We know, we know, traditions die hard, but more and more of us are getting married these days and we want to forge our own fete. Forget the Bridal Galleria, forget the country club, The Anti-Bride Guide is the ultimate guide to creating the ultimate party. Fun to read and illustrated throughout with line drawings, each chapter (the place, the dress, the food, etc.) offers up fabulous advice and unusual ideas for those brides looking for more than the usual haunts and the standard fare. Dozens of unique tips throughout give the bride great insider advice on how to deal with all the wedding eventualities (last minute lipstick stain on dress, what to do about a facial break out on wedding day, etc.) A quick planner and resource guide at the end keeps the bride on track. Tabbed chapters have pockets for stuffing brochures and clippings, and a flexi-pocket at back manages the overflow.
