The Knot Complete Guide to Weddings: The Ultimate Source of Ideas, Advice, and Relief for the Bride and Groom and Those Who Love Them

As an Interior Designer, I help plan, design, and set up weddings for couples. This book helps me keep them on track and stress free. The planning process goes so much smoother with a good plan that everyone can easily follow & keep checking off little by little. The detailed pictures to help explain what the floral/decor/catering/dessert/etc lingo means & looks like helps couples picture what they want & what to ask for. It lets them be prepared for the questions & not feel inundated by the new terms & many ideas thrown at them. They go in knowing what they are looking for.

I had no idea where to begin when I got engaged..... this book does a good job of explaining the basics right as well as providing checklists that are handy to have when talking to deejays, caterers, florists, etc. on the phone or over email. We originally picked up the version of this book with just the checklists, which is useful if you are more prepared than I was and know all the components that go into planning a wedding, but I had to come back for the full book, and it has been so helpful!

This book is a great all-encompassing resource for brides and grooms planning a wedding. I really loved how it presented all of the different options for each scenario of the planning process. For instance, when it comes to music...do you want an iPod, a DJ, a band (how big of a band), etc. and then went into detail about each choice. It was a great resource for etiquette, especially in a day in age where more and more couples are paying for their own weddings but do not want to step on the toes of moms, dads and in-laws to be. Most of this information was available on theknot.com, but this was a great tool to have on-hand for quick info.

Precious book

Love the amalgamation of modern and traditional. Covers EVERYTHING!!

A great book for beginning to plan a wedding. It has many topics, and still managed to be useful after I got married for guest info. like dress codes. I liked it so much I bought it for my friend.

This was a huge help for planning my wedding! There was a timeline in the front and each chapter focused on a different aspect of wedding planning. There was even a tool to help calculate a budget. I was clueless when I started planning, but I would read each chapter before meeting with vendors or making decisions, so I knew what to look for or ask. I've given this book as engagement gifts to three of my friends because I wouldn't have survived wedding planning without it.

This book is GREAT, offers tons of advice, help, and really clever ideas- however, a warning to brides with a budget under $30,000 (like me)- this book isn't really aimed at you. While it is a great resource regardless of budget, the author(s) assume a pretty big budget (the ability to pay for open bar, lighting, professional decorators, etc.). Please don't let this dissuade you from buying it, as it is overall a great book- just know that you'll have to modify or totally ignore some sections.

Llevo más de 10 años montando eventos y la cantidad y calidad de los detalles de este libro es espectacular, para cualquier persona que quiera hacerse wedding planner o gestionar su propia boda, es un buen libro

I bought this for my recently-engaged best friend for an engagement gift basket. She said there was a lot of useful information on planning for newbies like us; she's the first from our group to take the plunge. I haven't read it personally, but for the price and decent content you can't really go wrong. Plus, I love The Knot!

Wer Bilder möchte, sucht hier vergebens. Bis auf ein paar Skizzen ist hier nicht viel gestalterisches zu entdecken. Wer allerdings Infos rund ums Thema haben will (und davon viel und aufs wesentliche beschränkt) wird viel Freude an dem Buch haben.

Questo libro è molto utile per le spose, ma ancora di più per chi vuole intraprendere la professione di Wedding Planner. Consigliatissimo

Ho preso questo libro perchè della collana The Knot. Probabilmente è interessantissimo, ma è in lingua inglese e con pochissime immagini. Adatto quindi a chi voglia "leggere" ( e sappia l'inglese) e non "guardare"....
