Oriental Trading company has many favors and items to use for decorating. They are always sending out free shipping coupons, so you can save a lot just by taking advantage of their sales. Also, there are decorations and favors in almost any color you could want. I would highly recommend this website to brides wanting to save money. Also, it is great for brides who have time and want a lot of do it yourself projects.
We found Zales to be very friendly and cooperative while we were purchasing rings. They were able to provide the best diamonds for the best prices. Also, they were able to accomodate my tiny ring size. When I tried my ring on, it ended up being a .5 size too big from what they measured me. We got it resized, which only took 2 days. It was very quick and came back fitting perfectly - for no charge. Zales was very easy to work with.

THis site was well worth the drive. It took care of the catering - it had a large variety to choose from. It was reasonably priced, but well worth it. The food was great. It also was an old fashioned house which resembled the southern plantation houses. It provided a nice landscape to take photos. There were plenty of restrooms, as well as rooms upstairs for the wedding party's use. The room was in several staired layers, providing a very interesting layout for the guests. The staff was very friendly. It was a little expensive, but very reasonably priced compared to other sites I have visited.

This reception and/or ceremony location was very elegant. It was very expensive, as the smallest package started around 12,000. Full catered meals were more expensive. The main room could seat plenty and would look very beautiful. There were plenty of rooms the guests could enjoy in the reception building, including a smsall tavern. Guests staying at the hotel would receive a discount and could enjoy golf as well as a hot tub and swimming pool. If you are looking for a beautiful reception site that took care of all of the details, and you have the money to spend on it, I would recommend the Virginia Crossings Resort.

This tailor was very reasonably priced and did a great job altering a bridesmaid dress. It was done in about 2 weeks or less and was finished for less than 50$. The only complaint I would have is that the dress ended up a hair smaller than I would have liked, but it still fit very well and looked good on the big day. I would feel very comfortable getting my wedding gown altered there, as well as other bridesmaid dresses.
This church is very nice. The sanctuary is beautiful and a good size. It is large and can hold a lot of people, but not too large so it doesn't look too empty. The church coordinators are very easy to work with. It is not very expensive if you are a member - I am not sure of non-member charges. There is an organ, piano, and sound system that can all be used during the ceremony. The church requires 6 premarital counseling sessions with the pastor marrying you previous to your wedding day. The location even has a small garden with many good photo locations.

I LOVE THIS STORE! It is a bridal consignment store located in Newport News, Virginia. There was a large variety of new and gently worn dresses in many sizes. The consultant was able to look at my body shape and help me find a dress that looked very flattering. The prices were great since many of the dresses were designer window dresses or previously worn. Even though some were used, they all looked new to me. The personal attention was wonderful! I bought my wedding gown from this store and saved nearly 400$ from the original price. I can't recommend this store enough!
This was a somewhat large shop with a small shop feel. There were a lot of wedding gowns to choose from. When I went I was looking for bridesmaid dresses - there was a fair amount of dresses on the rack from the designers B2, Alfred Angelo, and Eden Maids. They had swatches to look at for each of the fabrics, as well as personalized attention. The prices were average, since they were all designer dresses. The employees were very friendly and knowledgeable about the dresses. I would highly recommend this store if you are a bride looking for designer dresses as well as personalized attention.

I was not impressed with David's Bridal. I heard that the prices were reasonable, so I wanted to check it out. I thought that the dresses looked cheap. My bridal consultant did not pay any attention to me because she was trying to help to many brides - my mom and future mother-in-law had to run back and forth finding me dresses. The store was very busy as well - I felt like a sale and not an individual. If you are looking for personal attention as you try on dresses, I would not recommend David's Bridal.

I found Birkdale to be so easy to work with! The events coordinator was very friendly and offered many suggestions of possible vendors in the area. There was a large variety of food very reasonably priced. She even said we could bring in our own supplements, which most venues I looked at said we could not bring our own food. The space is classy and great for a small - moderate sized wedding. I have had nothing but good experiences with Birkdale Golf club so far and would highly recommend it to any bride looking for a reasonably priced reception site.
