From Something Olde to Something New:
A Bride's Guide to Something Unique : Creative
Ways to Personalize Your Wedding Celebration (Paperback)
From Independent Publisher
The most important thing a bride needs (after
the groom) is the reassurance that her day will
be something special and unique. This concise
guide offers solutions to the multiple needs of
planning the wedding, with imaginative interpretations
of the traditional and ideas for creating a truly
personal event. A section is devoted to an examination
of old wedding traditions from around the world
that could be adapted in a variety of ways. The
final section deals with the planning, the timing
of everything from mailing invitations to the
bride's hair appointment. This precise scheduling
advice is most welcome and along with the checklists
and the etiquette guide should help lessen, if
not avoid those last minute jitters. There are
almost as many wedding guides as there are brides,
but for the price this one serves as well as most.
One could only wish that the list of "Royals
to Research" did not read more like one of
dysfunctional pairings!
