I am so excited to have Eddie at Commerce Flowers doing the flowers for my spring wedding! Eddie is fantastic, very friendly and attentive. He listened to all my crazy spring themed ideas, and gave me beautiful centerpiece mock ups! Truly beautiful flowers, and on a budget! Eddie has managed to stay within my small budget, despite my huge bridal party. Eddie and Commerce Flowers have been a delight!
This was the third bridal shop I had been to, and the first one where I found - not just one - but two beautiful dresses that I adored! This was also the first store that I had been to where I felt like a bride and was lavished with attention - all without an appointment! When I walked in without an appointment, Angela graciously took me in and showed me several beautiful options. Angela, by the way, is superb! Seriously, you should make an appointment with her because she is very attentive, makes great selections based upon what you want and your budget (several times she helped steer me away from dresses that were way out of price range), she is funny and very reassuring, and she lets you look at yourself in the mirror as long as you want! Overall, this store gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling, A+!
I love cake, and so when I tried my soon to be sister in law's wedding cake (I asked a waiter to serve me some because it looked amazing, and she wasn't serving it as she went to Duke's and served their hula pie instead - I know she is crazy, who chooses ice cream cake instead of cake cake?!) and I knew I had to have this cake for my own wedding! The cake is so moist and the frosting is yumm-y! When I went to try samples, I was given a wide variety - chocolate, vanilla, red velvet, carrot, lemon, marbled, and more - with lots of options for frosting and fillings - there was even a pineapple frosting. I was a little disappointed with taste of the chocolate cake and the red velvet, but I was never going to serve those flavors anyway. Ultimately I went with multiple layer options: marbled with fudge frosting, and yellow cake - shortcake hybrid with fresh cream and strawberries (this - yellow/shortcake - was by far my favorite). I changed my design twice, and it was never a problem. By the way, their turkey sandwiches and cupcakes are also phenomenal, my fiance practically cried with happiness when I brought him one of their cupcakes.

I L-O-V-E Pebbles and adore Monica! Pebbles has an amazing selection with a wide variety of prices, and Monica is a gem! This was the first store where I felt I wasn't limited by my budget - about a thousand - and where every dress that I tried on was gorgeous! Monica was amazing too, she was very attentive, reassuring, and helpful - and not only with dresses, she gave me the name of a cheap DJ because she is also planning her own wedding. I found the dress I had been searching everywhere for and didn't think existed because I couldn't find it (Maggie Sottero "Vienna"), I bought it and the veil (also very beautiful and wonderfully priced - $150) the same day as my appointment. I never once felt pressure to buy the same day, I just knew that this was dress and that the price was right! Truly Pebbles and Monica are beautiful gems in a sea of Bridal Gowns!! You won't be disappointed!!
