Even You Can Have That Wedding of Your Dreams!!

Planning a Wonderful yet Affordable Wedding is a great read because it does not focus on every.single.detail. of planning a wedding. Only the most important parts are discussed and this can alleviate the stress that all brides find themselves experiencing while creating the biggest day of their lives. Everyone these days can afford to save some money. This doesn't mean that you have to miss out on having a fabulous wedding!!

Emma Buckley focuses on the main must haves for a wedding and offers creative alternatives. Creative alternative wedding venues are mentioned such as a wedding in a theater or favorite restaurant. Shopping online is suggested for the flower category and it is also one of the most common ways to shop these days ---especially for cost comparison such as this books title says (Affordable) The author focuses a little bit on the outdoors and natural settings that can be used for venue and create a beautiful backdrop /landscape of decoration.

This book offers solutions from the beginning of planning a wedding through the planning of your honeymoon. Perhaps a time line would be helpful to include in this book. I have read several wedding planning books and the whole process is very overwhelmingenough so that I almost am considering an elopement!

A good, general outline of events and the time they should be done by would be a great help.

The section of this book about pricing gives a good idea about the realistic costs of some of the most important parts of planning a wedding. The author could also include what is considered customary to offer for tips. How much do you tip the officiant? Is it required that you tip any of the wedding workers at all?

Mrs. Buckley has organized this eBook in easy to digest sections and offer tips in each category. I appreciate this books shortness and it leaves room for the bride to dream up her own affordable ideas using the books guidelines.
This book gives every bride the hope that she can have the wedding that she wants and not have to spend her familys life savings to create it.

I have a few "wedding" books (everyone gives u one when u get engaged) and its like they all say the same thing over and over but this one actually tells you different things about planning a destination wedding which I am finding is so different from one back home. Its such a fast read THANK GOD becuz it just gets down to business, I sat down and read it cover to cover and I felt like i had all the "insider" information not- I love how this author actually had her own destination wedding and she doesn't talk about all the fluff just kinda tells us scared brides exactly what to do to plan a really good wedding far from home so yes, my review is 100% happy to have found this book. i cant imagine any other book would have details like this one does, this is a must read for any bride planning a wedding far from home - i'm passing mine onto my roommate too!!! this gets 5 STARS WITHOUT A DOUBT!!!!!!!!

Adrielle Pyper is a wedding planner extraordinaire. It's all she's ever wanted to do and she's great at it. She has her own business, Adrielle Pyper's Dream Weddings, and she and her mom have a website, (mashedpotatoesandcrafts) where they post wedding planning ideas and her mom's craft how-to's. She's just expanded her business to include wedding dresses, but when the first shipment comes in one of the dresses is missing and another is damaged. An unexpected surprise turns up in one of the dresses, then the store is broken into and several of the new wedding dresses are stolen, along with the office's floor safe! What is going on?! Adri's got two celebrity weddings coming up in just a couple of months--she doesn't have time to be sidelined (or sidetracked) by all of the weird things that are happening.
I don't see how Adrielle held it together--between the strange things going on with the wedding dress shipment, the store being burglarized, threatening notes, a diva/bridezilla on the rampage, trying to figure out what's going on, she still had to plan two important weddings, and she's trying to figure out which guy she's really attracted to.
I changed my mind several times on who the guilty person was. Not to spoil anything, but some of the things that happened aren't related to the others. Hmm. I was totally surprised by the ending and how it connected to why she moved to Sun Valley, Idaho. I love that she adopted the stray kitten and how he ends up saving her and helping to catch the guilty party. The wedding and craft ideas at the beginning of each chapter are fun and I saved some of them.
Rachelle Christensen does a great job keeping the suspense going throughout the book and keeping you guessing who did it. I look forward to reading the other 2 books in this series.

This book showed how goofy weddings can get.  I'm SO very glad I'm old enough to never again be asked to be a bridesmaid!!!!!  In my day, we threw a shower, showed up for rehearsal, did the wedding and promised not to get drunk at the reception!!!

Heather Fowler is this close to getting everything she wants. As a child, she dreamed of living in NYC and becoming a successful wedding planner. As an assistant planner at the Wedding Belles, shes one high profile wedding away from making her dream a reality. If only her inconsiderate neighbor would cut the late night band rehearsal so she could get some much needed sleep.

You want to come in and talk about it?
Better idea. How about you go to bed like any normal person over the age of twenty-two, she snapped.
I thought youd never ask, he said, stepping aside and sweeping an arm inward as though to usher her inside.
Heather put a hand over her heart and made a dramatic gasping sound. You mean . . . you mean, a big handsome hunk like you would actually bed little old me?

