Yes, you pay more but I have never had a problem in 6+ years and the staff is always friendly. Parking is tough, though and they do not do sewing repairs. ...read more
Any time that you can purchase wedding decorations in bulk or at a wholesale price, you are going to save a lot of money. Most of the time, decorations make up over 20 percent of the total cost of a wedding because so many decorations are needed. ...read more
Adding the price of getting a wedding dress steamed to the wedding budget is unnecessary. It is possible to steam a wedding dress at home as long as someone is willing to put in the time and energy to do it. ...read more
