The three biggest trends in weddings today are simplicity,
personalization, and color. Wedding design expert Karen
Bussen highlights these elements as she shows couples how to
design their own weddings without going crazy or broke.
Simple Stunning Weddings is the first wedding
design book to focus on the where of the wedding. Location
is the first and most important decision brides and grooms
must make: everything else flows from that. Bussen showcases
12 popular wedding settings, including the city loft,
country inn, art gallery, botanic garden, and private club,
and demonstrates how to make them extraordinary. With the
site as the starting point, she creates unifying themes with
color, flowers, and personal touches. She explains how to
deal with vendors, how to spend the wedding budget, and when
it makes sense to hire a specialist.
Sharing all her
trade secrets, Bussen teaches the power of simplicity and
the impact of color, which can be tailored to any budget,
always to stunning effect: substituting cotton tablecloths
for silk in the same eye-dazzling color combinations, for
example, or creating striking flower arrangements using only
one or two types of blooms. Whether for a barefoot union on
a beach or a formal affair in a hotel ballroom, this fully
illustrated, information-filled book is like having Bussen
on hand as your personal wedding designer. AUTHOR BIO: KAREN
