Beautiful Day/Elin Hilderbrand/404 pages

Jenna is planning her wedding with the help of her mother. That's not too unusual, but her mother passed away seven years before from ovarian cancer. While her mother was dying, she wrote out in a notebook what she envisioned for her youngest daughter's wedding day. She doesn't want Jenna to follow it blindly; she wanted to leave her ideas so as to be part of the day. But Jenna wants to do everything exactly as it's set forth in the notebook, and Margot, her older sister, is determined to make it happen. If only their father, still hopelessly in love with his dead wife but remarried, their siblings, the wedding party, the groom's family and Margot herself wouldn't have so many issues and drama.

Another book about weddings. It must be the season. There are some similar storylines between this and The Engagements by J. Courtney Sullivan, but not enough to discourage anyone from reading both. My only real complaint is the cover art is so off from how the wedding setting, the dress and mostly the flowers are described. Otherwise, this is a nice summer read.
