Another book we added to our collection when looking for flowers. Was looking at this for my wife for our wedding. Had a great selection of pictures and helped us with choosing the flowers we wanted to go with on our wedding day. If you are getting married its a great book to have.

I have sticky-tab bookmarks on at least 18 pages of ideas we plan to incorporate into our wedding. Most of the ideas we are going to modify in some way, but it sure helps to have a beautifully detailed and photo-illustrated guide to tasteful touches for a wedding. You might not need this book if you already know 1-2-3 what you want for your cookie-cutter event, but if you want to make it special and a touch above, this book is a great way to get your creative juices flowing!

This was just "alright" I wanted to have a real book to give me original ideas for my wedding but... Almost everything in this book I had already seen online. Like most information now a days, nothing beats the internet (Pinterest) for unlimited original ideas. I ended up giving this away to a friend after my wedding. This may be good for someone who is not computer savvy or who prefers books...

3.0 out of 5 stars アメリカの手作りウエディング
Reviewed in Japan on May 12, 2004
Verified Purchase
マーサやメリーさんの本より、全体的に手作りな要素が強く、
プロのコーディネイターに依頼する時の資料としてよりは、
自分で何でも作っちゃいたい花嫁の参考になるのではないか
と思います。
すべてのアイデアに作り方が解説してありますし、
材料は日本の雑貨店などで揃いそうなものばかりです。
洗練された、というより素朴・温かみのある、といった表現が
適切だと思います。でも決して子供っぽくはありません。
ページをめくっていると、アメリカ人の手作り派の
大人の花嫁の姿が連想されます。
キャンドルやランタンの飾りのバリエーション、
テーブルナンバーや席へのエスコートカードのアイデア
など、日本人があまり目を向けない
それこそディテールに関するアイデアが豊富です。
私は不器用ですし、マメな方ではないので、
星3つとしましたが、器用でこまめな方にとっては
すごく楽しい本だと思いますよ。

日本ではまだちょっと見かけないようなアイテムもありましたが、どれもデザインが良く、ちょっと頑張れば作れそうなものばかり。それぞれステキな写真と材料・詳しい作り方の説明付きで紹介されています。ホテルの豪華なバンケットルームではなく、ガーデンやカジュアルなレストランなら、きっとアイテムのセンスも光ると思います。
