Sharon Naylor really knows what she's talking about! Great book! Don't miss out on the fantastic ideas and website suggestions.

Full Of Wonderful Cost Cutting Ideas.....

As a bride2be I am very glad books like this exsist, because like many of you my soon to be groom and I dont have a large budget to throw this wonderful fantastic never to be forgotten wedding and reception, were both two hard working people with bills to pay. We want a wonderful wedding but within cost reason no sense in going overboard, were practical the $$ could be used best elsewhere, yet it is "my" day and I want it to be special, I want to be the princess I've always dreamed of being, and thanks to budget minded books like this one I can have my cake and eat it too with a lil $$ to spare.....!

1001 Ways...

I thought this was a good book. Wearing an old pair of shoes may seem far-fetched to some, but when you are just starting out, getting little or no help from your family, and trying desperately to plan a wedding for less than $5K, some of the ideas that seem far-fetched to some are perfectly reasonable to me. This book was written to cater to any bride, no matter her budget, who is trying to save money. Some tips will work for those who have $10K to spend, some are aimed at those who have next to nothing. Do not think its a terrible book because some of the ideas seem cheap to you. I think this is a well balanced book for all ranges of budgets.

1001 Ways to Save Money and Still Have a Dazzling Wedding

Over the period of 8 months or so, I have been actively involved in assisting my daugher, Melissa, plan her wedding. Sharon's first book entitled, "Mother of the Bride Handbook", proved to be a definite must when addressing questions to protocol and etiquette. However, "1001 Ways to Save Money" offered tips on how to seek value in preparation without looking as if cost were the No. 1 priority. Information on seasonal flowers was most helpful. Sharon offers tips on how to be kind but firm in dealing with inflexible individuals. This book offers insight into how to tactfully handle situations that could pose a difficulty with inter-personal relationships with families, as well as dealing with issues with regard to finances.This is a book not to be overlooked when planning a wedding.It allows you viable alternatives to making selections for wedding preparations that otherwise would be out of reach.It clearly presents choices that deal with the wedding venue. Indeed, this book will help you to obtain the most for your money.

NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR ABOUT NEW REVISED VERSION!

Hello everyone, and thank you for considering my book 1001 Ways to Save Money and Still Have a Dazzling Wedding. I just wanted to let you know that this is the 1994 version, and although it's still selling well and still gathering great reviews, it is a little outdated. So just look back at my listing of books and click on the newly revised edition of this book, which is available now, so that you can get the most updated information and website listings possible. Thanks again, and best of luck with your wedding!
