Get excited—The Knot Yours Truly is out today (December 12)! Chock-full of incredible tips and fresh inspiration, this book has everything you need to plan a bespoke wedding that perfectly reflects your relationship. Whether you’re eclectic or classic, rustic or glam, a brilliant blend of them all or totally undecided, every page is dedicated to helping you bring your ideal celebration to life.
First things first: inspiration. We’ll help you define your style, articulate it to vendors, mix and match to your liking and keep all your ideas organized. (You can also take our fun Style Quiz through The Knot All-In-One Wedding Planner app to find your wedding vision—then come back to the book to flesh out your ideas.) Next, flip through dozens of Real Weddings to see how creative couples put their own spin on six distinct styles: classic, romantic, rustic, modern, glam and eclectic. Each wedding includes a detailed blueprint too, in case you fall in love with anything you see.
And since there’s nothing more personalized than handmade details, we tapped master crafter and designer Lia Griffith
