Beautiful in content and style

While planning my (Jewish) wedding I found it very difficult to find a book with ideas on both decorating and Jewish customs. Needless to say, I was thrilled when I found Jewish Weddings. The pages are beautifully laid out--a pleasure to read--and full of clever ideas. The prose is elegant as well. I learned a lot about more about Jewish customs (and I thought I knew a lot) and weaved many into our ceremony.It's an amazing book for all Jewish brides (and their families), whether they are reform or orthodox (like my family). I've now given the book as a shower gift as well, and I keep it on our coffee table too. Ms. Milos Brownstein's other book it worth checking out too. I've used many of her recipes and tabletop ideas while preparing for the holidays.
