The Florida Hotel is such a beautiful hotel with great amenities, but our stay there for our wedding night was less than stellar. We had one credit card on file when we booked the room, but we gave them a different card to charge afterwards. However, they charged both cards! We also had a few extra charges there that we did not authorize, and that was such a pain to argue! We didn't get our complimentary champagne and strawberries for our wedding night, the room wasn't exactly clean (my husband found pills on the ground!), and we had to complain because whoever was next door to us was playing loud music late.

Michaels became like my second home during planning our wedding. Their prices and inventory is amazing that I bought like EVERYTHING there... Favors, candles, supplies, etc. They take expired coupons too!

How can you go wrong with a Publix cake? You can't, because their cakes are not only so moist and yummy, but so beautiful at very affordable prices! We had a 5-tier cake, each tier a different flavor with fillings. I have to say, that by the end of the night, probably half a tier was left!! (Apparently people kept asking for seconds and thirds!) I wanted my cake to be square tiers, which they did, and I brought in a picture of my gown so that they could replicate the beading and lace, which was done perfectly!

JR at Silva Entertainment was just incredible! He played every song that we requested, kept certain songs from being played/requested, and was so enjoyable to party with! He is not one of those cheesy DJs which we absolutely didn't want!

Levan's Catering just rocks! They were so helpful throughout the entire process! Their food was just so good, their service was impeccable - they really treated us well. WE even had our own personal server designated for us! We didn't have to worry about going hungry during pictures because they brought us a plate of food for all of us to nibble on. Everyone raved about how good their food was.

Hands down, Cristy was my FAVORITE vendor! By the time our wedding was over, I felt like she had become our best friend! She is way cool and so laidback. She has such a great eye for photos; she wasn't intrusive, very professional, and her talent is beyond what I expected! You can tell the emotions from each photo that she took!

I was torn in the beginning between silk versus real. I opted for the silk in the end because I wanted keepsakes for everybody that would last. Blossom's provided what I wanted. They came out so beautiful!

Even though our wedding was in July, we both had our hearts set on our ceremony and reception taking place at Leu Gardens (we practically live down the road!) No complaints (aside from the heat!) They provided us with ice and coolers, and even set them up with the bottled water we purchased for our guests to drink during the ceremony. They had everything set-up how we asked, and there were no issues that arose! Leu Gardens is such a beautiful location for your wedding!

I wanted a trendy yet elegant invitation for our wedding. I collected catalogs upon catalogs, but I still didn't find what I really loved. I came across Wedding Paper Divas one day, and within five minutes of searching their site, I found my invitation! It was just perfect! Their price for what i wanted was also reasonble.

I had my heart set on a specific dress by Alfred Sung, and everywhere that I looked the prices for these dresses ranged from $200-$300. I was not about to have my bridal party spend that much on a dress that they didn't pick out themselves, but I really wanted them to wear that dress. Finally I came across Netbride, and they quoted me $165 per dress! HELL YEAH! Each of my girls ordered their dress from Netbride, and they had no issues or complaints!
