Today's society just doesn't do things like when I was married. Everyone I knew was pretty much married in the church they grew up in but I can't remember when I was invited to a wedding in the bride's home church and, more often than not, the ceremony hasn't take place in a church at all. The "venue" seems to be one of the most important decisions the bride makes for her special day. What was once a given decision has become one more thing to check off the list.
Whether you are interested in a garden wedding, seaside, your favorite city, or even a church, The Knot Outdoor Weddings will give you a plethora of ideas and advice ranging from seating to cakes to flowers to color recommendations and more. Each of the weddings featured falls under one of six venues: estate, waterside, garden, ranch, cityscape, or vineyard. Also included in the back of the volume is a 12 month checklist that will help you have everything ready for your wedding day.
While not quite at the point that my family is planning a wedding, that isn't too far in the future so I can see plenty of ideas my daughter will glean from The Knot. It is heavy on the photos, which are beautifully done, but may or may not be what a bride is looking for. In today's electronic world, you may be able to find as many ideas on-line. I know we will use it but this might be a better choice for a library or wedding planner than every bride at the $40 price tag.
I did receive this book free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I was in no way obligated to write a positive one.
