Perhaps the best-looking and most complete guide to creating wedding accessories, Handcrafted Weddings demonstrates that you can achieve exactly the wedding look you want for less than the store-bought price, and you need only a modicum of crafting experience to accomplish most of it. Organized by theme, the five sections detail projects involving stationery, bridal party accessories, ceremony accents, reception decor, and memorabilia. In addition to dozens of beautiful traditional creations, there are wonderful touches of whimsy, such as the gold-accented white sneakers and baseball cap that the bride can swap for the formal veil and shoes at reception time; the card holder constructed from a white mailbox adorned with pine branches and papier-mache birds; the mirror-tile centerpieces that double the effect of candlelight; or the fairy-tale fantasy of a twig arbor (surprisingly simple: anchor branches in buckets and swath in tulle and twinkle lights). There are so many eye-catching ideas that the hardest part may be choosing which ones to make or finding the time to do them all. --Amy Handy

 Do not buy this July 20, 2005

The ideas in this book look like they came chargin out of the 80's. I have not used it since I bought it. This was a definite waste of money.
 great book with beautiful projects October 13, 2003

This is a wonderful book, with beautiful pictures throughout the book. I saw it the first time at Michaels. From the moment I looked through it, I knew it was a valuable source in planning a do-it-yourself wedding, or even just adding a few homemade touches to a wedding that is professionally planned. This book has a few basic ideas for each of many aspects of a wedding. There are a few ideas I'm not too thrilled about and that's why I bought an additional wedding decoration book to supplement this one. I also bought a budget book as well, to help to keep the cost low and i bought an wedding organizer, which makes it easier to keep an overview over the whole wedding planning. There are a lot of wedding planners out there, so you are well advised to study them carefully, to find out which suits best for your purposes.

I absolutely love this book! I'm actually 19 and getting ready to get married but didn't want to put my e-mail or anything in. I have been freaking out over how to make my own veil and decorations. This book is definately great if you are on a tight budget but still want a beautiful wedding. You can make everything from decorations, centerpieces, veils, garters, ringbearer pillows and a whole lot more. I just got the book yesterday and am EXTREMELY pleased with it. I've already started on my veil. :D
No budget handcrafting August 31, 2002
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
A beautifully illustrated book with great instructions, but I found most projects were created with no budget in mind. When I think handcrafted I think of saving money on the project, I didn't think that was the case with this book. Great traditional ideas and instructions for decorating from cakes to veils but not with a small budget in mind. Well worth buying if you are looking for the personal touch of doing it yourself without being on much of a budget.
Awesome Book February 21, 2002

I had an at home wedding with a small budget. I made a bunch of the projects out of this book and made everything for less than what I could buy it for (and it looked better!). I highly recommend this book if you are going for the "do it yourself" wedding.
