Signature Sasha: Magnificent Weddings by Design
by Sasha SouzaSpotlighting sensational weddings teetering at over-the-top (table aflame, anyone?), this gorgeous coffee-table book provides plenty of visual inspiration. Author, designer, and event planner Sasha Souza approaches the usual wedding topics with unconventional thinking (we love her insights on "color couture" and "inspiration boards"). The result is a wedding resource that, while sumptuous on nearly every page, gives incredibly astute advice about executing the details.
Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair
by Pablo NerudaThis poetic ode to love and longing contains verse after verse of passion-igniting prose from Noble Prize-winning poet Pablo Neruda. Scandalous upon its release in the 1920s, this classic work remains unabashed with passion, romance, and oceanic imagery. Equal in desire is Neruda's The Captain's Verses. Together these classic companions make for a wonderful honeymoon send-off or a thoughtful wedding present.
Preston Bailey Celebrations
by Preston BaileyThis is the latest opus from Preston Bailey, a premier style-maker whose artsy party installations are legendaryÑbright pops of color, splashes of glam, and dramatic backdrops. Although completely unrealistic for the average couple, clever brides-to-be will find lower-maintenance ways to incorporate Bailey's ideas into their own wedding. Stunning visuals aside, Bailey also creatively addresses planning concerns.
