4. Speaking of Destination Weddings and freebies, I heard it from Globetrotting Bride that if you book your destination wedding at a Hyatt Property by June 30, 2010, you can get up to 5 free nights toward your honeymoon! Hyatt also just launched a Bridal & Gift Registry, where you can register for everything from free nights to spa services to Scuba Diving…. sweet.

5. Erin Gallagher Jewelry is having a 25% off sale on entire orders until June 22. Just enter the code “bridalbling” at checkout. Erin’s work is fully customizable, so you can match the dress, the personality, or the style of your event, perfectly.

Go forth and save, my pretties!
