"I can't begin to say such wonderful things about this company. They have gone above and beyond. I have been remodeling my bathroom and have run into problems with construction and the integrity of people working for me so it was refreshing to know there are still honest people out there. My husband was aprehensive about buying tile online but now after working with this company realizes it was one of the best decisions we made during our remodel. Not only do they provide exceptional quality at great prices but they are honest and have superior customer services. David you have been amazing. I do have to note I rarely have time to write reviews online but felt the need to show my appreciation so others can feel good there are great companies out there and feel good about buying things like tile online. 5 stars all the way!!!!" ...read more

Wedding Planning Tips & Recommendations For Bridesmaid's dresses
When I was a young girl I often dreamed about getting married and having the beautiful wedding ceremony in a cathedral chapel, followed by a wedding reception in a beautiful elegant ballroom. When I got married, none of that happened. Our ceremony consisted of us, with about 7 other couples getting married in the court house downtown. I giggled through the majority of my vows... sad I know. It costed us a whopping $50 and about 15 minutes of our time. Who knew? I tell everyone, it was the best $50 I ever invested :-). Our ceremony was lunch and T.G.I.F.'s. We have been planning to renew our vows one day. Upon planning and researching, I've discovered for myself just how expensive weddings can be. It. Blows. My. Mind. However, I personally believe I can have the wedding of my dreams without having to go into tremendous amount of debt to do it. I've learned of some cost cutting ways and helpful tips where I can cut corners to save money. All the information that I gathered, I want to share with you so you can have the wedding of your dreams at a fraction of the cost. Here is some helpful information and a checklist included below. I'll post more tips and guides in future post. Happy Planning! 4 truths about wedding planning. So you think your wedding is for you and your fiance? 1) Ha! Forget it. Unfortunately, weddings often become less a celebration of marriage and more like a huge social pleasing event for participants. Parents, and even some brides and grooms, are frequently guilty of turning weddings into spectacles to impress their friends or business associates. Money can become a persuasion, since whoever pays for the wedding may feel the right to influence the proceedings with their own tastes. Sometimes parents, even friends will try to make your wedding into the wedding they never had (yet always dreamed of). Your friends may be guilty of pressuring you to make your wedding fit some predetermined mold. In other words, while you may be the stars of the show, you and your fiance may not be the wedding's directors, producers or choreographers. Recognizing this fact early on and learning to negotiate without giving ultimatums may prevent frustrations. Weddings often times end up twice as large as originally planned 2) A wedding often takes on a life of its own, expanding into a hideous creature several times larger than you ever imagined. This process usually begins with inflating the guest list. Here the guest list grows because each family simply must invite personal friends, close business associates and people whom they haven't seen in fifteen years. The main problem with adding to the guest list has a negative impact on your budget. Several weddings have nearly unraveled when families have insisted on inflating the guest list without offering to help pay for the additional cost. I suggest allowing your family and friends to invite a certain number of guests each. Any invites beyond those targets must be financed by the requesting party. Perfect weddings don't exist in the free world 3) No matter what anyone tells you, understand that the "perfect wedding" is impossible within an imperfect world. That's because weddings always involve human beings. Now, we know everyone tells you that you must have the perfect gown, perfect flowers, perfect cake unless you want to catch the Bridal Plague and die an agonizingly painful death. Don't listen to them. Instead, we suggest you aim for a "wonderful" wedding. Or even just a fun wedding! Since it's impossible to perfectly script something as complex as a wedding, we say why try? Wedding participants will miss cues, things will not go perfectly as planned- if you need any proof of this just watch any of those "outrageous and shocking home video" shows. Ever wonder why so many of those clips are about weddings? Hmmmm. Aiming of a wonderful wedding will also benefit you with maintaining your sanity. The wedding industry isn't as innocent as it looks 4) You may be thinking that the wedding industry is a collection of sweet old ladies whose only desire is to help young couples in love, but the reality is quite opposite. Instead, think of the bridal biz as a group of cut throat merchants who, in many cases, will say and do anything for a sale. Let me balance this by saying not all merchants are like that, but I've encountered my fair share of them. According to the latest research, over $20 billion dollars will be spent this year by couples tying the knot, that's billion with a "b". The billion dollar cost only consist of the ceremony, attire, vendors and venue- add in another $19 billion spent on gifts and $8 billion on honeymoons and you've got a $47 billion, and more, bridal market. What makes wedding planning so expensive? Bridal merchants know weddings can be a lucrative market. Why do some bridal merchants and vendors think engaged couples are an easy mark? That's because weddings are often a one-shot deal. Yes, there are ethical and honest bridal professionals out there that charge a fair price. But, just be aware the wedding business is just that- a business, where folks are trying to make a buck because you want to tie the knot. by Marcella Parks | on April 30, 2013 VisitPink Ginger Boutiquefor recommendations on bridesmaid's dresses.
