Cyberbride
Don't but this book. There were very few helpful things in here. Buy the Bridal Bargains book and you'll get all of the same information, plus some actually helpful things.
Rating: 4 out of 5
Great for brides looking for online wedding planning help--
while net-savvy brides and grooms would probably be able to find most of these sites on their own, anyone who's not too familiar with the web will love this book. The authors review and give summaries of sites for shopping, planning, honeymoons, community, etiquette and more. Even if you've casually looked at wedding sites, this book will show you in a nutshell which sites to go to for specific information and which ones are a waste of time. The authors give no-holds-barred reviews of the sites, including information such as white websites have too much advertising, which ones are outdated and which ones are unorganized. An excellent reference for any bride wanting to use the 'net for her wedding.

Paid for itself over and over
Yes, this book has information that might cause a "net savvy" bride to yawn, but reading this book all the way through AND following some of the links will save you money or at the very least a savings in time.I found that a local gown retailer is unauthorized to sell gowns from a designer I was interested in - even though they advertised that they carried that designer's gowns. I thankfully followed Cyberbride's advice and found an authorized retailer on the designer's web site. I found a flower grower that sells direct to the consumer. I got 14 bunches of roses (twenty five per bunch - really nice ones) for around $350. This included shipping. Try to beat that at your local florist. I found an invitation retailer that sells the same invitations in the stores at 25 to 35% off. Yes, there were pages spent on some of the big bridal websites, which I had already visisted. But I did get more information on links that I hadn't yet perused. Bottom line: well worth the money!
