Amazing service and incredibly fast delivery. They had the best selection of colors in the pocketfold we were using (the Vertico style) with the best price. Highly recommended!

I was seeking out a seamstress to make dresses for my two Jr. Bridesmaids because of the gap in their ages (a very adult looking 13 year old and a 9 year old). It was very difficult for me to find dresses that made dresses for their two ages. Luckily my DOC Paola from Just Chic Events recommended Laura to me. I showed her a picture of a Vera Wang dress I wanted to tweak a little bit to make more age appropriate and she said it would be no problem. When we went for their first fitting, the dresses were so adorable and fit the girls perfectly. My two Jr. Bridesmaids LOVED their dresses and I did too. Laura gets busy in the summer months so it's best to call in advance if you know what style you like. Also her prices are very reasonable for the quality of work she does. And she also tries to be very accomodating in scheduling fittings and dress pick-ups. She's a great find if you want to do custom dresses for any of the girls in your party.

I had my eye on the famous Regina B bracelet made famous by mrsrob'sbuttons and mrs.pootiekins, but when the bracelet came it just really didn't go with my style or my dress. It was a little too bling for me. So I opted to go with their smaller bracelet RH2019 and I loved it. The exchange was extremely easy and I had the new bracelet within a week. Great service!

I love caramel apples and I knew this was the favor for me. The guests raved about how delicious the apples were. I don't think you can beat the prices for the apples anywhere. The box that I used to hold the apple probably cost more than the apple itself. They were a great deal.

My husband wanted a very customized Tungsten band and we were able to work with Vic to get that piece. Initially it was hard to get confirmation that the customized piece would be able to get made so there was some slight confusion initially and we had to be more aggressive in getting an answer from them, but after that it was smooth sailing. The ring took slightly longer than was estimated -- most likely due to the customization and since we ordered very early it really wasn't a problem for us.

Candi is as energetic and as kind as they come. She has a great assortment of sample veils for you to try on and she lets you take as long as you like to make your decision. I never felt pressured at all. Her prices are really unbeatable for the quality of the work she gives you. I ordered a standard cathedral length veil in ivory with pencil trim (I think it was called) and I loved it so much. I loved, loved, loved my veil. I've already recommended her to a couple of my friends getting married and they have all had great experiences with her as well.

Everyone has to know the famous Mahtab. She was a bit of a drive for me since she's located in south OC, but I thought she was totally worth it. She was very nice and gave her honest opinion about certain alterations of the dress. (She even was the one who persuaded me to wear the purple alligator shoes instead). She definitely knows what she's doing and you can tell by just the way she handles the bridal gowns that she is very experienced. The gown fit me like a glove and I picked it up the week before the wedding. I even begged her to alter my mom's gown and even though she was busy, she kindly agreed. And my mom's dress fit her perfectly as well. Now I know why she comes so highly recommended.

Mary Me was the third bridal store that I went to and I'm so glad that I followed the advice of fellow OC knotties to check out this store. The store has a huge selection of both bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses all within one complex in the city of Orange. My bridal consultant Sue really knew her stuff. When she first brought out my dress I told her that it probably wouldn't look that great on my body type. She smiled and asked me just to try it on "just to see." Well, I put that beautiful dress on and there was no turning back. I didn't even want to take it off after she left me alone with it. I took my MOH and mom to come see it that following weekend and everyone agreed it was the dress for me. Sue offered me a great deal, so much so that I decided not to purchase the dress online as I was originally planning to. Plus the store held the dress for me prior to my alterations so I didn't have to worry about it being stored in one of my closets at home. Just a little note that when it was time for me to try on my dress when it came in, I wasn't treated as kindly as I was when I was first looking to buy the dress. I mean don't get me wrong, they weren't flat out rude, but I was given the dress in the dressing room and we had to go looking for a salesperson to help me put it on. Then when I wanted to try it on with some veils they told us just to go to the front of the store and pick out some veils on our own. I'm sure that's how it is at a lot of bridal salons that once they've made the sale you're not as important as when you first walked in. Which was fine me because i decided to take my alterations elsewhere.

The only thing I truly had my heart set on was having a mango cake. Ask anyone, that's really all I would talk about. I decided to use Final Touch Bakery, a vietnamese bakery in Westminster to do my mango mousse w/ fresh mango chunk cake based on a referral from a co-worker and former knottie. Working with the owner, Stephanie was great. Not being vietnamese, it was difficult to communicate with other staff when Stephanie wasn't around. And I changed my mind a couple times...I orginally asked for the cake to be square and then changed my mind to round. But when I saw the cake that night it was square. Not a huge deal since the cake was still beautiful, but another bride might not have been as thrilled to see her cake as I was. That being said, the cake was amazing!!! There wasn't a piece left of it that night. Our guests kept saying that they wanted a second slice! I knew the mango cake would be a huge hit!

Cloth Connection has probably the biggest selection and best pricing on linens in the LA/OC area. Susan and Heather were great to work with. The linens were shipped from their warehouse prior to the wedding day. The linens that we used (a mixture of magenta pintuck, magenta crinkle taffeta, and aubergine lamour) really dressed up our tables and made our wedding look super classy. The linens are an added expense, but if you're able to work them into your budget, I think they were a great investment.
