Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Zsa Zsa Gabor cooed "Daahling, a good wedding requires practice," but most of us want to to get our nuptials right the first time. For several years, happily married Cynthia Muchnick has been gathering the most useful hints, tips, and tools for self-reliant wedding planners. Her advice includes imaginative ideas about wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, the ceremony, and the reception — right down to details about seating arrangements, table favors, and music selection.
Library Journal
A wedding consultant gives tips on everything from the proposal and prenuptial parties to the post-wedding period when couples struggle to write thank you notes, exchange duplicate gifts, and begin financial planning. Many brides will find her emphasis on handling stress and strategies for taking care of yourself beneficial. Muchnick even includes some comments on renewing vows, a topic ignored by many books. Though the ideas presented here are found in other guides (such as Robbi G.W. Earnst's more detailed Great Wedding Tips from the Experts, Lowell, 2000), this is fun to browse through, and readers will appreciate the straightforward, friendly tone.

She pursued her undergraduate degree in Art History and Political Science at Stanford University where she met her husband, Adam Muchnick. After completing college, Cindy moved to Chicago where she began her career in college admissions at the University of Chicago.

Cindy and her husband relocated to Florida where she earned her masters degree in Liberal Studies and taught tenth grade history.
Dubbed an Engagement Expert and Coach, she has appeared on dozens of talk shows and news stations including Leeza, Sally Jesse Raphael, Donny & Marie, Fox News, Good Day LA, Good Day New York and many others.

Still incurable romantics, Cindy and her husband Adam are living happily ever after with their two sons in Southern California.

    Helpful Advice But Lacking Ideas

    I was excited to order this book, especially after reading the rave, 5-star reviews. But after reading it, I must say, I'm disappointed. Being I'm engaged and the this is the first book I've read from the Wedding section, I'm eager for some awesome wedding ideas. The book is a bulleted list of helpful gems and pointers listed topically. Things like 'Have the groom shine his shoes' and 'Ask yours vendors a lot of questions' are listed as some of the fabulous ideas given. I felt most of the book was common knowledge penned as good advice and very little was actually Creative Ideas To Make Your Wedding Fun, Romantic & Memorable. The title and description are misleading. Is this book worth the $13.45 price tag? Yes, and I agree, a recommended read for all getting married. It's a great compilation of useful, albeit, extremely obvious information. Just change the title to The Ultimate Wedding Common Knowledge Advice Book, because this read is very lean on ideas.

    Great Advice on Wedding Issues/Problems

    I loved the book for the down-to-earth advice. I have never read anything on weddings that spoke to the pregnant bride-to-be. This book tactfully lets that reader know it is OK and it happens all the time. The advice to the bride to clue-in the person altering her dress was the best. Nobody will tell a pregnant bride those things. The advice to the men in the wedding was dead-on. The 'stickier issues' of a wedding were covered with kindness and in a realistic way. The author has tact and insight. And this book was a fun read!

    Not a planner - Better!

    This book is so useful - if you're only going to buy one, let this be it! It isn't a planner, so it won't overwhelm you with 'to do's' but it is a compilation of a bunch of stuff I don't have the time to look up.

    Couldn't have stayed sane without it!

    I recently got married and was given this book to help with ideas. I work full time and was on a budget, so when it came to creative ideas, I needed them by the bucketful. This book was by far the best book I read and gave me many beautiful, tasteful and unique ideas to use which made our special day, beautiful, elegant and uniquely 'us' without breaking our bank. Thanks a million. I highly recommend this book.

    A great new wedding book

    This book is a lifesaver if you are planning a wedding. It is well organized and easy to read and packed with wonderful and original wedding ideas. This is the book you need to read if you want to add a special personal touch to your wedding day. It has great ideas for traditional as well as non-traditional weddings and brides on a budget will appreciate all the ideas that will make your wedding special but won't cost a fortune.
