Dress:  Wedding Angels, Roswell, GA:  A+

I was mortified by the thought of shopping for a wedding dress.  Karin at Wedding Angels put me completely at ease.  She showed me a wide variety of dresses in my budget, and when a friend suggested I try on something outside my range she politely let me know before I tried it on :)  Once I knew I'd found something I liked she let me know about an upcoming sale and suggested I wait to buy my dress then which allowed me to save 20%.   

Invitations:  Alaun by Design:  A

I'm so glad I found Alaun by Design.  I ordered all my paper products from them and was very happy with all the finished products.  They were very easy to work with, and delivered items exactly when they said they would.  And the best part is that I found them to be very affordable.  You can customize paper color, fonts and design.

They do have a longer than average lead time on their products, especially invitations, but as long as you take that into account in your planning I'd definitely recommend them.


Bouquet charm:  Etsy seller DesignsbyTami:  A+

Tami made a double sided charm for me which I attached to my bouquet and it was perfect!  She allowed me to customize the size to smaller than her standard offering and I still received the charm in less than a week.  One side holds my Mom's bridal portrait and the other side has the picture of her we used at her memorial service.  I truly felt like I was carrying my Mom with me everywhere I went on my wedding day.
