Sweet Dreams

Flavor of Love
In addition to providing exquisite cuisine for wedding parties at The Ritz-Carlton, Dallas, Fearing’s now offers off-site catering.

Cool Getaway
Eschew the cookie-cutter limo and call Romantic Remembrances for your getaway-car needs. Besides limousines, they also provide antique cars such as a 1958 Rolls-Royce, a 1939 Cadillac, and a 1967 Daimler. If you’re looking to make your departure even more royal, say cheerio in the Daimler—it once belonged to the Queen Mum of England. 2334 W. Buckingham Rd., Ste. 230-175, Garland. 972-494-2162. www.romanticremembrances.com.
Movie Magic
While you’re making new memories as Mr. and Mrs., take a moment to reminisce about your journey to wedded bliss. With a custom video album from Momento Productions, you can entertain your guests with a professional DVD combining your old photos and digital videos all set to the music of your choice. A Momento movie is a great idea for a slideshow at the rehearsal dinner or a fun presentation during the reception. Prices start at $200. 214-534-7360. www.momentoproductions.net.
