Annie was hands down one of my favorite vendors. After reading the reviews on PW and getting a list of possible make-up artists from my Coordinator, I decided to meet with Annie for a trial.

The trial was so fun. It was like girl talk while listening to Ingrid Michaelson. I had a blast. She took so much time and really listened to my wants and my vision for our wedding day. After she was finished, we worked together to make any modifications until I was 100% satisfied. She was very open to what I had to say and took so much time to work with me to make the look perfect!

The day of was even more amazing. She brought her warming personality and soothing presence into our living room and fit right in with the vibe of the day. She has such a calming presence that under her brushes, you really feel taken care of and relaxed.

I have had my make-up done many times in my profession, so I was afraid that I wouldn't feel like it was special "wedding day" make-up. But I can say with certainty that I have never EVER felt or looked more beautiful as I did that day, and I really have to thank Annie for that.

If you are looking for a make-up artist who really knows what she's doing and you want a confidant, calming, warm and genuine person helping you get ready on your wedding day...BOOK ANNIE!!!

We had a great experience with the Cake Sisters. They were one of the few bakeries that we found that had a really yummy red-velvet cake, at no additional charge. I took them a picture of what we wanted it to look like and they made it look even more beautiful than the picture! When we walked into the reception and saw the cake, we both gasped. They asked me to bring them a swatch of my wedding dress fabric so they could match the frosting to my dress...WHAT!??! Amazing attention to detail with these ladies!

We also got our groom's cake from them and it was SO creative and unique. They are very easy to work with and very reasonably priced.

I think they are a great choice for Pasadena weddings as there is no delivery fee.

OH, and the red velvet wedding cake was some of the best cake I've ever had!

I had a wonderful experience at the Monique Salon in West Hollywood. I was a little intimidated walking in at first, but after meeting with my bridal consultant, I was immediately put at ease. Megan was my consultant and she was BY FAR the best consultant I worked with at any of the salons I went to in LA, and I went to SO many!

Also, the alterations lady here, Wendy, was remarkable. She did not stop until I was 100% satisfied with every little detail. She went above and beyond and even stitched my Great Uncle's handkerchief into the lining of the dress for my something blue.

Together Megan and Wendy made my experience at Monique Lhuillier amazing! I felt like I really found the perfect dress for me and I have the ladies there to thank for that!

HIGHGLY RECOMMENDED!
