My friend, Lise' made my veil. It's hard to see but there was a design on it and she did the edging with a silver thread. She also put clusters of tiny beads throughout the veil. She did a fabulous job. I planned on taking the veil off after pictures but I ended up leaving it on all night. She recently made Cyn&Angel's cathedral veil. She makes custom veils, wedding dresses, costumes, etc. If interested in having a custom veil or dress, you can email me at: klessard13 @ hotmail dot com. She doesn't believe in gouging brides so she charges way below what bridal shops do.

I wanted to do a review of Ida because she was so amazing as a MOH (and used her wedding coordinator skills too). Her and her husband opened their home for my family who came out from the east coast. She supplied the soda and sangria (Mmmm) and we supplied the food. She got a great cake with a bride and groom on it. Ida and her husband Bradley helped transport my dress, centerpieces, favors, etc. to the hotel before the rehearsal. She got there before I did so she called the Catering Manager to see if she could get us in the suite, which she did. She put up a banner with flowers on the door to our suite. Ida brought cupcakes to the rehearsal dinner too (yum). She drove me around everywhere the day before the wedding. She went with me to get my dress from the cleaners. At the last minute, we decided to change the hooks on the veil to a comb. She took me to a tailor to get it changed out and when we went to pick it up, she told them it was wrong and it needed to be fixed that day. She is very assertive, which is something I lack so it was great to have her there for me. She also came back the day after the wedding to transport the gifts, my dress, etc. back home. I couldn't have asked for a better MOH and friend. My family was so impressed with her and told me how fortunate I am to have her as a friend.

I ordered seashells in bulk from this Florida company. The shells are gorgeous and they give you a nice variety. I also ordered white starfish. They pack them well so they arrived in tact. Totally recommend this company for a beach theme wedding.

Before the wedding I was finishing up college and believed I didn't have time to keep track of rsvp's. We hired Angie to keep track of our guest responses. They issued a toll free number for guests to call in (rather than mail back a card), give their reply and receive additional info such as directions, attire, registry info, meal selection,, etc. They also have an option for guests to rsvp on a website. They did an excellent job keeping track and sent us updates twice a week. When guests tried to add on other people, Formal Response contacted us to check and then told them that seating was limited. They also do 2 follow up calls for those that do not respond. This was a great way to deal with rsvp's. It was worth the extra expense.

They did a wonderful job with our rehearsal dinner. When we arrived, the banquet room was set up and ready to go. The service and food were excellent. There were 30 guests and the servers were always there asking to get drinks for us. We chose from a special menu and they set up the buffet as soon as we walked in. Everyone loved the food, even our picky eaters.
We loved our cake! The design was beautiful with the white chocolate sea shells and the cake tasted sooooo delicious. We had marble cake with fudge filling and another layer was white cake with strawberry filling. Everyone raved about the cake. Mario Casias at the bakery is excellent to work with. The cake tasting was the best.
Based on Young and his work at the wedding, our video will hopefully be spectacular. He was everywhere! He is so sweet and worked his tail off. He was behind the trees, bushes, around corners, etc. He prefers communication through email and is very responsive. He is a nervous guy but very nice to work with.
After seeing our friend's wedding album, we hired Daniel immediately. He just gave us the proof book and the photos are gorgeous! The colors are amazing. He directed us through each shot and had us do some silly things so he made it fun. He was really easy to work and an all around nice guy. We are so thrilled with his work, especially since he will give us the negatives once the album is done.
Sue works with a business partner Caroline from Sue's home. They did a great job for two of my friends' weddings so I figured I would try them out. They have been doing weddings for about 10 years and have tons of albums to see. They keep costs low and will work within your budget. I was very happy with my bouquet, girls' bouquets, guest book table flowers and head table flowers. The colors were so pretty and they made everything just as I asked. They delivered the flowers super early and even asked to see my dress. Very nice ladies to work with and gave a great price.

My DH said he was not happy with their service, only one girl working there was pleasant. He said he would not recommend them.
