I was very happy with the quality. I haven't seen other pocketfolds, so I have nothing to compare them to. We used photo quality paper for the invite and inserts. We also used a couple of ink cartariges while printing. These both and to the cost. The pocketfold was $1 and envelope was $.15. So worth it to not have to make them from scratch. The printing and assembly was time consuming enough as it was. In the end, our invites turned out great and we got lots of compliments

My DH's wedding band came from Icing on the Ring. Tungsten and he loves it. No scratches at all. I think he could have gotten a better price online, but he doesn't shop like I do.

I loved our cake! Thank you JuneMango for recommending them. We got a white (kinda Yellow) cake with real strawberry filling and white whipped cream frosting for 75 people for a GREAT price. We only asked for a cake to feed 75 people, but in order to make the tiers the sizes they needed to be they made it for 85 people. It tasted just like strawberry shortcake. The catering servers were salivating. It is definitely not a fancy bakery, but Aldo is SO nice.

I’m really happy with the Oviatt. It was beautiful, just what I wanted, historical/urban. There were hitches throughout the day, but I am happy overall.

I love him! Our e-pics turned out great. He and his wife were very easy to work with on the day of. I love my wedding pics. He got so many really beautiful photos. We also ran out of time, my fault, and weren't able to get shots on the subway like I had wanted to, so Marlin offered to take more pictures later. So 2 months later we got dressed up again and took more shots. I'll post them when I get them back.

I found the Maggie Soterro sample for sale there for $25 (twenty-five). I did however redo the bodice entirely, but I couldn’t have bought fabric for $25. I highly recommend this place for a budget bride who is flexible about the dress. You never know what they will have, but that is part of the adventure.

I bought the flowers at the LA Flower Mart. 375 lovely roses. $14 for a bunch of 25 roses at Jesus Barajas. We also bought lots of other flowers. Total for flowers was under $300. It was a lot of work and a big mess, but they turned out great. My MIL and aunt-in-law helped. We made 9 centerpieces, 6 large arrangements, 2 bouquets, 3 boutonnières, and had lots left over so we stuck roses in whatever we could find.

Some of you may recall that my original caterer cancelled 3 weeks before for reason of a death in the company. Vinaigrettes stepped in and handled everything rather well. They costed more, but did a great job. I couldn’t afford everything that the original caterer would have provided, but everything was great. The great Cheese Tortellini Alfredo was the talk of the next day. Don Weiss made sure to make the ordeal easy on me. Wes was the bartender they provided and he did an awesome job. Request him!

Hair and Make-up: Marilyn Ghigliotti stepped in for Tess.

After hearing about the whole ordeal [w/ Tess], I feel lucky to even have someone show up. Marilyn did a great job. My hair looked great. I felt like a million bucks.

I found this silk teal dress for only $35. I love it and can really wear it again.
