We made a shutterfly account and had all of our friends and family upload their pictures from the wedding so that they could share them with each other and with us. It was super easy to use and we were so excited to be able to see the pictures before our professional ones come back to us. Great tool!
We had a very simple cake, so we needed something to dress it up a bit. I didn't want the typical cheesy bride and groom cake topper and wasn't sure what my other options were. I came across Toppers with Glitz in a google search and had a great experience with them. I had a ton of compliments on how different my cake topper was and no one had ever seen one like it before!

Great place to have a block of rooms held for your out of town guests. Their rates are very reasonable and their rooms are clean and more upscale than a lot of hotels with comparable rates. The location was also great in reference to where the wedding was held so the out of town guests didn't have to worry about getting lost.

Such a great resource if you don't know where to start, but OH so overwhelming! I came home with so much information that I couldn't even remember which vendors I really liked and which I wasn't crazy about. It was a good place to get some ideas, but you really have to pay attention and keep track of what you liked because chances are, by the time you walked to the next vendor, you already forgot what you saw!

My husband was a very hands on groom and said he would have no problem taking care of ordering the tuxes for him and his groomsmen. He took a swatch of the bridesmaids dress fabric in to use to help determine what tux would look best. The salesmen at the shop must have done a great job helping him because I was very happy with how my husband and the groomsmen looked at the wedding. The colors matched the dresses perfectly and the guys looked so handsome!

We didn't want the standard boring guest book or party favors and this turned out to be a GREAT direction to go in. The guests had way too much fun playing in the booth and we ended up with a great guestbook keepsake where each guest left us a message with their picture. It was a little pricey, but well worth the added expense.

I absolutely LOVE my Natalie K engagement ring. My husband said he had no idea what he was doing when he went to pick out the ring and the staff at Agnew's did a great job asking him what I was like to help him choose a ring that would suit me and my style. He had such a great experience that that we came back to select our wedding bands and will continue to use them as our jewelers.

We hired Silver Leaf to get us from the hotel, to the ceremony, from the ceremony to the reception and from the reception back to the hotel. They were prompt, courteous and reliable. The cars were very well kept and the drivers were very helpful with getting me and my bridal party in and out of the vehicles in our gowns. We are planning to use them again for a friend's bachelorette party coming up!

I lost more weight than I expected to before my wedding and needed even more alterations done last minute than I thought I would need. Martha was great at accommodating my last minute crisis and I ended up with my dress fitting me like a glove. My bridesmaids also had their gowns done here and were thrilled with the fit. I would highly recommend Martha's Tailoring for your alterations needs.
Publix did a FANTASTIC job on our wedding cake. I never would've thought to get my cake through Publix, but they had some cake samples sitting out one day when I was grocery shopping and I couldn't believe how good their cake tasted. They had a beautiful selection of cakes and their prices were beyond reasonable for the quality. They'll even come set it up for you.
