Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
The three biggest trends in weddings are simplicity, personalization, and colour! Wedding designer and expert Karen Bussen focuses on these elements as she shows couples how to design their own weddings without going crazy or broke. Simple Stunning Weddings is the very first wedding design book to focus on the WHERE of the event. Location is the very first and most important decision; everything else flows from it. Bussen then shows how to create unifying themes with colour, flowers, and personal touches; how to talk to vendors; how to decide where to spend the wedding budget; how to adapt the design for every budget - for example, by changing tablecloths from silk to cotton; striking flower arrangements that use only one or two flower types, which can be a significant cost saving; and advising the reader when it is actually faster, safer, and less expensive to hire someone else to do a job than to tackle it oneself.

What caught my attention about this book is the simplicity of it all. Too often we see so many wham bam showstopping wedding creations. Yet, the author's creations were just as if not more stunning than the 'hooplah'. The author provided great tips and ideas. She eased the readers mind by focusing on the little things and not the overwhelming things. The point she brought out was that in the end the wedding is about two becoming one. It's about love. She provided simple tips on how to create beautiful settings. Sometimes less is more, and that was the gist of what I got out of this book. I highly recommend to any that are practical, yet seeking elegance and simplicity. You don't need elaborate centerpieces to create that special look. Even the simplest of things can exhibit much more beauty.

Simple Stunning Weddings has beautiful visual images to get the gears turning towards planning a gorgeous event. The book didn't meet up to my expectations as far as being a guide for designing & creating the "perfect celebration", but I definitely appreciated the ideas it gave me & will use this book as a visual guide for colour schemes, floral arrangements, etc.

I was hoping that this book would help me get creative and plan my idea wedding. Some of the photos were nice to choose colour schemes, but I really found more luck with that on the internet. The book is geared toward helping you choose the type of wedding that you want. I had already chosen my venue, so most of the book was not applicable. I found the text to provide really common sense descriptions and I don't think that I would have found it to be helpful at any stage of wedding planning.

The title says it all, lots of pictures, ideas and suggestions to host your own simple and stunning wedding. Gives good comparisons of different types of weddings, ie hotel vs tent vs home. I highly recommend it!
