This is a fun party if you want to stay home and invite the girls for a night in. We really enjoyed it. The sales woman came into the home with adult toys to show that you could actually hold before buying and some fun games for us to play. She even made a male cake for me! It was hilarious!! A good time was had by all.

This is a cookie cutter bridal store. I was not impressed. They were not very helpful. My mother found most of the dresses I tried on and we had to wait forever to get in a dressing room.

This is a second hand bridal store. It is in Hendersonville. They were very nice, but it is very hit or miss because they are a consignment store. You never know what they will or won't have in.

This jeweler is in Montgomery, AL and Auburn, AL. They are a first class jeweler! My fiance' and I will not go to another jeweler. I have a beautiful cameo necklace, my engagement ring, and our wedding rings from here. They are so personable. To get my ring size in secret a girl friend took me to the shop for her, my boy friend (at the time) called to tell them what I was wearing, and they got my size without me even suspecting. They will really work with you here!! I love them!

This is a small bridal and tux shop in Madison. They have more tuxes that dresses, but their dresses are nice.

The bridal show at the convention center was fun and not fun. It was very big and a bit disorganized. I did meet a lot of vendors and get a lot of information. At the same time I am looking for a green wedding dress and having a cruise wedding so it was not able to help with some of my planning. Also the fashion show was boring, hard to see, and only catered to a traditional white dress. The food from the convention center itself was over priced and not very good. If you want the traditional wedding and need help of finding local vendors this is the place for you.

This is a charming bridal shop in Murfreesboro, Tn owned by Melissa and David Wilson. I called to set up an appointment with them. Upon arrival Melissa greeted me, took the time to tour me around the shop, and get to know what style I was looking for. Then she helped me and my girl friends setting into our dressing room. We had a couch, with a three way mirror and pedestal. Plus there was a very large dressing room with a mirror, two chairs, and a bath robe to change into for when you were in between dresses!! To help me get my selected dresses into the dressing room, Melissa gave me orange color clips. If there was a dress I liked, I clipped it and then she would bring it to my room. A very nice system. She checked on me often and always called me by name. I have not ordered my dress yet, but I will definitely be using A Bride's Storey!!!

Very dirty bridal shop in Antioch. I called ahead of time to see if they would have what I wanted and to set up an appointment. Then when I did arrive, they acted as if I had not set up an appointment and had non of the pre-discussed gowns. Also the shop dressing rooms were very small, had no mirrors, and only a cloth draped in front of the for privacy. Finally to top it all off the shop was freezing and I was expected to want to take off clothing and put on a dress. I was very unimpressed.

I went to Bridal Warehouse to look for my dress. I did not find what I was looking for. I had to do a lot of the legwork myself. When I go to look for my dress I want to be treated like a princesses and pampered. My mom actually found most of the dresses I tried. on.

Tyler is a very professional but fun to work with photographer. He really takes the personal time to get to know what you want. I used him for my bridal portraits. He called me ahead of time and spent 30 minutes getting to know me on the phone so he could set up what he thought I would like. Then when we met he had a green notebook full of his favorite locations around Nashville to take me to go do the photos. I was very pleased. Then I got a cd will all of my photos on them to keep that I can take anywhere to go and print.
