Seeing as I was having my bridesmaids in all different colors, we needed to make things easy for the guys and not make the wedding look like one big rainbow. We also didn't want them to have to spend too much on renting a tuxedo so we told them to get a black suit and white shirt and that we would provide the white tie to go with it. So I started my search online and found these great ties for only $15. It makes for a great groomsmen gift and it won't break our budget.

this is a website I've spent hours on only because I wanted to buy everything that was there. It has everything you need for decorating your hair. i bought a rhinestone hair brooch which I love and am thinking of going back there to get gifts for my bridesmaids. It's a great place for getting accessories and they have beautiful pieces for every budget.

I am so excited about the venue where the wedding will be taking place. Aside from their great service, the room is absolutly stunning. It needs very little to no decoration at all. It has high ceilings with beautiful chandeliers. It is really well maintained. The only decore I will be doing at my wedding is chair covers and lighting. I don't have to spend a penny more.
Also plaza volare has a garden and a tent which can be used for either the ceremony or cocktails. This place really has it all.

I discovered this photographer while going through the elegant wedding magazine and noticed that their featured couple were people I knew. They had only great things to say about the photographer so I went to check it out for myself. At the meeting we spent over an hour going through all the details of the services they offer, they showed us videos and by the time it was over, we only wanted more. We signed our contract on the spot. For anyone who really cares about having beautiful artistic pictures, I would definitly recommend them.

I discovered artikal online while looking for a birdcage veil. I emailed the owner telling her what i wanted and before i knew it, it was delivered to me. It is a great website for any bride who wants a different look for her wedding than just the regular traditional veil. The service was great and I absolutly love my veil!!

the great thing that the spa did was that they had an open house and gave me an idea for hair and make up without me having to pay a cent. Granted I didn't go with a picture so they didn't accomplish exactly what i wanted that day but their work was still really great and they gave me great tips for the look i wanted to get on the day of. I have booked them for my wedding day as I have seen great results from them.

The best thing I found so far was do it yourself invitations. I thought it would be so dumb to spend so much money on something people throw away. Target has great do it yourself invitations (you can find them online or in stores) and they end up costing only about $1 per invitation. This includes, the blank invitation and mailing envelope, as well and the reply card and envelope. All you have to do is either print them yourself at home, or take them to a printer (for a fancier print) and you're done!

For anyone who thinks that shoes are not a big deal at a wedding...they are greatly mistaken. It's the finishing touch to the perfect outfit. I was looking for soething special for my special day and looking online I could only find simple white satin shoes that were reasonably priced. I decided to go to Nine west where they have a bridal section and found the prettiest shoes ever. I was in between sizes but they quickly fixed that by putting an insole in and not even charging me for it. The shoes are white satin, with some tulle and a big rhinestone brooch. I love them.

I chose to buy mini piano favors for my wedding and found that Karen wedding had the best prices. However, the service was not worth the money saved. I had to ask for the status of my package a few times only to get computer generated answers. By the time it was sent out over 3 weeks had passed and I only got 1/3 of my shipment. I had to go through a whole other ordeal to get the rest of it. But in the end she sent extra pcs to make up for the time lost. Still it took way too much time to get to me.

This is the florist I will be using at my wedding. The goal was to leave a deposit and then have a demo made to see what the centerpieces would look like. However I did not want to get stuck in a contract without knowing what i was getting. They were really helpful and really kind and agreed to make the demo before I payed for anything. The service up to now has been great. I am realyl happy I chose to work with them.
