Everything about choosing he best style for the bride to be. This is the ideal guidebook for the bride as she begins her search for the perfect wedding dress. Filled with inspiring ideas and visual references, it will help her develop a vision of her dress while making sense of the overwhelming choices available. She can use it to show storekeepers what she wants or to work with a dressmaker on a custom design. Easy to use, The Perfect Wedding Dress is organized by dress style — ball gown, princess line, mermaid, and so on — and by dress part — necklines, backs, veils, trains, and more. A helpful glossary in each section defines the terms used to describe the dresses. The author methodically helps the bride assess what style would suit her best, considering her figure shape, depending on whether she wants a train, and so on. Along with the stories behind the designs, he discusses what fabrics best suit each design and offers suggestions for appropriate headwear, jewelry, and shoes. The book features dozens of beautiful photographs and detailed descriptions of dresses, including those of celebrated brides such as Princess Diana, Jennifer Lopez, and Grace Kelly. Designs featured include Baggley, Mischka, Christian Dior, and Vera Wang. Brides of all ages and means will find The Perfect Wedding Dress inspiring and reassuring, and an indispensable part of their wedding planning. (20060312)

Milly has met the mouse of her dreams—and he’s asked her to marry him! All of her furry friends and relations have come to help Milly prepare for the big day. Even Tilly, the kindhearted country mouse—whose last adventures in the city left something to be desired—is daring another visit to be her maid of honor. Author Kate Summers retells every romantic (and often hilarious) moment of Milly’s wedding in this charming sequel to the highly praised Milly and Tilly: The Story of a Town Mouse and a Country Mouse, which Publishers Weekly called "a book to be pored over." Using the same precious, Potteresque style, illustrator Maggie Kneen depicts all the homey details: Milly’s delicately embroidered bridal dress, her squeaky-clean new houseboat, and a banquet table spread with all sorts of tiny mouse treats, including a three-tier wedding cheesecake. A sweet gift for flower girls and the bride-to-be, Milly’s Wedding is an event readers will want to revisit time and again.

Maggie Hunter is living the life she’s always wanted. Her career is taking off and, thanks to Japanese straightening technology, her hair is lying down. The commitment-phobic Maggie even has a serious boyfriend, Max. Smart, caring and funny, Max is practically perfect. There’s just one problem: he’s adamant that it’s time for Maggie to move in. Maggie’s not sure she’s ready to go from ‘me’ to ‘we,’ or if she can cope with putting all her eggs in one basket (or all her shoes in one closet)! If only she could be more like Eloise, her best friend who’s dying to start nesting. Except Eloise is with Jake, who has an apparent allergy to forward planning. He’ll barely commit to an entire weekend at her place, let alone a joint lease. So—Maggie wants a man like Jake, and Eloise wants a man like Max. At least that’s how it seems to Maggie. She knows that somehow someone will have to make a switch, but as she examines the relationships around her, she can’t help but wonder, can you really make someone change?

"Silk,tulle, satin and lace-mere yards of fabric to some, but to every bride are at the heart of a romantic dream — her wedding dress."So begins Maria McBride-Mellinger’s paean to the wedding dress, illustrated celebration of this most glorious of dresses. A contributing editor at Bride’s & Your New Home magazine, the author brings to this gorgeous volume an appreciation not only of style and fashion history, but also of the cultural and personal significance of the wedding gown.No other garment is as imbued with symbolism and tradition as the wedding dress.
