We chose to go to South Padre Island for our honeymoon. It was a great choice. The island is small and quiet but has beautiful beaches. My husband hadn't been to any Texas beaches, so we really enjoyed the great food, beautiful water, and even the waterpark next door. We look forward to returning there as soon as possible!

We had a very unusual reception site - it was a German drinking/choir hall in downtown San Antonio. There were pictures and busts of Beethoven everywhere! There was also a courtyard with picture of German shepherds on the side of the wall. It was unusual, but very fun. We loved our unique reception. Who else can say they cut their wedding cake in front of a five foot bust of Beethoven?

We did our flowers (including displays and bouquets) ourselves. We created simple rose bouquets from easy instructions from theknot.com and got the roses cheap through Sam's Club. We picked them up the day before and then arranged them that morning. We also bought two arrangements (premade) from the same place and had one at the alter at the church and one at the head table at the reception. It worked out wonderfully and the price was really nice!

We did our programs ourselves and had them copied at Office Depot near our house. I created a double sided program on my computer (using Microsoft Word) that listed the people involved and the order of ceremony. The front had one of our engagement pictures on it and the back had specials thanks and our address. We loved them and we loved the price!

My family are members at the church, so we were glad to have it here. It worked out very nicely. The bridal room had a double mirror, a large bathroom, and plenty of space for all the girls. The choir room worked great for the guys. I love the stained glass windows at the front of the church - they looked wonderful in our pictures!

I bought my dress here and had a great experience. I didn't know what I was looking for, but the sales associate was very helpful in picking several that met my very vague instructions. I actually found the one I wanted my first trip!

I picked a simple bridesmaid dress style from David's Bridal and was very pleased with the customer service. My attendants were from all over the US and so I needed a chain that could serve them all - David's worked great! They were able to go to a place near them, try one on, and place an order very easily.

My flower girl got her dress from David's Bridal. It was very convenient because her sister was also a bridesmaid and they were able to get them from the same location. I liked that her dress was basic white with a sash to match the other girls. The service was good too.

I didn't have to have much alterations done on my dress as I am quite tall, but I did have to have it bustled. I was nervous at first because the seamstress didn't speak English, but she knew immediately what I wanted. When I got my dress back, it was great - the buttons were invisible to anyone who didn't know what they were looking for. I loved every aspect of my dress!

My bridesmaids and I were looking for a quiet, but nice place to have a bachelorette party the night before my wedding. We didn't have a lot of time, so we went to a favorite restaurant. We couldn't have picked a better spot. We were given a table to ourselves in a corner where we could drink, laugh, and open lingerie (!) in privacy. Our waiter was very nice despite our being there quite later than other customers. The drinks, as usual, were very good and the food was as well. I would recommend it.
