I was so happy to receive a copy of the beautiful Real Simple Weddings 2010: “Your guide to planning a beautiful ( and stress-free) celebration” in the mail.

I am just going to go ahead and say: I LOVE Real Simple Weddings 2010! This third edition of Real Simple Weddings is brought to you by the editors of Real Simple and is pretty, practical + purposeful all in one.

To me, it is a 136 page book – magazine hybrid but with only the best of each: it has a lot of wedding planning content in an easy-to-read layout, but has a lot of content complemented by beautiful photos + inspiration (without all of those advertisements in between, which can put a damper on content).

What are some of the many things you can expect in Real Simple Weddings 2010?

- a planning calendar (+ pullout wedding planning guide)

- beautiful real weddings

- uber-creative invitations

- color inspiration

- flower information (because most flowers aren’t available year-round)

In other words, helpful information + beautiful ideas (+ everything in between) – a must for brides-to-be.  Now go out + get one.

What is your favorite part of the Real Simple Weddings 2010?
