On May 25 of this year, my boyfriend proposed and became my fiancé, and now I am starting to do some wedding planning stuff (even if we aren't planning on marrying till Autumn 2019, I am too excited!) and I thought I would look up some wedding books for help.

I came across this book and decided to request it from my local library and I am really happy I did! Dana LaRue is really great at easing you into wedding planning. Her writing is charming and it's kind of like talking to a friend about wedding plans, which is really nice and calming. It takes away the intimidation of the massive task of planning a wedding. I know I have a long road ahead of me, but she definitely made me feel like I can totally do this. I loved her writing.
One aspect I really loved are the small illustrations scattered through the entire book. The book as a whole is super visually pleasing. From the purple font to the illustrations and tips in the corners of some of the pages. The book wasn't dull like I as expecting it to be but instead a lot of fun and I enjoyed reading it.
Of course, not everything applied to me, so I skimmed parts I knew weren't going to be helpful to my situation, but overall it helped answer some of my questions. Or it gave me great ideas for my wedding that I wouldn't have thought on my own. I took many notes and snapshots of the pages to save for later on during my planning journey. I even teared up like a big sappy loser at some of the parts when I pictured myself on my wedding day.
Overall, if you're engaged, plan on getting engaged, or a loved one is engaged I recommend getting your hands on (or giving them) this book! I think it completely worth it and it will be helpful in some way, being Dana LaRue tackles a wide range of wedding planning topics!
