GENRE: Wedding
FIRST SENTENCE: [From the Foreward] Bot long ago I attended a wedding in a vineyard about 100 miles east of New York City.
SUMMARY: [From Amazon] How many times has the instant that a wedding turned magical taken you by surprise? Was it the disarmingly accurate rehearsal dinner toast or the bride's knowing glance during the exchange of rings? Was it the vow that could only have been written by that particular man about this special woman or the significance of the song playing as they take the floor for their first dance as husband and wife? Whether staged with black tie formality in a candle-lit chateau or with bare feet under a summer oak tree, the perfect wedding is only perfect to the extent that it's personal. When you've decided to say yes, "In Style Weddings" is the one book you'll need to create your unique expression of this timeless ritual. So that when the time comes to say I do, you'll be in the moment - and loving it. Here's a world of inspiring options shown in exquisite detail - invitations, dresses, flowers, music, cakes - and tips from today's top wedding planners on how to make it all come together in a way that's personal, meaningful, and just right. Throughout each chapter, "In Style Weddings" includes details from celebrity nuptials: How Kate Beckinsale fell in love with her strapless Vera Wang gown, the flowers that Debra Messing carried, and the cake that Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas picked for their wedding.
THOUGHTS: I stole and idea or two, but this book was mainly about the pretty pictures. It was odd to see all the celebrity wedding examples knowing that a few of them were already over.
RATING: 6/10 [Good]
