I have been driving by Donahue since I was in elementary school, and I never thought I would need to go in there, that was until I got engaged. Husband and I wanted to do some extra special invitiations for our destination wedding in Mexico. We decided on Message in a Bottle invites. That's when the paper hunt began. I never thought I would invest so much time & energy to looking for paper, but I was on a mission. We finally found a handmade Lokta paper from Nepal that we loved, and Donahue had it in stock! Love this store! I'll be coming back for years just because they had my Lokta paper.

Brent did an absolutely fantastic job with our engagement photo's. He really took his time with us and with photoshop to really create some works of art. This review has been a long time coming. Brent's wife even did my hair for the shoot so we really got the special treatment. I cannot wait until our next milestone in life so Brent can capture those moments for us as well.

I loved The Knot Shop! I found the exact favors and decorations I had been eyeing. The only thing I didn't like is their sale items were revolving, so the items I wanted weren't on sale at the same time so I had to do two separate orders. I still saved over $50 doing it that way so I can't really complain.

I was so excited when Dina's carried the dress line I wanted. I had to go to Greenwood Village to try on my dress and I should have bought it there.Don't get me wrong, Gina is super nice, but I feel like my bridesmaids and I were taken advantage of. When it comes to formal wera, I usual wear a 2-4. Gina measured me and told me I needed an 8. I remembered from the size chart on Maggie Sottero's site that I would be a 4. After going back and forth she finally felt "comfortable" ordering me a 6. When She arrived, she was too big all over (& I hadn't lost weight like gina had said). It was a lace-up so there was some room to work with, but the bust was way too big even after Dina sewwed in cups. I ended up spending about $400 on alterations, but had the dress been smaller in the first place that wouldn't have happened. Then it came time to order all my bridesmaid dresses. I know the differences between length and I kept telling Gina that I wanted the cocktail length for the dresses. She insisted that those would be too long and I would need the tea length if I wanted shorter dresses. I flat out told her No and to just order the cocktail length. When it came time to measure my girls, she told 2 of them they would need to pay 10% extra and order the 18W size. My girls aren't little pin thin things, but nor are they pushing into the "women's world" of clothing sizes, so reluctantly we ordered those sizes, only to have them Falling off my girls when they came in. Dina also had the audacity to try to charge my girl for alterations when she told Gina the largest size she wanted to order would be a 12 (and they had to alter the 18w down to a 10). I really think they run a scheme here to order dresses large, so Dina can alter them. Had my dresses been in the correct sizes my review would be so much different.

I would give zero stars if that were even an option. Worst travel agents with the worst customer service ever! Our agent David Victor was nice at first, until we went with the resort of our choice and not his, then he just turned unhelpful and downright rude. Every single one of our guests who worked with him, complained that he was an @$$ and when he was rude to my father in law, well my husband lost it. David always called us by the wrong names, by the end it looked as if I was a huge slut and marrying 15+ guys. I am sorry but if you are a professional then know your clients names. When it came time for one of my BM's to pay, David did not send her the payment form until she told me she requested it a week later and I called him to figure out what his problem was. He sent me an email back (even though I told him to call me) stating that there was too much snow for him to send her the payment form, and on top of all that, he sent her a non-encrypted form and that's a huge no no. I requested he send her the encrypted form so she could pay, and five weeks later and numerous emails with another woman working there, my friend was finally able to pay. These people had no idea if they were in compliance with PCI (the credit card companies) or how to be compliant to protect their customers. During our wedding week, we changed resorts in Mexico and David assured us that our transportation was arranged, well when it came time to go to our next resort, we had no transportation. Luckily the resort we were at allowed us to make the necessary phone calls to get it straightened out. I first spoke with American Express travel because they were handling the transport, but they had to transfer me to destinationweddings.com and I spoke with Alex, Alex was a huge jerk to me and very unhelpful. I was getting irritated so I asked him if t the people at his company knew how to do their jobs, he responds to me "not when you talk like that" I told him to not dare ask me to be nice to him when he was nothing but unhelpful and rude to me and it was my honeymoon he was ruining. I then hand the phone to my husband so he can talk to this rude man, well Alex hung up on us. We then called AmEx travel back and they just took our word for it that we had transport and they came and got us. It is not David Victor's fault we had such a bad expirience, it's his companies fault for not running a business that practices what they preach. Save yourself the hassle and find the deals online, we found much better deals that way.

Really awkward experience when I first went to try on dresses. I came in with my mom and MOH. The sales girl didn't even bother to greet us. I asked her to pull a certain dress for me, she did, but she just handed it to me instead of putting it up in the fitting room. I had to ask my MOH to help me lace up some of the dresses. The sales girl ordered lunch after we had been there about 15 minutes, it must have been from a friend or someone she knew because she said in an annoyed voice that she would pick it up "when I am able to because I am starving here and I cannot leave". So we left. Poor girl must have been really, really hungry and cranky.
