Weddings

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.

Okay, I admit I'm really not a "Martha" fan, but this book turned my head. I am a floral designer and am always on the lookout for books that display good photographs of wedding bouquets and arrangements. Lately, few books have passed my stringent quality standards to purchase for use in my business. This one, however, has wonderful photos that brides can look through and use as examples of what they like when beginning the floral consultation process.Normally I find that Martha's books and magazines show only styles that are popular with wealthy brides on the East Coast and few, if any, of the styles appeal to my Midwest clientele. However, while I have not yet read the text to determine it's level of loftiness, I must admit that the floral styles and samples presented in this book point to the most well-rounded "Martha" book I have seen. Beautiful photography. Kudos.

I purchased this book to get pointers for wedding planning and decor tips. My order arrived on time and was packaged well. This book is filled with a good deal of information, especially for anyone that doesn't have a lot of guidance as far decor or etiquette, plus I love that Martha always has DIY projects that reach people who love elegant to the 9s designs to simple and chic.I would recommend this to anyone who just loves Martha, needs some ideas for their wedding or just needs help figuring out what to do for their wedding.

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.

This is a high-quality volume, and includes page after page of beautiful full color photographs that are very enjoyable to look through as well as very helpful in inspiring ideas for one's own wedding. It is also an incredible reference, loaded with valuable information about all aspects of weddings (ceremony, reception, attire, flowers, and much more). I don't know what I'd do without this handy and lovely guide, and I look forward to a very unique and elegant wedding with significant thanks to this book for it. The one single best resource out there for brides-to-be.

What a beautiful and helpful book! Really - it's Martha at her best! She's so good at weddings, and this book has a wonderful collection of some of her best ideas on the subject. Such useful information! It was interesing to learn about placement of the bridal party and where the guest seat! Who knew that Catholic and Jewish ceremonies were diffrent. The invitation help was great too - especially if you are making your own, like we are!

Really a great book, comprehensive and a great read. I really found the book soooo helpful even 1 month before my wedding, I only wish I had bought it earlier. Totally worth the 35 dollars just to have a comprehensive guide in one place to planning a wedding, Martha thinks of it all!Enjoy and happy wedding planning!

Martha knows her stuff, and if you are getting married you need this book. Everything from rings, to cakes, to dresses, to flowers, to processional order is covered in this book, along with DIY tips and recipes. You can't go wrong with Martha!

It is a good reference book. Some of the recipes are great. Some info doesn’t translate to other countries but nevertheless is it Martha Stewart and it is a good book. I have lend it to many friends, from different nationalities and they have all liked it

Highly recommended book with 'feel-good' factor. Lots of lovely pitcures to inspire and encourage planning every aspect. Lovely finishing touches. Ceratinly one for the book shelf in years to come past the big day too!!

Would recommend this book for wedding ideas. As its American I find they really to town with celebrating and so have different ideas to our usual UK thoughts. Love the ideas and the different twist on some of them.

Beautiful book. Not getting married but love the photography in a Martha Stewarts books

She knows how to give back by sharing her gifts and talents with others. What a book and a great source of inspiration.
