Preston Bailey’s “Celebrations” features some of the most breathtaking images I have ever seen compiled into one volume. His work truly does speak for itself and would transform the opinions of anyone who doesn’t believe that weddings are magical, once-in-a-lifetime events.

Preston Bailey has a passion for transforming spaces into something magnificent. This is what “Celebrations” excellently showcases. Through each chapter of the book (Dramatic Statements, The Magic of Tents, Ceremonies, Table Settings, Details, and Transformations), the reader gets a brief introduction from Preston regarding his opinions and thoughts on the topic in general, before diving in to a beautiful world of flowers, fabrics and fantasy settings.
