    Simple Stunning Weddings: Designing and Creating Your Perfect Celebrationdescription


    Description
    Product Description:
      The three biggest trends in weddings today are simplicity, personalization, and color. Wedding design expert Karen Bussen highlights these elements as she shows couples how to design their own weddings without going crazy or broke.

    Simple Stunning Weddings is the first wedding design book to focus on the where of the wedding. Location is the first and most important decision brides and grooms must make: everything else flows from that. Bussen showcases 12 popular wedding settings, including the city loft, country inn, art gallery, botanic garden, and private club, and demonstrates how to make them extraordinary. With the site as the starting point, she creates unifying themes with color, flowers, and personal touches. She explains how to deal with vendors, how to spend the wedding budget, and when it makes sense to hire a specialist.

    Sharing all her trade secrets, Bussen teaches the power of simplicity and the impact of color, which can be tailored to any budget, always to stunning effect: substituting cotton tablecloths for silk in the same eye-dazzling color combinations, for example, or creating striking flower arrangements using only one or two types of blooms. Whether for a barefoot union on a beach or a formal affair in a hotel ballroom, this fully illustrated, information-filled book is like having Bussen on hand as your personal wedding designer. AUTHOR BIO: KAREN BUSSEN is one of Manhattan's most exciting wedding designers. Her work has been featured in such magazines as Modern Bride, Martha Stewart Weddings, Home, Food & Wine, and Interior Design. In the past six years, she has designed more than 100 weddings.

    ELLEN SILVERMAN's photographs have appeared in Charmed Bracelets and New Soul Cooking (both STC).

    Great Book, Stunning Photos - 5 stars
    Simple Stunning Weddings: Designing and Creating Your Perfect Celebration Review
    This book was the creative backbone of my wedding in early 2009. Its stunning pictures are so detailed, and you will be able to pull so many ideas from each chapter. I just found mine the other day, and it had about 50 sticky notes all around. Truly a great book.
    Splendid! - 5 stars
    Simple Stunning Weddings: Designing and Creating Your Perfect Celebration Review
    This book provides great inspiration with wedding planning, with sections on different types of venues. The photos are plenty and vivid with wonderful suggestions that offer timeless simplicity but excellent style. I keep referring to the book throughout my planning to inspire and re-inspire.
    Classic Ideas - 5 stars
    Simple Stunning Weddings: Designing and Creating Your Perfect Celebration Review
    If you are looking for unique and simple ideas for your wedding, or really any party, this is a perfect book. So many weddings now have the huge over powering centerpieces, if that is not your style this is an awesome book for you.
    Great -- and surprisingly budget friendly -- advice - 5 stars
    Simple Stunning Weddings: Designing and Creating Your Perfect Celebration Review
    This was by far my favorite design book that I used for planning my wedding; I read it multiple times. It not only has wonderful, inspiring photographs, but it also gives great design and planning advice that is easily applicable no matter what venue, or what budget you have. I was surprised that such a pretty coffee table book could be filled with substantive advice on how to make your wedding meaningful and memorable rather than a crude celebration of stuff. It's so refreshing to find a book that is useful for setting the theme/mood of a wedding even if you don't have thousands to spend.
    Nice book - 4 stars
    Simple Stunning Weddings: Designing and Creating Your Perfect Celebration Review
    Nice book, nice quality photos. Not the best book in the world, but I did pick up a great idea from it, so...
