Lots of Helpful Advice!

This book gives very helpful advice on what NOT to do in every area of your wedding planning. I definitely recommend it!

A fabulous book! So important to avoid wedding mistakes!

This book is FABULOUS! It helps to prevent so many problems associated with weddings -- with guests, with the bridal party, even with the wedding experts who are working on all of the plans. What a genius idea to list 150 of the most common -- and most unexpected -- wedding conflicts, and then have a great wedding expert tell you how to prevent them, or how to prevent things from getting worse if someone does act badly during your wedding plans. If you want to avoid wedding stress and conflicts, if you want to protect your (or your daughter's) big day from mistakes, get this book! It PREVENTS negativity and stress! Love it!

A GEM! Naylor's advise could save you thousands!

I love this book! The first half of the book is absoulutely essential to read before you even sign that first check. The second half is all the essential stuff about planning, but takes the twist of telling you not what to do, but rather what to AVOID. I hope that you read this book so you don't have to learn lessons the hard way. Being in the bridal business I expected to know all the lessons already when I read it but I learned so much! This book is an ABSOLUTE GEM and Naylor definitely shows her expertise as she is known as "America's Foremost Wedding Author." Make this your first purchase for your wedding! Bride's Survival Guide will save you money and time, but most importantly it will help you preserve relationships!
