The dresses were so darling! They looked adorable on the girls. They were fairly inexpensive as well. However the day of the wedding we had to hot glue gun the flowers back on my nieces dress because they kept falling off.

This restaurant is so adorable and the food is really fantastic! The garden in back is so beautiful and really perfect for a shower.

I worked at Hornblower when we had the engagement party so I thought having the party on the boat was going to a little ho hum for me but I absolutely loved it! It was perfect. It was a really nice day so that was a bonus but it was also really nice for our guest because it was an experience for them too. It was a great length of time (2 hours).

Really, really easy to work with! They are also based in SF. I realized this when I paid $15 to have it shipped and then decided on a different shaped lantern. I brought them directly to the warehouse and avoided paying the shipping charges.

I DETEST working with Carlson Craft! They are so difficult to work with. To get my invitations done I had to call them 10 different times. It was agonizing.

I think I could spend an entire week in paper source. I absolutely love it! I get so inspired to become a very crafty person whenever I enter the store. It is definitely on the pricey side.

Kirsten was great, my dress fit perfectly, it looked so beautiful. My only issue was that my bustle broke right after I started dancing. I think that the dress was just to heavy for the attachment. So I ended up holding my dress for the entire dancing part of the night, but I for some reason didn't mind at all. Glamour and elegance had kind of left me by that point :).

Overall my experience with Kirsten was very good. I did have some issues during the process. At my second fitting my dress fit very strangely and I had to point out the problems and I felt like she didn't really notice. She was also very distracted during the fitting. When I left I was really upset about my dress and I was at the point that I wanted to pick it up and get it altered somewhere else. Kirsten called me the next day and we made an appointment to come back in. After this visit I was totally reassured and it came out beautifully.

Bridesmaid Dresses- Jasmine Dresses, B2, color: New Shell Pink Style #B3308

I hope this doesn't sound snotty but I didn't even look at Jasmine dresses online. I did not like the pictures on their website. They have all these girls with these dresses on sticking out their chests with a fan blowing the dresses and their hair. I thought they looked so cheesy so I didn't take it seriously. When we went to try on the dresses, the Jasmine dresses were all the ones I really liked! They all fit great, looked fantastic and the dress we selected looked so incredible on all the girls.

As far as Netbride goes, I received perfect service from them, it was a completely pain free process and the dresses came in two months!! I purchased the dresses for about $110 which was almost $70 cheaper than Trudy's, which is where the girl's tried them on.

I had a really good experience with my mom buying her dress from Trudys. The salesperson was really helpful, nice and professional. However my experience trying to get bridesmaid dresses there was HORRIBLE. The staff was rude, unhelpful and pretty useless.

A for the results F for the pain

I got a great deal on Brite Smile otherwise I don't think I would have done it (normally $600). The results were great however it was one of the most painful days of my life. Every one of my teeth hurt. It was awful. Not everyone has this reaction, but of course I did.
