Check out the selection of rings from titaniumrings.com for something different in a wedding band. My fiance and I knew that we wanted titanium rings, and their selection is the best we found (and we looked!!). Prices are very reasonable for the quality that you receive, and at the present time orders of 2 or more rings sent to the same address at the same time receive FREE FedEx shipping!! If you pay by money order, you get an additional 5% discount off the price of the ring.

Good selection of cakes available with not a lot of advance notice required. Tend to be booked a bit on holidays, but has been in business for so many years for a reason. Cakes are good and look great.

The only reason Sam's doesn't get 5 stars is their selection of colors is limited. If you are looking for a specific color for plates (for example) for your reception, you might have better luck elsewhere. I was able to find utensils, plates, cups and more for less than $50.

Doing most of your wedding yourself can save you money if you have the time to invest. Check out the Oriental Trading Company site for a large variety of items in colors that coordinate with your wedding! Having a themed wedding? Check out their regular catalog for favors and decor!! Very economical.

For those who choose to "do it yourself", definitely check out Michael's selection of flowers. I'm not sure if you can order things online, but they had a great variety in the store. Purchased my bridal bouquet, bouts for the men, supplies to make the corsages, and bouquets for my ladies all for just under $100. Only thing I have to add is some ribbon and they had that as well! They have a great variety of silks and greenery in some beautiful colors, and premade bouquets.

The larger the wedding, the more intricate the details, but if you are planning a smallish ceremony at home go to Walmart and check out their invitations. With your home computer, you can design and print your own invitations for much less than you would pay to have them done. If you have a little bit of time, I highly suggest this. They look just as nice, and every penny helps!!!

Discounted dresses. Some beautiful, some not so much so. Staff courteous but not overly excited about helping, especially when it is close to closing time. I understand you want to go home, but this is important to me too! If I've worked all day and only have a few minutes ... please understand that. If you act like you want my business, I can make arrangements to come back when I have more time!

Good selection, but a little bit pricey for one day rentals. Unless storage is a major problem, I'd suggest buying what you want and selling it on ebay after the wedding if you don't want to keep it! For the price of renting a tent, I could purchase one!
