'The Wedding Diaries: How to Get Married in Style Without Breaking the Bank'
Laura Bloom
White Ladder Press

This helpful guide to planning a wedding without going broke manages both to entertain (think Bridget Jones' Diary) and inform. By relating her own detailed experiences of preparing for her big day, Laura Bloom gives wonderful advice on how to have an exceptional wedding day and not go to debtor's prison. To say its all in the early planning might be too simplistic, but it does ring quite true. By following Laura's amazing wedding-organising journey (including delegating to others) we learn how she was able to keep avoidable stress at bay and give herself and her groom the opportunity to enjoy their magical day together with family and friends.

Between the diaries useful and frequently humorous anecdotes are incorporated various lists and tips from the best way to do something and when to do it, to 'Time Management', 'Estimated Budget' and numerous subtopics under the heading 'Dress for Success', such as 'The Gown', 'Bridesmaids', 'Men's Hire', etc. These lists give you an idea of not only different options with regards to personal preference and style - not just Laura's choices - but also approximate costs of these variations, from the low to high end. In addition to her To Do Lists, Tips and Best Buys, Laura also covers flowers, catering, wedding insurance, music, transport, venues, hair and make-up and just about every other relevant wedding-related topic you would want to add to your list. And all while we're enjoying this amusing read.

Read it and find out how Laura threw a fantastic traditional wedding for less than half of the national average cost. A thoroughly enjoyable book.
