Buying advice

Consider the scope of your wedding, budget, and the level of detail you need. Books that include checklists, timelines and vendor contacts are best for first-time planners. If you prefer visual inspiration, choose a photo-heavy guide. Budget titles often lack templates, so supplement them with printable PDFs.
