Joyful, love-filled weddings are created with the details that make the couple unique.

   • 17 never-before-seen Real-Life Weddings—with details on all their special and handcrafted touches, and advice from the brides 
   • 5 Style Blueprints to help you custom-craft your own Classic, Rustic, Whimsical, Modern, or Al Fresco wedding, from paper goods to the cake 
   • 15 Do It Yourself projects, such as glittered vases, linen favor bags, and dip-dyed ombré napkins 

Full of lively and oh-so-lovely ideas, and more than 250 photographs, this swoonworthy volume will help you distill the wide world of wedding inspiration into the most meaningful, utterly original day you can imagine.
