All project details are beautifully photographed and explained with clear step-by-step directions. This invaluable guide is filled with hundreds of suggestions for all styles of weddings. It includes dozens of imaginative ideas for adding a personal touch to any wedding, as well as original ideas that can also save money, such as patterns and instructions for sewing your own wedding veil. Highlights: Includes a multitude of ideas for making wedding accessories and finishing touches for a variety of wedding styles. Makes a great shower gift. More color photos than any competing title. Instructions for making bridal veils in a variety of styles. Information on wedding stationary that includes embossing and die-cutting. Do-it-yourself instructions for making many wedding accessories. There are lots of wedding planner books on the market, but not many in the do-it-yourself category. Ideas shown in the book require only basic sewing skills, if any.
This is a wonderful book, with beautiful pictures throughout the book. I saw it the first time at Michaels. From the moment I looked through it, I knew it was a valuable source in planning a do-it-yourself wedding, or even just adding a few homemade touches to a wedding that is professionally planned. This book has a few basic ideas for each of many aspects of a wedding. There are a few ideas I'm not too thrilled about and that's why I bought an additional wedding decoration book to supplement this one. I also bought a budget book as well, to help to keep the cost low and i bought an wedding organizer, which makes it easier to keep an overview over the whole wedding planning. There are a lot of wedding planners out there, so you are well advised to study them carefully, to find out which suits best for your purposes.
Best wedding craft book ever!

My daughter was married this August and we had searched many books during our preparation time. This book was by far the best one for ideas, instructions and colorful pictures. We used the ideas for the bouquets, flower girl baskets, etc. The wedding was gorgeous and the arangements were beautiful.
Wonderful Ideas!

This book definitely met and exceeded my expectations. After looking through--and looking for--a book on craft ideas for weddings, I was thrilled to have this book in my possession! From designs for veils, garters and shoes to pew bows, ringbearer pillows and soo much more, I know I will use this for many ideas for our wedding. The idea on homemade invitations was also very cool & I loved the idea for the posy balls for the flower girls!
A must for the DIY bride, a wealth of inspiration!

This is perhaps the most elegant Do-It-Yourself wedding accessory/decoration/floral book I have EVER seen. (And I own a lot of them...lol) It has lots of step-by-step photos and a very complete project list. Also at the end of every project, it shows variations of that project, so that you can truly personalize these items for your wedding. The floral chapter is wonderful in and of itself. There is a beautiful ribbon embroidery heart-shaped ring pillow which I plan to make as an accent pillow for my bedroom...it is too pretty! Whether you will be DIY out of budget considerations, or would just like to personalize your wedding with some extra special handcrafted touches, or surprise a bride-to-be with a special gift of your love, this is the book you will want to have!

Great book with excellent ideas. Highly recommend. Great presentation and instructions. We will be using a lot of the ideas in the book for my daughters wedding. My daughter was undecided on her bouquet and headpiece until she looked at the bouquets and headpieces in this book and decided to use one of the examples. Recommend for the bride who is on a budget. This is a beautiful book, that I will use for other gift ideas. If you are a crafter, you must have this book.
