. Photo Joe $167
. Isabelle Salon $167 (their location is in Indianapolis)

Does the Isabelle discount only work in Indianapolis? Is that actually stated? If I could use it in Slough or Jackson too, I’d 😍

Thanks. I’m on the same page as you, and looking at those photos... it really does look massive 😲. We'd basically be a tiny handful of people in there. 🙄

So, I'm actually a month ahead of you 😍. Thanks for the help 😉. Now that I've seen everything, I'm thinking about booking something over in Tomislav Karamarko. I know you mentioned it felt claustrophobic to you, but honestly, the interior style is almost exactly what I'm looking for.

I have to admit, my top choice was originally Zelenkrov in Chepin, but they have a minimum requirement of 180 guests 😲. (If your guest list is smaller, they still charge you for the full 180). If I could somehow negotiate a deal with them, that's definitely where I'd go. Has anyone here actually dealt with Zelenkrov before?

It's only valid in Indianapolis; that's what my aunts told me at the trade show.🙂

Tyler Campbell59, I’d honestly suggest looking into the Zelenkrov venue, since that’s where I actually had my wedding
The restaurant is right off the highway near the entrance to the big state park, maybe about 15 miles outside of Jackson, so it’s super easy for folks traveling from out of town to find, and even easier for locals nearby. They also have a motel right on-site if anyone needs to stay over, and as far as the food and drinks go, you can pretty much work out whatever you want with them.
I really loved how they kept everything with that classic, old-school charm, so here is their link, but if you want to know more about what my experience was actually like, I can definitely send you a private message.

Thanks 😉 Alright, I just took a look. It’s not bad, but if I’m being honest, some parts aren't really my style. 🤷 I do like that it doesn't feel over the top. Shoot me a DM so I can check it out properly. 🙂

Hey, would I still be able to snag that discount? To be honest, I already put down a deposit on my wedding dress at a bridal salon in Indianapolis a few days ago, so I’m not sure if I can even use it.

What kind of discount are we talking about here? Is it just on the new collection or does it cover everything? And did you actually win that through the raffle? I went to the trade show myself, but I didn't walk away with anything like that.

I sent you a DM. The discount is $167. I didn't win it in the raffle, but I did get a bouquet 🙂))) 😍 from the florist 🤣

Hey, anyone been to Stefanie lately? Just wondering what the rental prices look like over there right now. 🙂

Hello there... I was hoping someone might be kind enough to clear something up for me regarding wedding invitations. Is it actually true that some bridal salons include them for free when you rent a gown? I remember back when I was looking three years ago at Nicholas in Indianapolis, they used to throw them in as part of the package. Does anyone know if that’s still how things work these days?

Hey there... I'm looking for some intel on Studio 69 over in Indianapolis. Does anyone know what their pricing is like? Also, just out of curiosity, how much of a deposit should I even be expecting to drop upfront for a photographer in general? Thanks! 🙂

I reached out to them about a year ago—back when we were coming in from Indianapolis—and they quoted us $1,200 plus an extra $100 for travel. I have no idea what their current rates look like, but if you're interested, I'd suggest getting in touch with them as soon as possible.

Hey, did The Bride offer any kind of discount at the bridal expo?! Also, do they have any other locations besides their shop in Indianapolis?

Unfortunately, they weren't offering any discounts... 😢
Claire visited the boutique at St 😉 if that helps at all

The county office is open. Everything is moving forward exactly as planned. kaže:
I sent you a message. There's a discount included. $167I didn't win the raffle, but I did get a bouquet! 🙂)))😍 At the flower shop. 🤣

I think I'll pass. You can offer that to someone else, since my wife already got hers from the salon. $133 The holiday discounts are basically here, so I’m going to hold off on overdoing it for now. 🙂

No worries, it’s all good.🙂

It’s definitely not a universal rule. Even the shops that offer them don't always include them; usually, it's just a special promotion. I recently checked with a boutique in Austin, and they mentioned that during January and February, they're running a deal where you get 100 free invitations if you rent a gown. You should probably call around and check specifically with the places you're looking at.

From the moment I first checked out the property until I actually pulled the trigger on the reservation—which took about a month of thinking it over—I ended up scoring a $333 discount voucher 😉

Hey everyone, I’ve seen some mentions here regarding Helen and Daria (the makeup artists). Does anyone know if they’re willing to travel for a job even if the distance is about 60-50 miles miles? If I understood correctly, one is based in Chicago and the other in St. Louis. Also, if anyone has a contact number, could you please DM me? I’ve been lurking on this thread for a while now, but I finally decided to register because I actually need some help myself. Thanks 🙂

I heard that Helen is heading back home—apparently, a colleague of mine who’s four months pregnant already booked her... based on what she told me, the price isn't actually that steep, nor is it excessive considering she has to drive about 45 minutes to get to us anyway... 😉
I don't have her number handy, but you should be able to find her on Facebook.. 😉

Hi everyone!

Can anyone recommend a solid florist in Indianapolis? I’m looking for someone you’ve actually had a great experience with. I checked out Fantasy earlier, and they gave me a decent enough quote that included satin bows for the chair covers. That said, I’ve been scrolling through some older posts here and people seem to say that shop is pretty overpriced. My budget tops out at $1000, and I need a full setup for the hall (two small floral aquariums, eight tall glass arrangements with bows, greenery to wrap the building staircase, plus decor for the church and the car, a bridal bouquet, and boutonnieres for the wedding party).
