Thank you! your review was submitted
Bought this as an engagement gift for my cousin. She absolutely loved it and feels that this is a binder you should have in your beginning process especially if you were not going to have a wedding planner. Being that this is a binder it allows you to take pages out of add pages in, instead of just a book that wouldn’t make it as easy to add or take away from.It gives you all the items you should be thinking about or wouldn’t need help with. And it’s also something great to look back on and see all the things that you worked on for your wedding. Bought this as an engagement gift for my cousin.

This is a great informative binder for anyone trying to organize their own wedding. Mine arrived in perfect condition. It came with the shrink wrap still on it. The binder rings were protected by a piece of cardboard. When I started flipping through some of the pages I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the paper.We are on a budget (and I assume most people are). So incorporating a wedding planner into it isn't in our best interest. Besides the fact it would mean more to me to plan my own wedding. But let's be real, I don't know everything there is to know about planning a wedding (as much as I'd like to believe that) and I don't have a bottomless budget. So of course I'd love to have a little bit of direction.So let's get to some of the reasons I really enjoy and some that I wish were a little better about this organizer:+ (POSITIVE) I really have to give a huge credit to the author for going into detail about what to ask the people you are hiring! This is so important. I do photography as a hobby, but I do network with a lot of people who do (specifically) wedding photography as their main source of income. All these questions are really important to ask up front. But the author has given you the tools to ask the right questions that can tell you if you're hiring the right person (I'm not just talking about the photographers). Things I honestly wouldn't even think to ask and are definitely things I wouldn't want to be worrying about on the day of. Example (questions about the venue); Will the manager be present to oversee your reception to the end? Or... Does the room have adequate outlets (and power) for food, lighting, and audio needs? Like, seriously... I would have sat there like a lump on a log and took in whatever information they gave me and left it at that.- (NEGATIVE) So, this is more of a suggestion than anything. Those question pages for the people you hire have such a small space to write extra notes down. My writing is not that small. I'm thinking when it comes time to meet with certain vendors I will end up numbering each question then adding a lined page and if I have something extra to note about a specific question I can number it there and write down what I need. Which brings me to my next positive...+ It's a binder! Guys. You can add things and remove things easily. Not having a big wedding (like myself)? We're not going to have a lot of the "traditional" pre-wedding parties. Not even a rehearsal dinner. So that entire section can pretty much go bye-bye. So I can just take them out. And, if I decide to have one later on, I can just pop it back in. Want to add in photos of your dream gown? You absolutely can. It's extremely customizable.+ This binder is super flexible. What I mean by that is it doesn't make you feel like you have to do your wedding one way or another. The author has gone to great lengths to make sure your wedding is done the way you want to do it. Want a big wedding to match your big sparkly princess ballgown? This binder has it all. Want a small intimate wedding with a 30 person guest list (ME!)? This binder is for you too.+ Easy and interactive! I must be the definition of a simple-minded-neanderthal when it comes to planning big things. I don't like pages filled with wall of text it gets me disinterested and this binder would find itself in a dusty corner very quickly. It's got plenty of useful diagrams and pictures to guide you along. It also includes a ton of neat little checklists.Overall, I'm really happy I got this. My wedding isn't for another year and a half but I'm already coming up with ideas to make it easier on myself. I'll give an update after everything is said and done. Happy planning!Update March 22, 2020: Wow! I can't believe how popular this review has become thank you! I just wanted to give a really quick update. We still haven't had our ceremony as of yet because we have decided to delay it. I ended up getting braces so on the big day I could smile for the camera. Our wedding is now going to probably not be until 2022. I'm just really happy and humbled that people thought this review helped them to make a decision. Once again I will definately update when we finally have our ceremony.

I bought this as an engagement gift. It’s a sturdy, quality made three ring binder full of guides, timelines, steps and tips for planning a wedding. The recipients used it right away and have thanked me many times for giving it to them. They find it extremely helpful because it lays everything out in an organized, prioritized manner. A NOTE ABOUT THE COVER: If you aren’t a fan of the somewhat cheap looking pictures on the front, the whole thing is a sticker and peels right off revealing a clean, classic cover.

