Some amazing images come during the preparation time. There are so many expressions, emotions and your closest friends and family are all around you. I've seen people get ready in churches, their home, a bathroom, hotels, etc. I have to say my favorites are your home, if it has enough room and a hotel. Now let's look at the hotel, I think it's an amazing idea to book a room, especially one that has a shuttle/limo service.

The wonderful perks of doing this is by paying for the room you are getting wonderful transportation and that frees up many logistics. Most hotel rooms have more space than your home or the church, they are normally decorated beautifully and they typically have some great natural light.

Andy and I tested this theory on our 5 year anniversary. We booked a room at the Club House Inn in Sioux Falls and took the shuttle out to eat and for a drink. It was so great. Neither of us needed to be the DD since we had the shuttle. The room was so spacious (and it wasn't even a pres suite), the fee was very resonable and way less than a limo would have cost. The decor in the room and throughout the Inn was so beautiful.

I don't know if any other hotels in the Sioux Falls area offer this, but even if they don't I think that this would be a great investment in your day. The images that we could make at this hotel are so vast. I have posted some images here from Amber and Spencers wedding. It just so happened that they did this the week after Andy and I went out. So I just waited to post until after their wedding.

Here are some images from Spencer and Amber's wedding. They got ready at the Club House Inn. These images were all taken there. Their wedding was in Brandon (outside SF city limits) so they couldn't use the shuttle, but it was still a very spacious and well decorated place to start the day.
