Just around this time of year—in anticipation of the upcoming spring/summer wedding season—the book blitz begins at Bridal Guide and we receive lots of tomes on all things wedding-related—from flowers to cakes to planning. One such publication came across my desk recently and it’s a great read. Stylish Weddings for Less: How to Plan Your Dream Wedding on a Budget by Catherine Sabino (Filipacchi Publishing) is guaranteed to calm your nerves as you discover how to plan a fun, chic wedding and still save some coin.

Just as we do in Bridal Guide, Ms. Sabino (full disclosure: Catherine is a former magazine colleague of mine and a terrific editor) features real couples’ weddings, breaks down their budgets, offers invaluable advice and takes you through the entire wedding planning process with ease. You’ll love the look of the book and be inspired by the beautiful visuals such as this completely adorable pink floral and bow-wrapped cake by Dan Pasky, dandanbakingco.com:

And this rose and ranunculus bouquet from Vine Floral & Event Design/Emily Candee (you can almost smell the roses!):

I also loved these placecards in bloom by Beth Helmstetter Events, photo Meg Perotti/Courtesy Filipacchi Publishing:

Plus, you’ll get the inside scoop from wedding pros on clever ways to save that won’t sacrifice style or taste, DIY ideas, stationery tips and smart pointers on how to cut costs for your reception, cake, flowers and more. I know you’ll refer to Stylish Weddings often and…the best part…it’s just $19.95. Now, at that price, who wouldn’t want this gorgeous book packed with fantastic money-saving tips? Look for it in your bookstores this June and think of how happy you’ll be when you don’t go over budget!
