Today's bride is a very different creature from her predecessors. Statistics show that modern women are getting married later in life, covering all or at least some of the cost of the day themselves, have a sense of personal style and know who they are and what they enjoy. They are less influenced by their families and feel they can choose where, when and how to get married with much greater freedom thanever before. Until now there has been a chronic lack of information available for brides wanting to do things their way, but two top bridal consultants bring all the advice you need together in one fun-packed volume. Basics such as setting budgets, choosing THAT dress, and finding the right location are all covered, plus the book features sections on flowers, hair and beauty, catering and much more. Hundreds of additional inspiring ideas for theming your day and making it unique are presented in handy checklists and at-a-glance guides and also included are fun celebrity tips (including words of wisdom from top chefs, florists and designers). Featuring a comprehensive sources section with 1000s of useful contacts and websites, 21st CENTURY BRIDE is any women's ultimate wedding investment.
