We went through Equity for You in Lamar, MO for our honeymoon planning. We started a year before we planned on leaving for our honeymoon so rates weren't even out yet. But, our travel agent, Abbey Gilkey, searched for the best, earliest rates so that our honeymoon could be the best it possibly could be for the price we gave her. She never pressured us to spend over our budget and worked within our budget to find the perfect honeymoon. It was a good experience with her, she had personal experiences with almost everywhere she recommended. She never recomends anything unless she's vacationed there herself and she seems to have vacationed everywhere. She's also very knowledgeable about the tricks to getting the best room possible, and let us know what she's tried herself. We had a great experience with her, and plan on booking all our future vacations with her!

We're using Etsy.com to buy a crown for our flower girls to wear. They have wonderful items to choose from for your other unique bridal needs.

I go to the Perfect Wedding Guide bridal show every time they appear in Overland Park KS and it's always a fun experience. There are prizes, along with great fashion shows. And you can always come away with great ideas!

We had a wonderful experience at Nolte's. I've heard of snobby service there, so I was a bit worried but I was taken with the dresses and the staff. I was treated personally and with great care. The salesgirl was fun, nice, and made the experience enjoyable. She knew exactly what would fit my body shape, and seemed knowledgebale about the most important part of the wedding!

We got our jewelry for the bride and bridemaids at Claudia's, and it was beautiful. Not expensive, and very unique.

We got our cake from Oasis Party Supply. They seem to know what they are doing, and were able to conceptualize exactly what I wanted.

We had our reception at home, and it saved us a lot of money. Sure, we've had to rent, but its something to consider.

We're paying for our bridesmaids dresses so price was important to us. We couldn't find dresses in the price we wanted until we went to Ida's. The prices are great. And they have a whole room full of bridemaids dresses, so there's lots of selection. They carry many different brands, ranging from the downright cheap to the expensive. The service was not that great, we had to find the dresses ourselves. But we also went on a busy Saturday both times.

We chose Branches in Bloom after we became interested in thier pictures on thier website. We just took our engagement pictures and loved them! The engagement session was natural and fun, just how they are supposed to be. We looked relaxed and happy, and the photographer brought out our true personalities. Our location was nothing unique, but our photographers were. The pictures were bright and beautiful when we were shown them, and easy to order. I can't wait to see how our wedding photographs turn out!
