Format:Paperback
In planning my wedding this year, I have bought approximately 10 books and multiple wedding magazines on the subject - this book is definately one of the best. Useful practical ideas of how to plan you wedding with "real life" examples of couples who want to make their wedding day special and unique. I would say this is definately a "must read" for those who want to have a day personal and unique to them. One of the best books I've read on the subject.

An Excellent Resource, Great Ideas, Inspiring
27 Jan 2005
Format:Paperback
If you are holding off getting married due to financial concerns, hold off no longer. I found enough advice in this one book to take our own wedding plans off the "hold" button. Intimate, small and personal is in. Intimate Weddings is like having your own wedding planner, whose mission is to save you time and money while helping you find that personal edge to make your day as individual as you are. You CAN have a wedding without racking up new debt and without spending the better part of a year working toward that one special day. Read the book: along with cost and time-saving tips, you'll learn how to get the best deals, including destination weddings, indoor and outdoor ceremonies, and more. Thanks Christina for showing us how to go against the grain. Smaller is definitely better.

An excellent guide for brides who want an intimate wedding
15 Oct 2004
Format:Paperback
Intimate Weddings is beautifully designed, has been painstakingly researched, and is written with style and elegance. The book explains the rationale for having a small wedding, how to go about planning your wedding, setting a budget, creating an intimate ceremony, organizing a reception, planning indoor vs. outdoor receptions, choosing a theme, planning your honeymoon, second weddings, and preserving your wedding memories. Christina Friedrichsen challenges couples to question wedding traditions that may or may not work for them as they plan an intimate and memorable wedding: e.g. do you really want a receiving line? If you want to plan a simple but tasteful wedding, the resource directory at the back of this book will be invaluable to you in your research.
