I bought some cute white bud vases to use with our centerpieces for $1.99 each which saved us a ton on our florist bill. It's definitely worth going through that maze!

We bought our card box (a cute birdcage) and some freeze dried rose petals from this company. I couldn't be happier with the way the birdcage came out, but I was sort of surprised on the petals. We had ordered 15 cups for about $45 to use as toss petals and when we received them, it only seemed to be about 7 or so. They must have just lightly measured them before drying, although I was definitely expecting more. In any case, I still would use them again because every item came promptly and you can't beat some of their prices.

We were able to book our honeymoon cruise for a fantastic price through Expedia. The specialist who helped us was wonderful and she even ended up finding us more discounts within our cruise line without us having to ask! I would use them again in an instant. They really made it easy.

What a great little shop! We bought our wedding bands here and the family was so patient while we were trying to pick one beautiful option over another. We ended up getting bands that they customized to us and they turned out exactly how we described. We love them! The only thing is that these guys are pretty popular and give good customer service for each person so you might wait a little bit for service, but it's definitely worth it. They are very affordable and we wished we had found them sooner.

I came across this little place during a bridal show and ended up getting my garter and veil here. The veil is gorgeous and only cost $50! I couldn't believe this incredible price vs plain ones I was looking at in other stores for over $120. The people here are really nice as well and they have a lot of fun things to look at. We also ended up buying cute wedding-themed tissue packets for our grandmothers during the ceremony. :)

I found my perfect wedding dress on sale and had to grab it even though it was several sizes too big and way too long (since I am significantly shorter than the usual hem). After having our original boutique seamstress move away before she got to my gown, we found Si through recommendations and can't believe our luck. Si charged significantly (hundreds!) less than the seamstress at the bridal boutique to practically custom-make this gorgeous dress to my body. During each visit she was so sweet and listened to the vision that I was hoping the end would turn out to be. And in the end - I almost cried tears of joy! The gown was perfect and I couldn't believe the talent and work she did to make it seem like it fit me all along - right down to the beautiful french bustle. She truly is a wonderful person and I strongly recommend her to anyone nervous about having their precious gown altered. We completely trust her and are so happy with the results.

Although we ended up booking another person for reasons not in any way affected by this company, I wanted to share that talking to Janece was a pleasure. I felt that she was genuinely interested in helping me out with my day and budget issues and she was so professional about it all. She also gave me a great recommendation for a DJ since ours had cancelled on us. Janece seems to truly care about her brides which is a gem in this sort of business.

Gabrielle was able to book a last minute appointment for me, which was very much appreciated. She took the time to get me whatever dress I wanted to try on, and was very patient in the times where I'd want to re-try the same dress just to make sure. The dress we ended up getting was a dream and cost a fraction of the amount it normally retails for. (I had just made the end of one of her sales!) The only hesitation I had was that the seamstress (who ended up moving to Texas after quoting me and taking my measurements) was extremely expensive. I haven't been back since she's hired her new one so I can't recommend them, but I would definitely recommend this cute bridal shop.
