The Knot Ultimate Wedding Planner [Revised Edition]: Worksheets, Checklists, Etiquette, Timelines, and Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

I literally wish I had a camera so that I could upload photos. But trust me, as a person who has bought several planners only to return them once I received them I WILL NOT be returning this one. Its absolutely fantastic. It truly holds your hand as you walk through the planning process. It gives you little worksheets to fill out so that you can nail down exactly what it is that you like. Also I think it pairs very well with the app. The app allows you to visualize things that the planner helped you decide on.The planner in itself is a paperback and its about 7 1/4 X 9 inches.I would 10 out of 10 recommend to any bride.

I love The Knot wedding books. This one had everything I was looking for to help my friend with her wedding.

This book was a great help for a bride like me who: (1) has no experience whatsoever with wedding planning; and (2) isn't very good at planning any kind of party. It really does explain every single step you need to take in order to plan a wedding, even describing "decisions" most brides won't ever need to make, but it just gives you the option (for example, it gives advice on how to create a wedding planning committee amongst your friends and family....My fiance and I are the only members of our committee!).But it gives VERY helpful checklists, timelines (which eases a lot of stress to know how much time you really have to do this wedding thing), and advice pages (e.g. "how to pick your bridesmaids" etc.)I would describe this book as essential for brides who need help, lack experience, and/or feel overwhelmed at the prospect of wedding planning. However, I only give this book only four stars for a few reasons. First, for how much it costs, it could at least be in color. I mean, come on. Second, I still ended up making my own wedding planning binder, and only about 20% of it is pages from this book. I used the timelines, the seating chart template, and some of the contact person pages as tear outs and put them in my binder. So you still end up having to build a lot of it yourself.So although I think this book is a must-have for most brides, I wouldn't describe it as a one-stop-shop. You still need to use the helpful pages as part your own wedding planning binder, where you keep your contracts, email conversations, notes, and "lookbooks" for dresses, hair, etc.Good luck planning your weddings, though! It's so much fun. :)

It’s not a very big book , I should have read the size . So I just ordered another one that’s a binder . My only son is getting married and I’m sooo excited ! Thank you !

This is the only planning guide I used for my wedding. This book is full of checklists (which I love) and places to write notes about vendors and other items (which I did not use, but may be useful for other brides-to-be). I like that the planner includes tips/questions to ask vendors. My favorite part is the timeline that has suggestions for when to complete the various components of wedding planning, including things that I just didn't think about or consider that I would need when I first started planning. There is even a fast-track timeline for couples planning a wedding in less than six months.

Love the planner. It does a perfect job breaking things down and allows you to focus on what’s important and what you don’t need or doesn’t pertain to you can always be disregarded. However, I didn’t like that is black and white and I feel that for the price it should come in color, the cover can be deceiving since it has color. I also would’ve loved if it had tabs. I had to make my own with post it sticky notes. But it works and it does the job.

I know you can get most of this book online for free from their website but it really was worth the purchase for me. I like just having it out and organized already. I am still at the first stages of planning my wedding but the checklists and to do lists have helped me stay somewhat sane. It was worth the money to not have to deal with the added stress of printing and organizing a binder for my planning.

Bought this for my son's fiance. This looks like it covers everything you would need to know. Great resource!