A serious health scare set former workaholic Josh Tanner on the live in the moment path and hes never looked back. He makes his own schedule as a musician and only sleeps with women that know the score. No relationships, no repeats. Aggravating his cute new neighbor gives him something to look forward to and before long, mutual attraction gives way to a neighbors with benefits kind of deal.

 Going into this book, I wasn't quite sure how much I was going to enjoy it. As much as I like most everything I've read from Lauren Layne, there have been a few that just haven't worked for me. Ladies and Gents, I absolutely loved this one. Both individually and together, I thought Heather and Josh were fabulous, but they really shined as a couple. The banter and sense of friendship between the two made this story for me. Yes, Josh had his head up his posterior for a good portion of the story but he never took the clichd route I expected him to.

You might not love me yet, 4A, but you will, she whispered quietly before sitting up slightly to kiss his too-warm cheek. You will.

I have a confession to make: weddings aren't my bag. Ive never really gotten the hoopla surrounding them. I mean, my husband and I were seconds away from driving to Tahoe and eloping before our mothers talked us down from the ledge. I bring this up because despite the fact this book featured a bunch wedding planners talking shop, it in no way overwhelmed the story. I only had to sit through one discussion on pink distinction, and for that Ill be forever grateful.

For Better or Worse more than met my expectations for a fun and enjoyable read. As much this worked for me, I CANT WAIT to get my hands on Alexis and Logans book .Still waters run deep and I have a feeling were in for quite a treat with Logan.

I bought this as a gift for my best friend Joel, and we are (both!) having a ball using this book while we plan his wedding. It keeps you organized, it keeps you on track, and it keeps you smiling. It also shares some tips that I would have never thought of myself! I wish the book was out when I was planning for my wedding! I would have totally used it... and I'm a girl.

I highly recommend it!!

There is something refreshing and intriguing about a book that opens with a wedding and then gets to the good stuff!

I absolutely loved it!  Who knew that there was a way to plan a wedding on your own terms and be stress free?  It is more than obvious that the author has experience with the subject matter.  If you are getting married, read this book before you start the planning process, you'll be glad that you did.

This is a beautiful book that outlines and shows photographs of recent high society weddings.  The sites are extremely elegant and exclusive.  The book showcases what can be done by creative wedding planners who probably have no budget!  Gorgeous flowers, cakes, dresses, jewelry, hairstyles, etc. for the bride and groom who want to make a major statement.  This book covers it all from wedding invitations to flower girls.  If you want to have an extraordinary day and money isn't an object, this book has some wonderful ideas and resources.

What can I say? Gina has hit another home run with Rules of Engagement! And dare I say that I think this book is even better than Seducing Cinderella! (GASP!!)

If you have not read Seducing Cinderella, I highly recommend you reading it first before reading ROE. It will help set up the story nicely for you, filling you in on the characters a little more.

Lucie and Reid are heading to Hawaii for their dream wedding. Only one problem - Lucie gets sick with food poisoning before heading out to arrange the wedding details a week before the wedding. So in steps Maid of Honor and best friend Vanessa to save the day. With Reid's best friend, best man and future brother-in-law in Hawaii already, things should go smoothly right?

Things don't start off in the best way when Jax is late picking up Vanessa at the airport. Jax is taken back with Nessa and knows that he is slowly digging a whole bigger with each smirk and teasing he comes up with. Nessa is a rule follower, especially when it comes to guys. Yes, there is an attraction to Jax but when he starts off breaking a few of her cardinal rules for dating, she is totally turned off (kinda). In order to spend time with Nessa, Jax comes up with a little white lie telling Nessa that she must pose as Lucie, while he plays the part of Reid ~ otherwise this wedding is a no go.

The pull between Nessa and Jax is electric. They both feel it and both deny it. So Nessa decides the best way to get rid of it, is to have a fling with Jax (all within her rules) for 3 days. The fling starts to get hot and heavy and Jax knows he only has a few days to impress Nessa and get her to see that the rules are not necessary and a little on the crazy side.

Jax has the one week to the wedding to convince Nessa he is her guy.

I love love love this story! I am so glad that it was not edited down or cut. It is hot, steamy, romantic and pure sexy! I just didn't want it to end!

I was given an ARC copy of Rules of Engagement for an honest opinion.

I didn't want it to end the way it did.  The wedding was so much in the forefront for us readers.  The anticipation.  I still want more story, I want to keep reading about them, & how they face all the struggles ahead of them!!
