Description:
With engaging text, Bailey guides the reader through the process of deciding on the decor for ceremonies, rehearsal dinners, wedding receptions and parties, explaining how to bring diverse yet elegant elements together to compose the stunning environment of one's dreams. Beginning with large decisions, such as choosing a theme and transforming a wide array of spaces to fit the vision, he moves on to the details - centrepieces, arches, placemats, lighting, table settings and more. Throughout the book are full-colour photographs of nine weddings, with chapters that include a Glorious Glasshouse Fantasy, a Tropical Latin Fantasy, a Modern Metropolitan Fantasy and a New England Waterfront Fantasy. Also included are nine design motifs from the Preston Bailey 'Signatures' line. Above all, Bailey encourages anyone planning a wedding, whether it is large or small, to allow their creativity to blossom and to have fun while designing their dream event.

Over the Top! - This book is delightful.The talents of Bailey and his staff are vast. I recommend Fantasy Weddings to get your own creative juices flowing-very inspiring for professionals- or simply to enjoy as an escape to Fairyland.

The High-Fashion Show of Events... - Many people say Preston Bailey is over the top- and he is! Duh... I have an event production firm here in LA and we make reference to the authors ideas, then we tone it down a bit, add our own flavor and touch, and there you have it. The point of a book like this that everyone else here seems to miss is that you should NEVER recreate anything in a book- but rather be inspired by it.
The point of my title is to draw a parallel between the ideas in this book, and the point of the high-fashion industry. When Dolce & Gabbana release a silver pleather jumpsuit in a runway show, they don't want you to actually wear that on the street; but rather, they want you to move in a more conservative version of that design that is usually toned down and sold in the store. It's like asking for a raise: ask for $2.00 if you really want $1.00...

Cute but over the top - I am an event designer and love making any room beautiful. I thought these pictures were beautiful but possible a little over the top. I don't recommend buying the book. It's wasn't worth paying full price.

Wonderful! - I truly am enjoying this book! Preston's style is so inspiring I have shared it with several of my friends. The photos are beautiful and the information he shares with us is very helpful. I will buy all I can of his work. Thank-You Preston for sharing the gift God gave you with us. Sincerly, Sherry
