I wanted to add Michaels to my list of vendors for those who are DIY brides! I LOVE MICHAELS! They have many items you can buy for favors, centerpieces, cake toppers, etc etc etc.
My review really rests on my Veil. I could not understand the reason to spend over $100 on a piece of tulle that I would be wearing for half an hour. I went to Michaels and bought an ivory veil. It was very plain for $12. I then took the spare beads I had gotten from my wedding gown, and attached them to the edge of the veil. It was beautiful!! and so much more meaningful!
I highly recommend Michaels to those who like to be a little more creative :-)
