If you're planning a wedding and looking for elegant handmade touches, this is a great resource. But you need two qualifications to use this tempting book: previous sewing and/or craft experience and lots of time. Seasoned crafters with hours to spare will find solid instruction for the expected (stationery, ring pillow, floral headpieces, sachets, bonbonnières) and the unusual (jazzy vest for the groom, bow tie and cummerbund for the ring bearer, fairy-tale slippers for the flower girl, an organza-swathed hat, wedding cake tablecloth, elaborate gift-wrapping ideas). Each project includes estimated completion time; most average about two to four hours, while some take as much as eight or ten. As lovely as the ribbon-wrapped napkin rings may be, for instance, how many people can spare 30 hours to create enough for a 60-guest wedding? However, if you're looking for beautiful, sophisticated accessories and you have the time and the skills--or know someone who does--you'll enjoy this idea-filled guide. As a useful extra, the opening section offers a helpful planning countdown. --Amy Handy
