My 11-12-11 Fox Hollow-Somerely Wedding: Lighthouse Photography, Jenn the Hair Genie, Sandra Baldini, Couped up, Distinictive Floral Design and more! Long w/lots of Pics

Thank you to LIW for being helpful in my wedding planning. I got engaged in February 2011 and was able to pull off a wedding in November of the same year with the websites help. I believe I would had been lost without it. I’m hoping that my review will help out some future brides as they begin or are in the middle of their planning. This can be a stressful time but enjoy it because the actual wedding day goes by so fast. Have fun ladies!

My simple rating scale:
A-Excellent job, highly recommend
B-Great job and almost perfect
C-Okay, neither great nor poor
D- Eh..not great
F- Stay away!!

ENGAGEMENT
Our place: A
We got engaged on 2/13/2011. My DH cooked a romantic dinner for me the day before Valentine’s Day and then proposed right before dessert. It was romantic and personal to us and a moment I remember forever.
ENGAGEMENT RING
Zales: A
I knew I wanted something different and not the norm, so I saw this three stone blue and white diamond ring at Zales and knew it was what I wanted. And I told the DH that when he asks, this is the ring I want. Later he was able to get a wedding ring to match.



SAVE THE DATES & ADDRESS LABELS
Magnet Street: C
I got save the date magnets and matching address labels from Magnetstreet.com. The magnets were fine, nothing special, but the address labels were terrible. I had gotten them printed with a red background and if you touched them to much the ink ran. If I had known I would have just gotten them in a plain white background.

ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
Location: DUMBO, Photographer: Lighthouse Photography: A
Upon meeting with Florio, we knew instantly that this is the guy we wanted to have our wedding photos done with. He is extremely sweet and we hit it off great. The samples that he has all over his office show how talented he was and we were confident with our choice. So, he offered to take some engagement photos of us, as well, and we were beyond pleased with the final product.




BRIDAL SHOWER
My place: A
My shower was small and intimate at my place. It was planned out by myself and my MOH. Everything went lovely and although some people could not come, I wouldn’t change a thing.

DRESS, VEIL, UNDERGARMENTS & FLOWER HEADPIECE
Davids Bridal, Westbury: A
I know some people don’t like this location because it can get super busy during the weekend but I went in there with 7 printouts of the dresses I wanted to try on so I just gave it to my attendant and she fetched me the dresses. I knew that I hated ballgowns because I do not like all the fabric and puffiness and would feel suffocated in a large dress. The attendant gave me a slip and a long line bra to try on with the dresses. I instantly hated the slip and knew that whatever dress I was gonna fall in love with, will be the one that I won’t have to wear that with. My dress was the 4th dress I tried on and I loved it instantly plus no slip needed. It is a Oleg Cassini trumpet style dress and I was so happy with how it fit and bought it then and there. I bought two simple one tiered veils. One was a cathedral length and the other was a finger tip length and I ended up going with the last one. Also, I had gotten a headband with an attached flower to it. I felt that the headband was too much so I detached the flower and sewed it on a small hair clip and wore that in my hair.



BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES
Davids Bridal, Westbury: A
Being a bridesmaid 3 times, I knew that I hated every single dress I was put in and they always ended up in the back of my closet never to be worn again. I did not want to put my girls through that same thing so I chose a very simple black short dress for them to wear and something they can use it again for any other occasion. The younger bridesmaids loved it because it had pockets for them to put their phone in during the wedding.


MOTHER OF THE BRIDE DRESS
Nordstroms: B
My mother is short and picky so it makes finding dresses for her impossible. So after months and months of trying to find a dress, I found hers online. I knew that it would be very big on her due to her height but my alterations lady was able to fit it to her body. The one thing that my mom disliked about the dress was that there were no sleeves. Luckily from all the fabric that was cut off the seamstress was able to make her sleeves for the dress too.


Flower Girl Dress
JcPenney: A
We were lucky to find this dress in Jcpenneys since they had just put out all the party dresses for little girls for the holidays. It had all the colors and even a rose design to go with the whole wedding theme and she can use it for a couple more special occasions.


TUXEDOS
Mens Wearhouse, Carle Place: B
The tuxedo process went great and everyone looked awesome in their suits the day of the wedding. The reason they get a low score is for the poor customer service afterwards. When you have more than 6 rentals in your party it qualifies the groom to get a free suit up to $450. When we went to go pick out a suit, the salesman was constantly pushing my husband try on suits that were $700 and up. Which are wonderful but for a man who is only gonna use this suit for special occasions, why would he pay more than he wants to. So finally we had to say to him we only want to see suits that are no more than $500, that way we are only paying a little out of pocket. He didn’t seem to like that and then didn’t pay attention to us until after my husband got the suit he wanted fitted and was ready to pay so he could get his commission. But after that ordeal, he did get a nice looking suit that he can use for upcoming weddings we gotta go to.



WEDDING INVITATIONS
TheAmericanWeddingAlbum.com: B
I ordered my invitations on this website because I knew I would get the same quality for less money. The invites themselves were perfect. The problem I had is that I am not a DIYer and I had to attach all the ribbons on myself. They do not come attached and they would fall off in the envelope if I did not glued them on the invite. So it took some time and they probably would have looked better if someone who had patience did them. Other than that, they were inexpensive and they shipped very quickly and I would recommend them.


MISC WEDDING ITEMS

Fabric Rose Brooch
Etsy Vendor-Pigdreams: A
They are made out of a crepe material. They shipped quickly, looked exactly like the picture and can be used again on any other clothing item.


Wedding Dress Hanger
Etsy Vendor-Twistedwords: A
It was very inexpensive and can make any style you like. Great keepsake.


