Weddings by Martha Stewart

Arrived safely. Thank you!!!

I lost my original copy of this book in a move. Was thrilled to find it here at such a great price! This book is full of classic ideas that are usable for any entertaining.

Beautiful and inspiring, this book is full of great ideas. A must have for the bride-to-be, or even a young lady just dreaming of her future wedding. Pages 23-95 primarily focuses on the use of flowers for decorations, the bouquet, the boutonniere-- beautifully simple and practical enough for you to request to your florist. Though flowers are adorned throughout the book, candles, wedding cakes, invitations; details of a fantasy wedding are all attended to. This book is filled with many gorgeous pictures! My fiancé bought it for me for our Anniversary and I can't put it down. It really is a must have.

I debated buying this book for a few months. After all, I'm pretty creative and artistic, so could a book (an expensive one at that) really have that many new ideas? But I must admit, from the moment I picked it up, I was impressed. Elegantly bound, with thick, quality paper pages and stunning photography, it is a pleasure to simply thumb through... but for those planning a wedding, it is pure gold! Complete with ideas for almost every part of the wedding, recipes, detailed instructions... it even has a timeline wedding planner, music list and other helpful resources. I am so glad I finally gave it a place on my shelf... my only regret is that I can't afford to buy a copy for each of my bridesmaids as well! :)

This book is a gorgeous one! The ideas inside are so beautiful. Just paging through it has made me even more excited about my upcoming September wedding. I think there are a lot of unique ideas that are very do-able - if you want some special touches to your wedding. I lack the creativity to think of ideas like this on my own, so I don't mind borrowing from this very special book. It is a useful resource for planning my wedding, and I hope one I can use for years to come for other deocrating and memory keeping ideas! Buy and enjoy!

I enjoy books that give you ALL the information that you need to complete a project. I look for details and instructions that truly explain, and not just gloss over, the knowledge base necessary. This reference guide will not disappoint you; actually, this guide will inspire you to have the ability to do it all! The subject matter is complete! There is not a area which has not gone uncovered. You have a wonderful encyclopedia of information that covers everything from the simplest of wedding concerns to the most detailed. This is most evident with the cakes chapter; if you are unable to explain to your caterer or baker, or even to yourself, how to do this, then I don't where else to send you for information. The photography is crystal clear, which is another trademark of the perfection of the Martha Stewart empire. Her motto is "everything has to be perfect" and it is. I have yet to be disappointed in any of her publications and I doubt I ever will. So attention all brides, hope-to-be brides, caterers, bakers, florists, and anybody else with an appreciation for a good book; this is something that will inspire you and once again, give you pause to pay homage to the queen.

As a floral designer, I am in constant contact with today's brides. No matter what the budgetary constraints, I have yet to meet a bride that did not peruse the pages of this book during one of our consultations. Often a single photo will elicite "that's just what I'm looking for". Everyone can't afford a Martha Stewart wedding, but as always, her ideas are helpful for all. It's a good thing...
