  Planning a wedding is such an enormous task that it's nice to feel you're getting the very best advice from the most experienced professional. Alison Price is the quintessential party-giver, and takes you through every possible aspect of organising your big day, from knowing how to recognise a good reception venue to wording the invitations and drawing up the seating plan. Whether a grand affair for hundreds of guests or an intimate lunch for ten, the practicalities are all covered with checklists and planners to ensure nothing is forgotten and everything is done to budget, in time and without stress. The most important thing is that the wedding truly reflects the bride and bridegroom's personality and style, and therefore this book includes information on every kind of religious and civil ceremony, and shows you how you can subtly carry a theme through the clothes, food, flowers and entertainment, right down to the last detail. There are tips on diplomacy and advice on giving clear instructions to caterers, photographers, friends and family to ensure that everything comes together to make your wedding a day to remember.

  Planning a wedding is such an enormous task it can be hard to know where to start. This title goes through every step of organizing the occasion, from holding an engagement party to going on honeymoon. Whether a grand affair for hundreds of guests or a small intimate lunch for ten, all the practicalities of making wedding arrangements are covered. There is information on religious ceremonies, including Catholic, Anglican and Jewish, and there are handy hints for non-religious ones - in a registry office, a country house or even in a back garden. There are also ideas for venues, guest lists, caterers and florists.
