Weddings: Ideas & Inspirations for Celebrating in Style (Country Living)

Everybody has a little country in their heart, and this is for the bride who wants to embody the essence of country on her wedding day. Weddings presents page after page of evocative photos demonstrating how to infuse this most special of days with quintessential country touches that will appeal to a range of tastes. Broken into three sections—Choosing a Location, Designing the Day, and A Wedding Primer—brides are taken step by step through the planning of the perfect country wedding. Learn how to assess the pros and cons of various locations—both indoors and out—and the logistics involved, from setting up a catering area to obtaining the necessary permits. Then choose a theme and all the elements that go along with it, such as stationery, flowers, favors, and a wedding cake. And of course those important nitty-gritty details are here, too:  setting a budget, deciding whether or not to use a wedding planner, choosing vendors, and much more. Sidebars throughout give helpful tips and evocative photos prove that even the most “country” wedding can be polished, stylish, and sophisticated.