I ordered this book and several others so that I could see which one I liked. This wedding book is by far the best! I love that it includes a sheet of colors to help with picking your wedding colors. The wedding planning timeline is also a very helpful tool; it wasn’t the normal one you see on every website. This one is very detailed! There are formulas for budgeting your wedding based on how much you can contribute to save, etc. I love this book because of the details compared to the other books like it. It gives you questions to ask your hairstylists, makeup artists, etc. This book will not let you forget anything!!

This book has everything you could ever need for a wedding. I am on a budget-wedding and this is saving me so much hassle because I cant afford an actual wedding planner. The book has everything from seating charts, to contact information for everyone you will be in contact with, to a timeline and budgeting forms, to inspiration for anything and everything. You can check off what each person in the wedding party has the responsibility of doing. It has a vows section as well as information on cakes, dresses and male attire. It is such a helpful book and the binder form allows you to add pages if you can possibly think of anything else you need or if you have to copy pages for contact information.

I opted for the binder as I like the idea of extra space and that the fact it's more detail oriented. Yes, I'm not planning on having a "fairy tale" wedding like some have mentioned for the binder, but I'm a very organized person. My binder came in PERFECT condition! I scanned through the binder and everything is colored beautifully, sample pictures are fantastic, has tabs for separate sections, and has room if you need to add more. I cannot wait to dive into the binder more as planning picks up!! I am beyond thrilled with this purchase.

I'm a maid of honor, got this for my bride when she got engaged! She loves it!!!!I strongly suggest making a copy of the entire book before writing in it though, especially if you want to keep it looking nice.There are also quite a few pages the book tells you that you have to make copies of because there aren't enough spaces for the number of entries you will have. I'm not sure why they don't just include the copies they tell you that you need to make...

This planner is pretty much my Bible. Once we got engaged, I knew that we would be planning this wedding primarily on our own. We can't afford a planners services and I'm all about DIY - which is actually going really well for us with 8 months to go! This breaks everything down and gives insight into vendors and what you should be asking or looking for. While a good portion of sections don't apply to us, I still think this is a great thing to have if you're on a budget and not hiring a planner.I take it to work everyday and I love that it includes checklists and samples of budget breakdowns and all that fun stuff. I don't know about you, but I love making lists just so I can check things off but this makes me feel like I'm taking no prisoners! Anytime I come to a decision or hire a vendor or whatever, I open this up and check it off the timeline list. If I haven't made any progress in a couple weeks, I still look back at it to see where we are in terms of available time and final decisions.I ordered this like 2 weeks after we got engaged and when this showed up in the mail and I opened it; my fiancé literally shook his head and told me I was insane. Little does HE know that this thing has made planning a wedding (mostly on my own as he is extremely hands off and works swing shifts) as stress-free for me as it can get right now. I've added some sections and taken out sections that aren't applicable and I hole punch every vendor quote or email I get and place them in the correlating section. I've also made copies of the provided floor plans and made several layouts to determine which works best with our venue, and I've gleaned some pretty neat information from this. You can really use this binder to your advantage even if you aren't planning a big budget wedding, or you're having a more intimate wedding, or even if you're still using a wedding planner! You can tweak this to fit your needs and I honestly would not know what to do without this, this has helped keep me on track and even ahead of schedule.I will say this: planning a wedding can become all-consuming. For example, if you're like me and say : you and your honey decide to take a long weekend trip to the mountains in October and it's August, and then you obsess over planning EVERY.SINGLE.DETAIL until you actually leave - you're going to be exhausted. You're going to be so burnt out from planning what time you leave, what time you get back, triple checking your Airbnb reservations, making dinner plans for at least one night, what you're going to pack and "is the weather going to cold?" and all that crap, that you're not actually going to enjoy yourself. That's how I am; once a decision has been made to do something, I have to see the plans through to the very end to give myself peace of mind. I started off planning this wedding that way and realized that I wasn't doing myself any favors by constantly looking at this planner and following its timeline checklist. I eventually put the planner away for about a month and then went back to it with some clarity. Make sure you give yourself a break from planning every so often :)
