Summary: I got this as a gift, and I really liked it!
Review: I disagree with the other reviewers, I think this book was very helpful and useful, even for rthe not so rich. For example, one of my favorite parts was illustrations of different wedding gown types such as diffent necklines and waist styles. It t even recommend the most flattering dress style for different figures. It gives information about popular wedding flowers and their season of availability. It gives suggestions for wording on invitations no matter who is hosting. It has a checklist of neccessary bridal regisrty items. Another one of my favorite parts is that it gives thank you gift ideas for your attendants, and the parents of the bride and groom. I thought this made a terrific gift and has proved to be very, very helpful.

Summary: We aren't all self made millionaires with money to burn.....
Review: I was extremely dissapointed with this book. Modern Bride has a history of keeping brides-to-be in the dark about budgeting ideas and ways to cut corners. They continually insist that everyone NEEDS a bridal consultant and that a wedding gown should only be purchased through an expensive private boutique. I found many other wedding books to be so much more helpful that I suggest looking around some more before buying this book. Denise Fields and Diane Warner are some authors who HAVE created some excellent books.

Summary: We aren't all self made millionaires with money to burn.....
Review: Let us please have a book/magazine that is targeted to the bride/bridegroom on a limited budget. Just because we don't have orchids, Dom Perignon and caviar on some veranda in the south of France, doesn't mean we can't have a beautiful, elegant wedding. Etiquette??? Bah humbug. It's the 90's. Who cares?? Etiquette went out the window with finger bowls in the 1890's. You don't need a magazine to tell you how to behave yourself in polite company. Why not target the second time around Bride? 50% of marriages end in divorce! This isn't my lst wedding, either. Let's get REAL. Thank you. Barbara Stevenson/Chicago

Summary: Boring and unreasonable
Review: This book is for people who do not have a wedding budget and who can afford a $100,000.00 wedding. This book is so dry and boring talking about etiquete it puts you to sleep. It makes planning a wedding seem like planning a funeral. No fun at all.
