Has anyone ever ordered cookies from that small town, USA? I was wondering what they cost per pound—and whether delivery is an extra charge or if it's included.

Well, I’m actually from that area, and I honestly can't recommend them enough—I always make sure to get their treats for weddings! Usually, a pound would run you about $18, and cakes are around $150, though I'm not quite sure about the pricing for bridal shower orders. Here is their link though, maybe you could just reach out to them directly and ask.

electricbadger23 said:Hey everyone!

I could really use some advice based on what you all have been through... So, I'm getting married in November 2011, and we're looking at a pretty small crowd, maybe around 70 people if we're lucky... I've already locked in the entertainment (the Quattro band is absolutely killer) and a phenomenal photographer, Maj Perić. Now, the big headache is finding a venue... If you have any ideas or personal experiences, please let me know. I've been weighing a few different options... I definitely need to go check them out in person, but I'm holding off until "the one" finally makes it back home. =)))

Thanks for the help! 😍

I’d suggest using a Hotel recommendation service—we had an intimate wedding ourselves and were incredibly happy with the service, the menu, and the overall organization. They essentially guide you through all the chaos, and along the way, you can pick up plenty of ideas for what you actually want. They're great at adapting to your needs and take a huge chunk of the workload off your plate. You really can't go wrong with them 🙂

Hey everyone, has anyone here actually pulled off an outdoor wedding (or even just attended one) around Indianapolis or the surrounding areas? I’m talking about those high-end, dreamy, fairy-tale type setups... you know the vibe. 😁

Hey everyone, I really need some quick advice! I’m originally from a coastal area, but I’ll be heading out to a small town, USA for my in-laws' place soon. I'm in desperate need of music recommendations—please send over any DJs or bands you know that are actually good! Also, if anyone has leads on a solid photographer or videographer, let me know... seriously, please shoot me their numbers or any info you have. Hvalaaaa in advance! 😕

Jesse Brooks3, look—I’m from a small town, USA, so feel free to ask whatever you need to know.😉

Regarding the music scene, I’d suggest checking out Bravo Band
As for the photography, Mijic handled my shots—all credit goes to him and his crew.👍

By the way, word on the street from the folks over at Brođanka is that they heard on the radio today that Patricia's hall in a small town, USA is offering a honeymoon in Malibu to any newlyweds who book their venue before the end of the year.😍

I'm looking for some recommendations for an affordable venue or restaurant around the Small town, USA area—maybe near a Small town, USA too.
If you have specific details like contact info or phone numbers, please just shoot me a PM.

Oh boy... Here we go... A new bride-to-be from a small town, USA! 🤣
So, okay, we've got our venue booked for October 1st, 2011, and now I'm just praying there's actually a band available to play!
But anyway...
I guess if everything goes right, I’ll be set for at least a few months regarding all those big bookings. But I wonder if I'm actually on the right track here! 😕
Basically, I'm planning on getting the flowers from my Aunt Jak from Small town, USA, grabbing some sweets from Catherine in Small town, USA, and finding a wedding dress somewhere in the city. I was wondering how early you guys usually book everything?! I feel like it might be too early to reserve stuff, but then again, maybe I'm wrong...

And I have another quick question about the flowers! I don't want to make things super complicated or just throw money away. I'm looking for something totally simple! Like, maybe a tiny bouquet, some baby's breath spheres for the tables, and I was thinking of putting an arrangement on our car that we can move to our table later, plus a heart made of flowers behind us. Does anyone have any idea what that kind of thing might cost?
I'm asking because I heard bouquets can run around $333. Honestly, that feels sooo expensive to me. I might just head out myself, grab ten white roses, wrap them up, and call it a day!

Hey 🙂

Another one for October 1st! Let's get this party started 👋
I've already locked in my florist for the flowers, but I'm still hunting for the cake and the dress. Feels a little early to be stressing over that stuff, right? 🤷

What kind of bouquet from $333? 😲 My florist mentioned they might have some options for $100 too...

Man, I really don't know! I saw that bouquet, but honestly, it wasn't anything special. It's just made of white roses—there are tons of them since it's a pretty big arrangement—but still... 🤷

Hi, does anyone know of a bridal boutique that carries Maggie Sottero? I called the shop in Small town, USA, but they didn't carry her line back in 2011—they were working with different designers instead.

Well, regarding the cake and the flowers—I used Jak for the flowers and Catherine for the sweets. If I recall correctly, I settled everything about two months before the wedding, though since mine was on a Sunday, it wasn't much of a struggle... honestly, your best bet is to just call them now to check availability, especially for the flowers; I imagine the sweets won't be as much of an issue. As for the floral costs, my entire setup came to roughly $600... I had a rose and orchid bouquet, our table was decked out in roses and orchids, and the guest tables had those large vases on stands filled with lilies and orchids, all wrapped in organza, ivy, and various little blossoms. All in all, I was more than happy with both the quality and the price. 👍

Well, we were planning on Elvis Presley because they’re honestly the best, but they’re totally booked! 👎
I'm so jealous of anyone who snagged them.
Then we looked into Disney, but they're busy too! 👎
Now I have no clue... I kind of left all the searching to my future spouse so they wouldn't get bored. 🤣

Jamie Gonzalez, I honestly think you crushed it at $600! I was wondering, how much were you charging for the table arrangements, or more specifically, how many tables did you actually manage to cover?
I’m thinking I might need to handle around 40, and I’d really love to have at least a little something on every single one of them
