From Laura Lee Abby of Bravo's Newlyweds

Planning a two-bride wedding can mean twice the beauty and twice the stress, and with a shortage of inspiration and guidance for the modern lesbian bride, this is the book for the next generation of women planning a same-sex wedding. 2Brides 2Be is a wedding guide for the bride who exudes youth and style no matter what her age, who is inspired by innovation, and who wants to marry the woman of her dreams and do it her way. She is a visionary who is up to the task of blending tradition and rebellion, but she is looking for some practical wedding planning advice. She will find it here.

Author Laura Leigh Abby shares her own experiences navigating the world of lesbian wedding planning with a sense of humor and a dose of sass. She has advice on everything from the logistics of walking down the aisle to wording the invites, and she’s not afraid to throw all the rules out the window. With input from wedding industry professionals, 2Brides 2Be will enlighten brides on booking vendors, wrangling family and pulling off the wedding of her dreams.

Laura Leigh Abby first began blogging about lesbian wedding planning in 2012 while planning her own. She and wife Samantha, with the help of supportive family, expert vendors and a cinematic venue, executed the wedding of their dreams which included some offbeat details, including a blush Vera Wang gown and custom-made emerald couture. Abby shared details of her wedding in The New York Observer and Cosmopolitan, her nuptials were also featured in New York magazine and the couple appeared in season two of Bravo TV s hit series Newlyweds: The First Year. She is the founder and publisher of 2brides2be, an online resource dedicated to celebrating the beauty that is a 2Bride wedding.
