Nice book if you like Nell Hill style or the other books, you will like this book. Not a lot of fresh ideas, but a very pretty book. If my library had this book I probably would not have bought it, but is lovely to look at.
Enjoyable even if you aren't planning a wedding any time soon!

I think Mary Carol Garrity is just superb at her ability to create memorable occasions, whatever the occasion might be! Her love for decorating and excitement for the "presentation" is evident in all of her books. This book is just as fabulous. I have a nine year old daughter and Mary Carol already has me daydreaming of what I'd like to do for my daughter someday, her attention to detail is contagious! This book is a joy to own and I can't keep my hands off this one and her others.
