I met with Lilian a few times before my wedding. The only difficulty is language communication, since she speaks some English and mainly Vietnamese. I brought lots of pictures to show her what I wanted, and she was able to duplicate what I wanted. I would suggest that you bring pictures with you to show her, so she knows exactly what you want.

Her prices are very reasonable and her flowers are fresh. The only issue I had was the day before my wedding, she calls at 7am and tells me one of the flowers I wanted for my bouquet is not available. I'm not a bridezilla, so I just had her switch the colors of the calla lily and roses around. I was able to keep the same color scheme but not the color of flowers I had in mind. The day of, everything looked gorgeous! I could not complain at all. At first they wanted me to return the columns to her on Sunday, but my wedding coordinator talked her into picking them up from the reception at the end of the night.

I would recommend LKD/Lilian to someone who wants great flowers at great prices. The best prices I've seen!

Sam is an amazing photographer and great to work with. Sam shot our engagement pictures over the 2 hour limit since he miscalculated the sunset and did not charge us extra. We got to have a lot more shots to choose from and all the photos were gorgeous!

It's been over 2 months since our wedding, and I still haven't seen any proofs. I know Sam is booked almost every weekend, but it is frustrating to not see any wedding pictures for so long. Sam was great with our guests and took lots of shots the day of our wedding. I'll have to post an update when we get our pictures back.

Franie was one of my day of coordinators to oversea the entire day, since I already had a coordinator for the church ceremony. I met with Franie a few months before for the initial meeting, then she came with me to visit my ceremony & reception site, she showed up at the wedding rehearsal (even though she didn't have to since the church coordinator took care of everything), and she was there way before everyone else the day of the wedding. She responds promptly and is really sweet and great to work with. I was a little skeptical about her service until the day of the wedding. Not only did my husband rave about how great she was, but tons of guests at the wedding kept commenting on what a great wedding coordinator I had. Franie brought an emergency kit with her with stuff ranging from safety pins, to even midst to help your make-up stay. She kept everything flowing that day, so I didn't have to deal much with the vendors. She charges around $300 for all her services, so it's a steal! I would highly recommend Franie to anyone who wants to have a stress-free wedding day :)

I did a hair & make-up trial with Elaine and was amazed! She did an awesome job and made it look really natural. I was slightly late to my appointment with Elaine on my wedding day, so she rushed through more than the trial. I thought she did a much better job on the trial than my actual day, but it was still beautiful. The make-up last the entire day as well. Elaine is really nice and great to work with.

My mom and 5 other bridesmaids had their hair & make-up done by her assistants, but they don't do half as good of a job as Elaine does. I would recommend Elaine to anyone :)
