 Not like the magazine at all October 14, 2006
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
I wish I hadn't bought this book. I love the magazine so I was hoping that the book would be like a whole bunch of the magazines condensed into one huge helpful book. Unfortunately, that is not the case.
There weren't that many pictures with tips and most of the book seems to be a collection of comments on all the weddings Martha and her family and friends have ever had, from her grandmother to daughter to close friends. That was a little odd. The pictures were beautiful but not very helpful. There really weren't too many new ideas or good tips. I was very disappointed.
As long as you don't expect this book to be like a condensed version of the magazine, you might like it. I read the whole thing and put it on the shelf. Hopefully I can pass it on to someone who will appreciate it at some point.

The pictures are wonderful but the specifics are very limited. I think this book is a wonderful place to start to get ideas for colors, style, etc. but you will need more specific information to actually plan a wedding.

I bought this wedding planner for my nanny. I used the free one from State Farm, which they give to their insured, and that was okay. I splurged for her because she was completely unorganized. Within a few days she started bringing it to the house with all her paper work. I could hear her making her calls and checking off her lists. I asked her and she said it was very good. She had a planner form Barns and Noble and it was completely useless. The only complaint she had was the same as everyone else...having to photocopy the guest list. I can see if you are having 300 people, but there is only one page. I think for the money you should get enough for your average sized wedding. Other than that, it's great. It also has lots of ideas and pictures of some of Martha's great work and ideas.

I really enjoyed paging through this book. It covers everything from flowers to invitations, to dresses to food, etc. She also explains the traditions and goes into depth on how different religions can set up the procession, ceremony, music to play, greeting line, and table seatings, etc. All of the photos were wonderful and gave me a lot of great ideas for my wedding. Anyone who loves Martha Stewart will love this book, as well as those who are looking to have a beautiful, classy, and elegant wedding. I highly recommend this book!
