Martha Stewart's Keepsake Wedding Planner Ring-bound – August 26, 2003

The 3-ring binder format of this planner (found in very few planners) make this planner extremely useful. We are able to keep all our contracts together in it. Plus, any other papers (e.g., I printed out some ceremony readings, punched holes in them, and put them in the binder) There is also handy storage for business cards. There are gorgeous, glossy full color photos. I can't stress enough how practical and functional the 3-ring binder format is. However, I would suggest a companion planner to go along with this that includes things this one left out, such as The Anti-Bride Wedding Planner by Gerin/Hughes/Hornick. (I bought and looked at a ton of planners, and not one of them "had it all") Still the best, but it could have included more. More worksheets could have been included (for example, lists of questions to ask each vendor, for one thing), and instead of one worksheet for each category that is included, with a notation to "make photocopies as needed", it seems the book would have been more "helpful" (it's goal) and a better value to have just included multiple copies of each. If you love Martha Stewart you will enjoy this planner, but probably with a companion planner to one that includes some of the things this one leaves out. It's a very elegant and beautiful keepsake.I edited the review 4 months into my wedding planning, because this planner turned out to be a lot more helpful than I initially realized it would be. My previous review was lukewarm, but after 4 months of serious planning and 7 vendors hired, I am appreciating this planner's usefulness. I looked at 15+ planners. I bought 4 planners. 2 of the 4 I bought I threw away - I thought they'd be useful but they weren't. Now I use both Martha Stewart and Anti-Bride. Neither would be enough alone, but they are great companions. No one planner out there "gets it" yet.

For devotees, this planner yet another great addition to the library of Martha. I am planning my wedding for June 2007 and use it to keep track of all my "current" clippings, vendors and planning notes. Though I do like the included planning sections, most modern brides will find themselves keeping track of their guests/budget/vendors on spreadsheets so all the extra creamy white pages will probably be discarded.The overall design and feel of the binder is wonderful and truly elegant without being cheesy and is definitely a keepsake to treasure after your wedding. There are numerous sections all covering the different aspects of planning a wedding with lots of helpful advice. Maybe too much. All of the pages add up and make for less room of your own stuff and after reading a season of magazines, you'll probably have all the basics memorized anyway.However, the section on flowers is particularly helpful as it features page after page of beautiful glossy photos of different flowers all broken out by color. But be sure to check that the flower names are correct as I have found some alternate names for specific flowers. The major complaint about this binder is that it is too small and quite flimsy. The cover is constantly sliding all over the place as its binding to the spine is too loose and the elastic band doesn't do much to keep it together.Overall, one of the best planner binders out there. Elegant, simple and classic.

This was the third (and most complete) wedding planner I bought...I bought Emily Post's Wedding Planner, which has a bit of helpful etiquette and tradition and some useful forms.I also bought, and returned, The Knot's Ultimate Wedding Planner, which was a grave disappointment.I ALSO bought a small 3-ring binder for sketches and clippings.Martha Stewart's planner has it all.It is the most concise, complete, helpful and beautiful.What sets this planner apart is the format: it's a 1-1/2 inch 3-ring binder, which fits letter-sized paper!It provides convention, tradition, etiquette, forms, and I can add all of my sketches and vendor documents.The design concept is quintessential understated elegance - a celadon green satiny exterior with a matching cloth "binding."It's large enough - plenty of room for copies of pages (get used to making copies for the contacts and guest list).It comes with 2 zip-lock letter sized pockets, a sheet of business card pockets, and six one-sided paper pockets.It has quite a bit of helpful information regarding invitation, seating, and procession conventions, with illustrations and diagrams.The photographs are plenty and supplementary - never overdone or simply to look nice.Speaking of pretty pictures, Martha Stewart's wedding planner is a great "companion," as the editors put it, to her Best of Weddings book.Between the two I honestly do not feel the need for any bridal magazines.I do wish I would have purchased this planner first, as I am not using the Emily Post planner anymore!You will be impressed and relieved with both the quality and the quantity this essential resource embodies and encompasses.I recommend:Martha Stewart's Keepsake Wedding Planner - Great for solidifying ideas.The Best of Martha Stewart Living Weddings - Great for ideas!Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette - A MUST for anyone getting married, part of a wedding, or invited to a wedding.The Knot Guide to Wedding Vows and Traditions - Surprisingly insightful.

Speravo in una illustrazione più ampia di alcuni allestimenti in location di prestigio o allestimenti diversi in location particolari è una raccolta di alcune pagine di riviste che ho già sfogliato

Ich würde dieses Buch nicht noch einmal kaufen, da es absolut nichts Neues zu erfahren gibt.Das Buch kommt zwar mit einer schönen Gestaltung daher, aber vom Inhalt her nicht zu empfehlen, es sei denn man ist absoluter Martha Stewart-Fan. Ich hatte mir mehr Tipps erhofft, aber es stand schon nach dem ersten Mal durchgucken im Schrank und wurde seither nicht nochmal hergeholt.

ブライダルプランナーの手引書ってカンジです。もちろん、英語の解説書なので、文章はよくわかりませんが、写真を見ているだけでも充分です。やっぱり、日本のこのての本に比べるとセンスがぜんぜんちがいます。しかも「本」というのではなくて、バインダー形式ですので中に自分の資料をどんどん挟んで、プラスていけます。とにかく、そういう方面の仕事の方にお勧めです。

Premetto che non l'ho letto ma ho comprato questo libro per regalarlo alla mia compagna, che è un'appassionata del tema. Vi riporto le sua testuali parole (al termine della lettura): "è un libro MOLTO bello!"Consigliatissimo... ma solo a chi non ha problemi a leggere in inglese.

Ho trovato questo volume veramente utile,anche se molte cose qui in Italia non usano. Un vero raccoglitore pratico per chi si cimenta nel organizzare il proprio matrimonio e, conosce l'inglese
