CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Coffee table book -
Fun to look at pictures but this book does not offer many ideas for the every day bride.

For the collector -
I'm a collector of wedding related books, and this one does not disappoint. I wasn't willing to pay full price - a whopping $75 - but when it came down in price on Amazon and Christmas came bearing gift cards, it was the perfect time to add to my collection. The book is beautiful on my book shelf and I enjoyed the gorgeous layout of all the memorable weddings. This has great details about each event and the photos are stunning.

Wonderful Wedding Wishbook! -
From the lush pink suede front cover to the back equally lush cover it's a bride's picture book dream. There's not much nuts & bolts "how to" there, but if you want inspiration, you will find it. The weddings covered definitely fall into the platinum wedding category, so for us mere mortals with real budgets, many of the over the top extravagances are not possible. BUT the look and feel of the radically different weddings contained in the book will spark the imagination - and it will be up to the bride or brides planner to make it their own. Bottom line - wow! for brides & wedding planners.

Speaking from a florist point of view -
This is such a fabulous book, every bride should buy this book for inspiration. Here at Magnolia Village Florist, we recommend every bride peruse though great books such as Colins before meeting with your florist.

Thank you Colin for another great book!

A little on the frivolous side, but so is the wedding! -
I bought this as a gift for my newly engaged sis-in-law, so she could look at all the pictures and get into the excitement of wedding planning. I wouldn't buy this for myself, but it worked as a gift : )
