The Knot Ultimate Wedding Lookbook: More Than 1,000 Cakes, Centerpieces, Bouquets, Dresses, Decorations, and Ideas for the Perfect Day, Editors of the Knot, Roney Carley

More than 1,000 gorgeous color photographs give couples endless inspiration for their wedding day, and useful tips, time lines, and lists help the lovebirds flawlessly pull off every detail. Each chapter is bursting with creative and classic ideas to make the day as meaningful as it is beautiful:

Stationery: Save-the-date cards do double duty when printed on coasters or delicate handkerchiefs.

Ceremonies: An auspicious birds nest adds a beautiful and rustic touch for carrying rings at a farm wedding.

Dressing Up: A retro bride goes glam with a feathered veil and pearl button-accented gloves. A casual groom and his mates add a personality pop with chocolate-brown Keds to match their wedding chinos.

Cocktail Hour: For a low-key affair, mini grilled cheeses dipped in shot glasses of tomato soup satisfy.

Centerpieces: Fruit slices suspended in crystal vases overflowing with Crayola-bright poppies and orchids offer a cheery setting.

Cakes: White lace frosting details that match the brides dress and the couples monogram turn a pale green cake into a chic masterpiece.
