Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

For those of you who have gotten married already or are getting married soon when did you start making arrangements for things, such as picking your cake etc????

TIA

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

We didn't choose cakes and finalize anything up until about three weeks before so don't worry - it wouldn't hurt to give them a call also to remind them (if it's like a month before) that you still need to do that.

HEllo ladies,

I am not sure if any of you booked Adriana for your flowers. We had booked her back in January. The other day I called her to set up a meeting and she told me that she could not do our wedding any more do to health issues. Just wanted to let you know this way if you do have her booked you can call her.

Now we decided to go with Flowers by Brian.

Hi Hawks Nest,
I almost went with Adriana, I loved her work but she wanted me to sign a contract & was only giving me an estimated price not an exact price on what the flowers would cost for the day of my wedding.

I ended up going with Dyker Florist designs in bensonhurst, Brooklyn. They made me a sample CP of exactly what I told them I envisioned for my wedding & it was beautiful. If anyone is still looking for a Florist these guys are awesome they are brothers who are young & in tuned with new & upcoming designs for modern brides.

well i am so glad that I am not the only one that had a bad experience with Adrianna ... I loved her work ad one of her CP caught my eye at one of the showcases at Russo's so I made an appt. with her.... she made me wait over 30 minutes for her at my appointment and when I finally got to go inside to talk to her she told me she thought I cancelled earlier , she hardly had any pics to show me, couldnt give me much ideas, her estimated price for my CP's were extremely high.... and to top it all off when she asked me what my wedding date was she told me she didn't know if she could take my wedding because her daughters wedding was in June and she wanted to concentrate on her daughters wedding so if she did take my wedding it would be the last one!!!! I was extremely disappointed !!!!!!!! I walked out saying that was the worst appointment wedding related ... very bad vibes!!!!

Went to my finalization meeting yesterday!!!!!! My mouth was drooling going over the menu...

Russo's looks amazing as always! But it was great to see it decorated with pumpkins and all. I can not believe my wedding is 1 month away!

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

Wow is it only one month more for you?

Time does fly- we finally got our video and album back from Tony Ferrari in early September and all I can say it was simply amazing! I loved the video and also the albums.. DH's parents were stunned with theirs and loved the video as well.

They also gave me a DVD of ALL the proofs- I have to get them online somehow but as soon as I do I'll let everyone know.

You look absolutely beautiful. You & your new husband looked like you had the time of your life. I finally picked my photo & video place & will all the great reviews other brides gave them & all the photo places I went with, I signed with Tony Ferrari I think I made the best choice.

Please let us know when your review is up I can't wait to read it. Congratulate again!

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

You look amazing as does your DH!

I do hope that you let us know when your review is up!

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

One week to go.. Still need to chose cake....aaahhhhh

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

The French Cream filling is a good choice because if you are having Vienese Hour there will be things out there with the other flavors like chocolate mouse, etc.

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

what a beautiful bride you were !!!!!

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

for past brides who had the tivoli room.... how many people did you have??? i think i may have estimated too low and i am worried!

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

I had 140!

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

Did you have to divide the room for 140?

Re: <3 Official Russo's on the Bay Thread <3

No we had the whole room and it was perfect. It did not look empty but everyone had plenty of space.
