Here comes the bride! In this latest volume in Karen Bussen’s “Simple Stunning” series, the most important woman at a wedding takes her rightful place—center stage.

Over the years, Bussen has helped hundreds of brides plan weddings that reflect their personal style and express their own best selves. Now, any lady looking forward to her wedding day can benefit from Bussen’s sage advice on matters ranging from the Truly Essential (the venue, the ceremony, the guest list, the caterer, the budget, and, yes, the dress) to the Actually Much Less Essential (what your future mother-in-law will wear).

The months and weeks leading up to a wedding are always a whirlwind—sometimes exhilarating, sometimes overwhelming. With Bussen¹s level-headed guidance, the bride-to-be will take it all in stride while staying organized, remaining true to her own wishes, and (believe it or not) even managing to enjoy herself. Simple Stunning Bride is filled with gorgeous color photographs of inspiring wedding details—flowers, accessories, dresses, and more.
