From Booklist:

Never have the to-be bride and groom had so many options for personalizing their wedding day--and for saving bucks. Michaels (as in, yes, the stores) to the rescue. Fifty-plus projects, ranging from decorated cakes to scrapbook pages, will fill the days between the announcement and "I do." Here, editor Kopp has wisely divided the embellishments into five different decorating styles--glamorous, pink, modern pastels, whimsical, and modern bold. In each section, there's at least one wedding cake, one invitation, one thank-you note (here's to etiquette, at last!), among other items to fashion. Complete instructions, color photographs, a frequent tip (like craft stores do sell embossed invitation kits . . . duh!), and five galleries of quick-and-easy projects for last-minute needs. Who could resist a polka-dot daisy cake or a pearl-trimmed thank-you note? Generous credit to the seven designers, however, doesn't mask one issue: fondant icing is difficult for experienced bakers to master, so it might be smart to flag those cake--decorating projects with a "practice-practice-practice" star.
