This slim volume is packed with gorgeous pictures and ideas for the style and presentation of your wedding reception. Flowers, favours, cakes, table settings and even chair backs are all included and presented beautifully with many fabulous photos. There is also a finishing touches section that makes some extra suggestions for things like gifts for the attendants. The reference section, while small, has some excellent suggestions for taking things further.
If you have already decided your colours or general look (eg modern, informal etc) then this book will be of less use to you. It has some stunning ideas on developing for example a classic look from scratch, but if like me you’ve already got the basics selected and you’re looking for inspiration for those extra touches, then this book is of limited use. Which is not to say you might not pick up an idea or two to lift your reception to a different level.
