These girls designed the wedding invitation of a lifetime. I had a vision of how I wanted our invitations to be and they worked on it til it was perfected. They were easy to contact, and always sent revised samples of the product. They are super creative. I got so many compliments on my invitations. If you ask me. I 've never seen prettier inviations. They are definitely making my baby shower invites in the future!

I called ahead to see if I would need an apponitment for 8 bridesmaids, they told me I wouldn't. So of course I brought in all 8 gals.
They had two samples to try on in the dress I wanted for the girls. A size 2 and a size 13. I had to keep up on them to make sure everyone's measurements were in. They estimated the dresses would take 6 months to come in. They came in at about 5 months, but all the girls dresses came in at different times.
They also charge a lot for alterations, I would suggest going elsewhere. The main reason I went with Alfred Angelo is because they had the shade of red I wanted for my bridesmaid dresses. Their prices are reasonable, but I was disappointed with the serivce.

I never thought I would buy my dress from David's Bridal. After looking at a few high end salons, my mom suggested we go to David's Bridal. We went in on a Sunday afternoon and I called ahead about an hour in advance to see if they could take me in, and they were able to.
The sales gal Mary was super helpful. I ended up finding a duplicate of a dress I had seen at a high end salon. It was also on sale that day, so I ended up buying the dress. They told me it would be take 6 months to come in.
My dress actually came in within 4 months. However, when I went to pick up my dress I wanted to try it on to make sure everything fit. They weren't very helpful. No one wanted to help me put on this dress. Secondly, they dont steam your dress for free. The dress was super wrinkled, and they didnt offer a garment bag.
Other than that, I loved my dress. I took it elsewhere to get altered because it was cheaper.
Beware they will call you for a few months after you purchase something there to try and get you to buy more things. i.e. bridesmaid dresses
I ordered my favors from here for 300 people. They all came on time and were beautifully wrapped. I especially appreciated that they sent us free samples. I also loved that when the favors were shipped they had ice packs in the box to keep the chocolates from melting and to maintain form. None of the shipment was damaged.
As for the cholate taste. They are very basic truffles. Simple, not super extravagent. However, I was pleased with the pricing and the ultimtate turnout.
I heart Costco! We booked our Carribean Cruise honeymoon through them. They beat everyone else's prices and even gave us a free upgrade. I love that their agents dont make comission, so there is no pressure no book. The travel agents even gave me great advice to what room I should book, as I had never been on a cruise before. Very helpful staff. I've used them multiple times since then for family vacations.
The husband purchased my engagement ring here. They were really good about resizing my ring. I also loved their lifetime warranty and cleaning service. We ended up buying our wedding bands here as well. So far we've had great service. I also loved the wedding planning book that came with the engagement ring.

I knew I wanted a cathedral length veil for my wedding since I was getting married in cathedral after all. hehe I met with Candi in person to see the types of material she used, and what she could do to design a veil for me. She made a 2 tiered Crytal pencil edged Cathedral length veil for me. The veil was done within a week. Super fast service. She is such a sweet lady. If you need a custom made veil, she is your lady!
Mahtab is the sweetest person! I met with her and she gave me a lot of input as to what she thought should be done with my dress. She took in my dress, added chest padding, and a bustle.
She also altered my mom's dress and a few of my bridedsmaids dresses. The dresses were done within two weeks and she even stored my wedding dress up until the week of the wedding and steamed it for me. Loved the final results!

The hubby and I were married here on March 24, 2007. They had the space we needed for a large wedding guest list of 300 guests. My contact person there at the time was Nicole and Laura. They were extremely helpful. They usually returned phone calls for the most part. Thankfully, they worked very well with my own wedding cordinator. The food was great the day of. They even set asie appetizers for us since we didnt get to eat any while we took pictures.
The package prices are great. I was really glad that valet parking was included. We ended up renting a lot our chairs and linens from an outside company, and they were very accomodating to let us decorate the ballroom to our desire. Our guests raved about how beautiful our reception was.
Our country club had a list of 3 bakeries we could choose from, and out of the 3 Rossmoor had the best tasting cake samples according to my hubby. I designed our wedding cake myself so I was a bit concerned that they would charge me extra for not usinga pre made designed cake. But in the end they didn't charge an extra thing. They made the cake almost identical to my drawing. It looked gorgeous. I really didn't want to cut into that thing that night. Everyone thought the cake was just as delicious as it looked.
Check out the cake in my profile pictures!
