We used David's Bridal for bridesmaid dresses, and got a good deal ($99/dress). I went with sleeveless purple taffeta tea-length A-line. Shipping was free to a local David's Bridal branch, and I arranged meetings with my bridesmaids when they were local to give the dress to them.
Bridal Reception Dress
I used this website (Lightinthebox.com) for my reception dress, which cost $139. It was strapless, white, tea-length, and actually looked a lot like the wedding dress I borrowed. My mom also bought her dress from here, and she looked absolutely stunning!
Bridal Ceremony Dress
I borrowed this from our hair and makeup artist Jennifer Sun. Two piece A-line strapless. Jennifer's rate included veil and hair accessories.

Bridal Shoes
I got some really tall silver strappy shoes from a local outlet mall to wear under my huge ceremony dress. For the reception, I used shorter silver dance shoes that I got from a local dance studio. They were comfy all night long!

Groom and Groomsmen's Tuxes
We used Selix and got a good deal ($99/tux) with the 7th being free. It was cheaper than Men's Wearhouse, but for good reason. They got some of the sizes wrong on our order and our groom and ring bearer had to get those switched out before the wedding. Also, the Selix ties are pre-made, which is great if you have guys who don't know how to tie their ties, but it also lacks the genuine feel of a real tie.
Wedding Rings
We got the groom's wedding band from Amazon.com for real cheap. I (or rather, my now husband) got my wedding band and engagement ring from a local jeweler for a good price (almost half of what you'd purchase at Shane Co)
