The Artful Bride: Wedding Favors and Decorations: A ... (ISBN 1592530397)

Martha's employee makes a book.:
Following from the previous review where I commented that the projects in this book could have been from 'Martha Stewarts weddings' imagine my amusement when I saw on the back of the book that the Author IS from Martha Stewart's living! Trust me, this book is truly banal.

good ideas:
There were some good ideas in this book. Unlike the invitation book, they didn't seem to be as origional. There were also favor ideas that wouldn't really be useful for most weddings. However, there were some cute ideas, I liked the tags they used for place settings. There were some tips that I wasn't aware of before reading the book. I do have to admit there are a couple of things that we might consider for our reception. I am looking forward to getting the other artful bride book.

I am returning it:
Wow, I didn't realize Amazon offered Video reviews ! Next time....meanwhile, I am returning this book. Not worth the postage in my opinion. And, from the look of the corners and edges, I may not be the first to have returned this particular book. That alone would have no bearing on whether I liked the book or not, I only mention it as a 'heads up' to others considering ordering it. I consider most of the projects to be very time consuming,AND way out of proportion to the value of the finished piece. Funny thing is the text refers to the placesetting favors as treasured keepsakes,.... I think not.

Not as good as the book cover:
Overall, not as good as what I have expected. If you really want to make your own wedding favors, I found Martha Stewart website comes in very handy.

I returned it...:
I was very dissatisfied. I looked at some of the projects and they were really not something I was excited to do. I was very disappointed with the project and the lack of creativity.
