Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mothers in today’s world wear many hats and struggle to keep the stress in their lives at manageable levels. Add the delightful but demanding new hat of mother of the bride (MOB) to the roles they are already juggling, and you have a host of middle-aged moms pushed to their limits, in desperate need of an empathetic voice and moments of nourishing relaxation. While trying to maintain life as they knew it before their daughter’s big announcements, MOBs are called upon to magically morph into wedding planners, help their daughters navigate the journey to the altar, and establish new and loving relationships with their prospective sons- in-law and their families. With all focus, financial and otherwise, dedicated to the brides and the weddings themselves, the needs of mothers of the bride are overlooked. Mother of the Bride will help MOBs step away from the hurried pace of daily life complicated by a demanding new role. It will offer them the refreshment found in discovering community as they take time for themselves—time to be encouraged, to gain helpful insight and practical tips, and to enjoy the feminine beauty of a book designed just for them. Through essays featuring relevant quotes or Scriptures, personal stories, nuggets of wisdom, simple suggestions for personal pampering, journaling opportunities, communication aids, and practical tips for wedding planning, Mother of the Bride will nurture the all-important but too often neglected mother of the bride.

Download or read book The Magic Room written by Jeffrey Zaslow and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2011-12-27 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling journalist and author of The Girls from Ames, Jeffrey Zaslow, takes us to a multi- generational family owned small-town bridal shop to explore the emotional lives of women in the 21st century. You may not have heard of Fowler, Michigan, much less Becker's Bridal. But for the thousands of women who have stepped inside, Becker's is the site of some of the most important moments of their lives-moments that speak to us all. Housed in a former bank, the boutique owners transformed the vault into a "magic room," with soft church lighting, a circular pedestal, and mirrors that make lifelong dreams come true. Illuminating the poignant aspects of a woman's journey to the altar, The Magic Room tells the stories of memorable women on the brink of commitment. Run by the same family for years, Becker's has witnessed transformations in how America views the institution of marriage; some of the shop's clientele are becoming stepmothers, or starting married life for a second time. In The Girls from Ames, beloved author Jeffrey Zaslow used friendships to explore the emotional lives of women. In The Magic Room, he turns his perceptive eye to weddings and weaves together secrets, memories and family tales to explore the hopes and dreams we have for our daughters.

Book excerpt: Helen Greer's new book, '50 Pearls of Wisdom' is set to help women everywhere be the perfect mother of the bride. Being the perfect mother of the bride isn't easy. In fact, there are days when it can seem absolutely impossible. Up until now there has been very little advice available to the mother of the bride. The main focus and advice is mainly given to the daughter as her special day approaches. While this is understandable, without her mother, the bride's day wouldn't run quite so smoothly. Helen Greer was inspired to write 50 Pearls of Wisdom after her own mother of the bride experiences. She recalls: "There were times when I felt so frustrated because I just didn't know what was expected of me. I researched online and found very little information available. It was a stressful time and it made me want to share my new found knowledge so other women wouldn't find it as draining as I did." The book focuses on everything from choosing the right outfit to dealing with daughter melt downs and socialising with the in-laws. Separated into small snippets, it's easy to flick through and find tips as and when you need them. The last thing you want when you're stressed is to read through long paragraphs until you find the information you need. This book is designed to be a helpful guide you can call upon whenever you get stuck. If you're looking to be the perfect mother of the bride, 50 Pearls of Wisdom can help. No longer will you be left wondering what is expected of you or how you should handle a certain situation. The book contains real advice from somebody who has been there and who has gained insider knowledge on what is expected of you. It's a book that every mother of the bride should own.
