Wedding Crafts: 40 Charming Ideas for a Unique Personalized Wedding
- Book Review, by Lucinda Ganderton

Amazon.com
If you're planning a wedding and looking for elegant handmade touches, this is a great resource. But you need two qualifications to use this tempting book: previous sewing and/or craft experience and lots of time. Seasoned crafters with hours to spare will find solid instruction for the expected (stationery, ring pillow, floral headpieces, sachets, bonbonnières) and the unusual (jazzy vest for the groom, bow tie and cummerbund for the ring bearer, fairy-tale slippers for the flower girl, an organza-swathed hat, wedding cake tablecloth, elaborate gift-wrapping ideas). Each project includes estimated completion time; most average about two to four hours, while some take as much as eight or ten. As lovely as the ribbon-wrapped napkin rings may be, for instance, how many people can spare 30 hours to create enough for a 60-guest wedding? However, if you're looking for beautiful, sophisticated accessories and you have the time and the skills--or know someone who does--you'll enjoy this idea-filled guide. As a useful extra, the opening section offers a helpful planning countdown. --Amy Handy

The subtitle-40 charming ideas for a unique personalized wedding-says it all. Whether it's for yourself, a friend, or a relative, creating one or more of these clever crafts will enhance the joy of the wedding preparations. Ganderton has divided the book into sections that celebrate the different stages of the events that add up to a marriage. From "Early Preparations," such as creating a special photograph album, to "The Wedding Party"-how about a guaranteed-to-please handmade doll for the flower girl?-through "Treasured Memories," which tells how to make a Keepsake Box, the author has developed lovely and loving concepts.The steps needed to complete each project are clearly documented, and the color photographs accompanying each craft project help to make this book fun and easy to use.
