I was looking for cute sandals to wear to my wedding, and I really didn’t like the shoes in any of the bridal stores. I did find the most perfect pair of gold sandals at Aldo, which was no surprise because I think they have a great selection. They were gold gladiator style sandals that looked really elegant and simple with my dress. My bridesmaids got their shoes here, too. Another unexpected purchase was a great big white patent leather bag, which I used as my wedding day ‘carry-all’ bag. I love Aldo, and I think you can find great things here for all occasions.

We chose to have dinner first, and then go on a nice boat cruise on our rehearsal dinner evening, though the manager gave us plenty of options on how and when we could arrange our time. We pre-booked for 12, and then we were able to add more reservations when more guests confirmed. Some friends just met us at the Bricktown Brewery. It’s a nice restaurant, the menu is typical, and I remember that almost everyone got the roasted chicken, which was nice.

We had many relatives coming in from out of town, so we thought it would be fun to have an activity for them after the rehearsal dinner. We booked the dinner cruise, which really means that for $40 we all got to have a nice dinner at the Bricktown Brewery, and then we went on an hour long boat tour of the city.

My husband picked out a beautiful engagement ring. He went to the store with my mother and sister, and was able to choose something that was simple and that I would love. We got our wedding bands here, and I also bought my husband a watch from BC Clark as a wedding day present. I found the staff to be really nice and knowledgeable about everything in the store. When the salesgirl I was working with didn’t know something, she let me know and went and got the manager so that I could have my question answered. I was impressed by how professional and honest they were, and I would go back for more jewelry.

We had our invitations and RSVP cards professionally made because we had a guest list of over 200 people, and we wanted the cards to be nice. Fine Arts is a great place, they’ve done invitations for my family before, mainly for another wedding and a baptism. Our wedding invitations were great, the staff was nice about helping us choose the template and font style, a paper color, and made lots of great suggestions. It was easy to choose what we wanted our cards to look like because they had lots of samples to look at.

The hotel was a little bit pricey, but it was also in a great section of town. We were able to make a group reservation. We inspected the rooms before we made the guest block bookings and we found that the rooms were clean and very comfortable looking. I think many of our guests appreciated us making the selection for them, and for choosing a nicer hotel.

I found out about this florist through a friend. A New Beginning Florist say that they are a Christian Florist, and they show this by being really nice and lovely women who care sincerely about the work they do. They were so happy for me when I said I was getting married and wanted a bouquet. They are also talented florists, and I got the bouquet I wanted. I brought in a picture and they were able to copy it exactly like the picture.

This was the most beautiful moment of my life! The chapel at Walnut Creek Chapel is just beautiful. Guests were walking in and couldn’t help comment on how peaceful and perfect the place was for our wedding. The front of the church is made almost entirely out of glass windows, so there was so much natural light coming in the room. Dr. Gene and Judy, two of the owners, were wonderful in showing us the chapel and helping us plan for our wedding day.

We were very happy with the catering service and menu options that a Spot of Tea provided us with for our wedding. This was the catering company that the Walnut Creek Chapel works with exclusively, so it was really great that we liked the staff of a Spot of Tea. The quality and time that Tammy and her staff put into preparing the food and presentation was amazing, and it was obvious that they care about what they do. The menu was good, we had a good selection of appetizers and entrees, and we got to taste everything during one of the tasting sessions before we made our selection. One the day of the reception the food was perfect, and I really loved having a fresh fruit station!

One of my bridesmaids found someone on craigslist who was selling her bridesmaids’ dresses. People usually post wedding dress pictures and bridesmaids dresses, and my bridesmaid was actually able to get three bridesmaids dresses for the price of one in the color I wanted! We needed to pay to have the dresses altered, because they were a size or two too big, but it worked out well. One of the dresses had not even been worn. I checked out craigslist recently and see that many people want to sell never been worn dresses, so it might be worth checking out.
