About Mrs. Orchid

I absolutely love this book.

Wedding Chic: The Savvy Bride's Guide to Getting More While Spending Less :  wedding books new york Wedding Chic.jpg

It’s savvy, stylish and well written, giving wonderful tips on how to save money and what to know before meeting with your vendors. The tone of this book is very light, making it fun and readable unlike your usual wedding how-to book drone. In each of the sections, the author not only goes through how to approach vendors to ensure that you don’t get ripped off, but also the alternative do-it-yourself methods as well.

I’ve had this book since we first got engaged, and I already have the pages all marked up with sticky flags everywhere. This book was definitely worth my $10. I already have some girlfriends that have dibs after I’m finished with it! :)

I love that book too!! I must’ve read through it at least 3 times while planning my wedding. It always helped me remember why I was getting married in the first place by placing priority on your friends, family, and future spouse. It brings you back down to Earth when the pressure to be the next Martha Stewart gets stressful.

Now that I’m a wedding consultant, I’ve bought several copies of the book and give them out to random clients when they need it. They’re always very appreciative and love it just as much as I do!

While it’s DEFINITELY worth the $10, there’s several copies on http://www.half.com for under a dollar. What a steal!
