The great talents at Real Simple magazine has just made their 2009 weddings magazine available exclusively at Crate & Barrel stores and online. A little heads up: it costs $13.95 (not including shipping if you order online).

Note: Please note that I have no affiliation with C & B or Real Simple. I am not selling or offering this magazine through DIY Bride and cannot send you a copy.

Preview copies of Real Simple weddings are available, beginning today, at Crate and Barrel stores (both brick ‘n’ mortar and online). I’ll be picking up a copy tomorrow.

Planning a wedding doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Starting from your engagement, Real Simple Weddings acts as your trusted attendant, guiding you through everything from your budget to your bouquet toss. Unlike other how-to guides, Real Simple Weddings forgoes the intricacies of overdone nuptials, providing only stylish, streamlined approaches to the key elements of your big day—the gown, the flowers, the cake, the reception. With surprising ideas for centerpieces, favors, and stress-reducers, as well as all-inclusive checklists and organizational tools, Real Simple Weddings is the only resource you need to achieve the day of your dreams.
