Product description

Whether you're newly engaged or haven't quite made anything official yet, but you know you want to spend your lives together, you're going to need help planning your wedding. When you're ready to take a deep breath and start, this is the book you want--need--to have. From figuring out what you really want--as opposed to what everyone else thinks you should want--to helping you keep an eye on the ceremony itself and the vows, Meg Keene, founder of apracticalwedding.com, covers all the essentials.

Set a budget--and stick to it
Choose a venue: traditional, non-traditional, and everything in between
Hire good vendors and keep your friendors (and tells you why DIY doesn't always save money)
Figure out catering, rentals, and everything else Pinterest forgot to tell you
Reality-check wedding dér
Create and write a ceremony that really represents both of you
Get everyone to show up...and have a good time
