for my sister in law's shower we wanted to make favors out of purses but the ones i looked at were too small so i had to create one that would fit just right. i purchased these 12x12 tiffany blue cardstock paper to make them and they turned out really cute!
the package arrived as they said it would but there was a little dent in one of the corner but the paper wasn't damaged as i would have imagined so i'm so glad they packaged it really good.
i've always used paperandmore.com and i am a happy customer to return to them for future projects.

on 9/15/09 i called pictureperfectdecorations.com to make an appointment to come see their chair covers for my wedding. i made the appt for today 9/16 @ 1pm but by the time 1pm came i couldn't make it so i called to change it to 3pm. i got there 5 minutes early. i came to the door, and no answer. i called and no answer so i kept calling and calling. finally i called again and someone answered. she said someone will be there soon to meet me. i waited another 15minutes still no one showed up. finally a car pulled up and he asked me if i had an appt. i said yes of course. well he wasn't pleasant at all, and was irritated which isn't how i wanted to be treated. i came into their "so called" office and it was small but ok. it's not a store front so it looks different than most businesses. anyhow, they had 5 chair displays with chair covers and sashes already displayed in the room. the guy had told me that's all the have. i asked if they had ivory chair covers and he pointed to me the one on the display is ivory (it did not look like ivory to me) so i kept trying to tell him i wanted to match with my table linens. he just kept saying that's what is ivory and that's all we have. anyways, i was hot and irritated with the attitude, they didn't have a price list or something i could take home to show my fiance what their prices are. even though their prices were cheap but the service was below terrible. it's not what a new bride should be experiencing when going to look for wedding stuff. i wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. sorry.

so the dress search was pretty intense. i went to david's bridal, searched online for other bridal salons, considered renting one in san gabriel, temple city area, i did not find anything that i loved. in the end i found mon amie from an oc bridal magazine and thought i'd check it out. the first time i went, the salon was closed but i had met vicki dietz and had made an appt to come back to see her. so i came back and she really helped me out to find a dress that fits my style. i narrowed it down to one dress that i loved but i wanted to go home and think about it. so i kept searching for others to see if i liked any others. well i ended up going back with my fiance so that he can see if he likes it too. so basically, i tried on a few others and ended up with the one i truly loved! it is so beautiful and i can't wait to wear it again for the fitting. i'll update more on that when it comes.
happy planning!

hello fellow reviewers, i'd thought i'd be the first to write about cean one photography. i recently got engaged and is currently unemployed as well, meaning i have lots of time to plan this awesome wedding of mine. i have researched day and night for the right photographer, consulted with bellapictures the most, visited tkjones photography, embrace life, jasmine star, royal photgraphy, vantage photography, and that is not including the others that i have not visited. so far for our budget and our style, cean one fits the best. we have not had the priviledge of getting our photos shot yet since our wedding is next year, but based on the albums at his studio, they were amazing and we were definitely blown away. i originally did not plan on coming to visit his studio because i was worried about going over the budget but cean was very accommodating and customized the package to our budget. cean was very professional, very easy going, we felt we can relate to him and vice versa. so we decided to book with ceanone. we left the studio feeling very confident that his work will be amazing as the rest of the albums we've seen at his studio. also, he matched what bella was offering and more. this is from a bride's point of view and style and i'm sure many of you will understand that. i hope you got something out of this review and you should always think of the long term how your photos will look based on your own style. i will update later once the engagement photo session is done and once i receive my photos. please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions as i'm happy to help.
new bride,
cindy
