as a guide to help me create my own invitations, but it is so much more. It offers creative ideas for everything from Save The Dates to Flower Girl Buckets & Ring Bearer Pillows, all the way to Reception Decor & Favors, plus great ideas for storing & displaying your memories. I did not find anything that looked "cheap" in this book, and am now inspired and excited to plan my wedding. Each project offers a material list, step-by-step instruction, and price comp to the store bought version. The only drawback is there are only 2 types of invitations included, neither of which fit my personal style. But don't let that discourage you from buying this book. Just buy an invitation book to supplement it. Also, be sure to do a trial run on the papercrafts before you cut all the paper. The author's measurements are EXACT on the Save The Dates with little room for error, so you will want to figure out how to adjust measurements per your need ahead of time. Overall, this book is priceless, creative, and inspirational. BUY THIS BOOK!

I love this book. Being a wedding planner, I've read more wedding-related books than I'm willing to admit. This is one of the few that not only delivers many, many useful and stylish projects, it's well written, upbeat, and nice looking. There are far too many wedding books that are just a waste of time (something most brides have too little of). This book raises the bar for other wedding authors. Thanks, Khris Cochran! I recommend this to all my clients who want inspiration to personalize their weddings.
