Terrific!!! Very helpful!

It is direct, to-the-point, and does not sugar-coat the advice that it gives to the bride-to-be.

Colin Cowie and Martha Stewart should take this frugal approach on their books.

Should Be Called "Avoid Bridal Scams"

This book was a wonderful help to me as I was planning my wedding... but what saved money (thus the Bargains part of the title) was how if helped me avoid common snags and scams that come from the bridal industry.

Well worth the money.

Since my fiancé and I are paying for our own wedding, we want to save every dollar we can, and this book let me know what questions to ask and where to shave off those extra costs.

BIG BUDGET OR SMALL, THIS IS THE WAY TO GO!

My husband and I had a "Fairy Tale Wedding" at the Walt Disney World Grand Floridian Resort (read: not a bargain!) We were able to afford such a lavish wedding (which we paid for ourselves) because we saved money based on suggestions taken DIRECTLY from "Bridal Bargains." We saved $300 on flowers, $600 on rings, $300 on the photographer, $150 on my gown, $200 on alterations, $100 on the veil...you get the idea. Run, don't walk, for your copy of "Bridal Bargains" and outsmart those wedding vendors who think you're willing to set all logic aside for the "happiest day of your life!"

Bridal Bargains, you saved my life!...and my bank account!

The best book of its kind (and from what I've found, the ONLY one), Bridal Bargains was an immensely useful tool in planning our small wedding.
