The art and manner of the wedding speech
Editions JC Lattès
Presentation of the editor
Parents, witnesses, friends, if you have not succeeded in escaping the delicate exercise of the wedding speech, this book will allow you to come out of this ordeal with good luck. What to do, what not to do, original quotes to illustrate your words, and the experience of some twenty personalities will allow you to calmly apprehend your intervention and to succeed in this great oral examination.
Our opinion
Written by a journalist in a rather funny tone, this book is well designed and offers a series of fairly well seen advice. More than proper speeches, it offers general advice on what to do - or not - to successfully pass the moment of the speech. The score: 14/20.
The Most Beautiful Wedding Music (cd)
Label: Erato
Our opinion
A cd of songs dedicated to marriage. Bridal March, Ave Maria, a selection of touching and touching pieces well at a wedding. Obviously, these songs are more suited to the key moments of the wedding (walking to the altar, etc.) than to the dance party. To put in all hands! The score: 14/20.
The Party Disc (cd)
Label: Wagram
Our opinion
Prepare the track, it will heat up. A compilation of two CDs, of very danceable tracks, mixing wedding classics (La Danse des canards, Come and drink a little drink at home ...) and ultra famous hits (the Macarena, the Salsa of the Demon) to wiggle your hips in rhythm ! The price is a bit steep though. The score: 14/20.

Dessain and Tolra editions
Presentation of the editor
Over a hundred ideas for a wedding that suits you: magical, romantic, chic or relaxed, kitsch… but still trendy! Accessories for the bride and groom, bridesmaids and groomsmen, decorations for the table, the house or the garden, bouquets, etc. The ideas are simple to realize, their effect is guaranteed. Each achievement is explained in detail, step by step, using photographs and diagrams.
Our opinion
This book is dedicated to decoration, in a traditional style. Decorating the veil of the bride, her bouquet, the car of the bride and groom or your tables with taste becomes simple, especially since each stage of realization is described with care. The ideas are well presented and accompanied by pretty illustrations, and won't hurt your budget. A big thumbs up. The score: 17/20.
150 budget tips
Editions Eyrolles
Presentation of the editor
Realistic, practical and reassuring, this guide is an effective tool to help the bride and groom to better manage their budget. Organized by expense item (reception hall, caterer, decoration, etc.), this guide provides 150 tips to avoid pitfalls and find the ideal solution. A “bad economy” section will allow the bride and groom to optimize their choices.
Our opinion
Convenient for controlling your budget and not forgetting anything. The book deals with expense items one by one, and gives really practical benchmarks (eg: "Count 150 euros for invitations for 100 people"). The advice and tips given are welcome, and the price of the book itself is already a good start in your race for savings (less than $ 10 at most booksellers). The +: the "Bad economy" section of each chapter and testimonials, good addresses. The score: 15/20.
Our wedding journal
Editions Marabout
Presentation of the editor
The Journal of our marriage comes in the form of an illustrated album to complete, which the bride and groom can decorate with their own texts, photos and comments. It allows the future spouses to remember step by step of their meeting, the marriage proposal, the preparations, the D-day as well as their honeymoon trip.
Our opinion
Very complete, original and very beautiful, a superb work. It is planned to allow you, from your meeting until your 70th wedding anniversary (we wish you). It will allow you to write everything down: who made the marriage proposal? Where did you meet? You will slip in your best photos, those of your children, and enter your best memories and anecdotes. The score: 19/20.
The Truth About Marriage (comics)
Editions Albin Michel
Our opinion
A hilarious comic full of truths. As always, humor and drawings are a great way to describe problems or situations faced by the bride and groom.
A great gift for the bride and groom, to read together! The note: 16/20.
