I think the book is beautiful. I have a small wedding business that I run out of my home and this book gave me some great ideas.
Useful, usual ideas

Of the many books I've read on wedding decor, this is among the more helpful. It is one of the few books with truly unique ideas. Many of them are very lovely in effect, but simple, which is handy for people busy with planning a wedding. From the "gilded tree" with roses to the lovely nautilus shell to use as a flower girl basket, it's filled with wonderful little details to add uniqueness and charm to your wedding.
Great ideas for our outdoor wedding!

I have sticky-tab bookmarks on at least 18 pages of ideas we plan to incorporate into our wedding. Most of the ideas we are going to modify in some way, but it sure helps to have a beautifully detailed and photo-illustrated guide to tasteful touches for a wedding. You might not need this book if you already know 1-2-3 what you want for your cookie-cutter event, but if you want to make it special and a touch above, this book is a great way to get your creative juices flowing!
Great book

We're buying this book because we've had it checked out of the library for the three+ months since my daughter's engagement! She loves the ideas, and is using them to give her wedding its own special look. Her only problem is not being able to fit as many ideas into one wedding as she would like. These are mostly handcrafted ideas with very clear instructions, supply lists, etc. Beautiful photgraphy lets you get a realistic picture of the completed projects.
