Anti-Bride Wedding Planner: Hip Tools and Tips for Getting Hitched

After getting engaged, and knowing I didn't want a big white wedding with puffy dress and a gazillion people I hardly know feasting on beef or chicken, I set out to find a book for people like me. The title put me off and I did overlook it at first, but after flicking through I discovered it wasn't anti-wedding, just anti-traditional old-fashioned wedding. It's witty and full of relevant info and tips. I loved the layout with the spiral binding inside and the different tabs for the different sections and the space to write planning details along the way (quotes, vendors, ideas etc). My fiance is now reading it as as he flipped through it and loved it too! I highly recommend this book as the first one to read if you're a cool, modern bride-to-be. It's definitely the best one I have come across in Border's. Great for a non-traditional girl like me!

This book is great..it is not meant to be the only book you own to plan your wedding but it certainly has much of what I needed. This book is first and formost an organizer and that is what I was loking for. It has some great tips and a nice setup to keep buisness cards, and other pieces of paper all in this one book. It has been invaluble so far. I bought this and the companion "Anti-Bride Etiquette Quide". IF you want someone else to tell where to go and what to buy there are dozens of websites and magazines. I just wanted a book that can help me, a first time bride, know the ins and outs of weddings and what to do plan and organize the day! ANd this book is a great resource for that.

I was thrilled with the content of this book. It was filled with great ideas that I could not find in other bridal planning guides. Each chapter presented great money-saving ideas, while still mainting elegance and good taste. Also, I loved all of the "hip- tips" related to creating a great sense of ambience for our wedding. Would highly recommend.

This wedding planner really delivers as advertised - this IS the ultimate tool for the nontraditional bride. This planner is compact because there is no wasted space or fluff, just relevant information that I'll need to plan my wedding. I especially like the clever and witty writing style of the authors that make reading this planner fun and entertaining as it is practical and creative for planning a wedding to remember.

Finally! A hip wedding planner for the modern bride who's not interested in throwing yet another generic wedding. This planner really inspires with its clever and creative ideas that really get you brainstorming. The well-thought-out lists and questionnaires help you prioritize and simplify the millions of decisions that need to be made, and the questions for vendors really help put you on the right track to getting the best people on board for your big day. This planner provides not only suggestions for "outside-of-the box" planning, it's also full of "Anti-Bride Tips" that can literally save you a lot of headache, time and money. There are also plenty of pages left open for notes to brainstorm and collect your thoughts, and pockets to neatly file your samples, pictures, vendor info, receipts, etc. I even love the look and feel of this book, which really reflects the spirit of the Anti-Bride concept: it's sharp color scheme and graphics are really hip and highly stylized, making it really stand out from the other, more standard, ho-hum, chunky wedding planners. It's compact size makes it easy and convenient to carry around with you everywhere. Finally, to truly organize the busy bride, I really like the "Phone Book: Important Info at a Glance" section included to really keep key information handy. There will be no flurry of panic to find that one important piece of information somewhere at the bottom of... my purse(?!) While planning one of the most important days of my life, the Anti-Bride Wedding Planner will definitely be my closest companion and confidant for the months ahead while I plan a unique, meaningful and memorable event for me and my husband-to-be. I highly recommend the Anti-Bride Wedding Planner and will definitely be getting copies in the future for friends planning to get hitched.
