The
Bride Revealed - An Intimate Look Behind
the Wedding Veil
by Leslie Barton and Sheri Leigh
Myers |
OUR
REVIEW:
The skill depicted by expert photographer
Leslie Barton with her behind-the-scenes
pictures is remarkable. The
Bride Revealed - An Intimate Look Behind
the Wedding Veil is smartly
paired with candid quotes gathered from
real brides-to be. Though the quotes,
as narrated by screenwriter and activist
Sheri Leigh Myers, are not meant to
be matches, they pretty much sum up
a beautiful mix of grace, humor, sexiness
and emotion. A marvelous collaboration
by Leslie Barton and Sheri Leigh Myers.
The Bride Revealed would
make an ideal gift for any bride-to-be.

The
Wedding of Cathy and Irving
A Cathy Collection by Cathy Guisewite |
OUR REVIEW:
A Smorgasbord of Cathy comic strips
celebrating the year that started with
her surprised "ringbox find".
The
Wedding of Cathy and Irving - A Cathy
Collection by Cathy Guisewite is
pure "tickle your funny bone"
material. This soft cover book makes
for an especially nice gift to a bride-to-be,
taking the edge off the upcoming stress
of planning a wedding. Author Cathy
Guisewite writes of humorous situations
using her unique, creative and comical
imagination. |

Shower Memories | by Sandra Bark |
OUR
REVIEW:
Bridal
Shower Memories is a quaint bridal
journal/diary keepsake for the engaged gal.
There is a charming story about the history
of the bridal shower to start you off. Plenty
of space to write down guests names and addresses,
gifts and more. For years to come, you'll
have fun reading words of advice from those
attending. Bring this journal out again to
share with your own grown children when they
decide to wed. |

| Occasions,
Style, and Manners | by Kate Spade
| visit
author's web site |
OUR
REVIEW:
This trio of lifestyle books by Kate Spade
(the well-known handbag designer) will make
for some interesting conversation. You
may or may not like her interpretations of
entertaining, style temperaments, or manners.
Her convictions seem to point into the direction
of being snobbish. Many of us would love to
know more about how to entertain with ease,
possess a great sense of style or to be concerned
with proper decorum, I'm just not sure Occasions
(red book), Style
(green book), and Manners
(blue book) by Kate Spade should have
the power to influence readers. With those
statements having been made, the emphasis
for writing these lifestyle books should be
that they were designed to be helpful and
for use as a guide. She has a sassy writing
style combined with bits of trivia nonsense
(for example, if you ever need to know how
to say a drinking cheer in Zulu, it's in Occasions).
All the water color illustrations are nice
to look at, but the reading print is too small. |

| Wedding
Anniversaries | by Cookie Lee |
OUR
REVIEW:
Wedding
Anniversaries from Paper to Diamond
is an exploration into the symbols that mark
each year of marriage - both the traditional
gift as well as the modern anniversary list.
There is also an old english rhyme of the
meaning of the months of marriage.
Each anniversary symbol is depicted with gorgeous
full-color photographs and is accompanied
with love poetry and prose.
The books makes the perfect gift for the
newlywed, the forever romantic, or for an
anniversary. |

REVIEW:
Bridal
Bouquets is a beautifully photographed
source book of ideas and styles that are guaranteed
to help you pick the flowers that are just

There are three main parts to this book:

themes - making it very easy to find what

This book is a definite must have when
deciding on your wedding flowers and when
you meet with your potential florists. |

| Going
Bridal | by Li Robbins |
OUR
REVIEW:
Going
Bridal - How to Get Married Without Losing
Your Mind
is a rambo-like approach at keeping
prospective brides sane. Very different.
Not your average guide on how to get everything
done. Mixing fiction with non-fiction, the
author tries hard to be funny, with some success,
but with so much text in parenthesis, you
can get confused deciphering her wit. Once
you get the hang of her style it goes pretty
well – saving this reviewer from "going
nuts". |