Lace Garter
Amazon.com: A
Amazon is always reliable. Great quality and shipped very fast.



Card Box
Etsy Vendor-ExoticWeddingBoxes: A
It was a bit pricey but it is great workmanship. I am reselling it, if anyone is interested, please FM.


Unity Candle
Etsy Vendor-leighannkline: B
Although the vendor is hard to contact and it takes a long while till you receive the candles, she did produce a beautiful design and I now display it in my china closet.

Unity Candle Holder
Ebay.com: A


Bridal Jewelry
Etsy Vendor-Maylui: A

Cake Topper
WeddingFactoryDirect.com: A
Half the price and equal or better quality.


Bride Hoodie
Victorias Secret: A
Very comfy and flattering on. I bought a pair of plain white sweat pants to match and i spent the whole morning in that outfit.



Shoes
Zappos.com, RSVP-Michelle: A
I was looking all over for a pair of simple, sexy and comfortable pair of red shoes to wear with my dress and after looking everywhere I came across these on Zappos. The great thing about Zappos is the free shipping and returns. So I got two pairs in different sizes to see which one fit better and then sent the one that didn’t fit back. On wedding day, I knew that there was no way I was photographed with flip flops and my wedding dress on, so I braved it the entire day. At the very end of the night, I took them off to say goodbye to guests and walk to the hotel room.



WEDDING FAVORS
'Clearly in Love' Coasters & Favor Tags
Kateaspen.com,: A
They shipped very quickly and the personalized favor tags added that special touch. Great quality and would recommend
White candy coated almonds
Nutsonline.com: A
These were inexpensive for a 5 pound box and shipped very quickly. Were very fresh and delicious.
Red organza bags
Oriental Trading: D
A majority of the bags had the stitching coming off and were useless. Luckily i ordered enough but had to throw out the ones i did not use.
Almond Favor Tags
Jordanalmondflowers.com: A
Cute poem and you can customize them with your names and wedding date. Shipped quickly.


ALTERATIONS
Alterations by Millie-Floral Park: A
I knew that I was definitely not going to take my dress back to Davids Bridal to get alterations after hearing a ton of horror stories. So I found this sweet lady named Millie in Floral Park that does alterations in her house. She is inexpensive, very experienced and worked on my dress and my mothers. When I went in for alterations I had lost a lot of weight and she had to take 3 inches in on each side. It took about 5 alterations to get it right and I was very happy. My mother’s dress also was extremely big on her and she fitted it to her body and added sleeves for a low price The one mishap I had was when I took my dress home a week before the wedding it fit perfectly but I had lost a little more weight in that week and on wedding day my MOH had to lift the dress every couple hours because it would lower down a bit as I moved alot. These things happen but I don’t think anyone but us noticed.

DAY BEFORE & NIGHT OF ACCOMMODATIONS
Fox Hollow Inn: A
I got the one bedroom suite for myself, my mother and two bridesmaids the night before the wedding. It was very big and very luxurious. My mother instantly slipped into the plush robe they had in the room and relaxed. In the morning they have a great breakfast buffet and we took full advantage of that.

After the wedding was over, Fox Hollow gives you a night stay in their hotel in the Royal Suite. Our bridal attendant took all our wedding stuff to the room and checked us in. Everything was lovely and I would love to go back again for a mini getaway.

MAKEUP
Sandra Baldini:A
After having a horrible trial with another makeup artist on LIW, I was doubtful that anyone knew what they were doing. But I found Sandra and was hopeful going for a trial with her. I booked her immediately after my trial and I was glad that I did. On wedding day she had everyone laughing and having a good time. She is truly very talented and a joy to work with.



HAIR
Jenn 'The Hair Genie':A
I went to one hair trial and that was with Jenn. I wear clip in hair extensions almost daily and I needed someone that can work with them. I booked her immediately after my trial for myself, mom and bridesmaids. She came very early in the morning, as i requested, and immediately went to work. I never saw everyones hair look as great as it did that day including my own. She is a true 'Hair Genie' and you can't get any better.



VIDEOGRAPHY
Rob @ Couped Up Productions: A
I contacted him to video the ceremony part of our wedding because this was the only portion we cared to have on video. He was very friendly and from past reviews we were confident he would do a great job. On wedding day, my husband and I were surprised to see him follow the photographer before and after the ceremony to film us getting pictures taken to add to the video. He sent us video picture stills from the video the next day and we received the final product a little over a week afterwards. We were so happy with the results and I did not cry during the ceremony but I did when I saw the video. I definitely recommend him for videoing all or any portion of your wedding.


WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
Florio @ Lighthouse Photography: A
What can I say about Florio that I have not said already? Basically, it doesn’t get any better than him! He came promptly at 7:30am and started taking pictures of everything he knew we wanted pictures of. There was a small mishap on time scheduling to get pictures done before the ceremony but my husband and I decided to take some time during cocktail hour to get all the pictures we wanted done. Florio and I also slipped off during the reception to take some bridal portraits I wanted as well. He was with us for a good 10 hours and the final product is awesome. We have beautiful pictures that we will be cherishing for life and I definitely recommend him to future brides.



FLOWERS
Distinctive Floral Design: B
I knew I wanted low centerpieces with all red flowers but was not going to pay and arm and leg for it. It was coming very close to the wedding and I still did not have flowers. So I met with Kelly and she helped pick out the perfect flowers for my wedding. She had a sample ready for me in a week and I was very happy with my choice. She did all the flowers for myself, my girls, family, the tables and the cake. On wedding day, I loved all of the bouquets and cake flowers, however, my centerpieces were supposed to have red berries in them and when i checked them they were missing. They were beautiful but i would have loved to seen them with the berries and they would had been better.



DJ
G&F Global Entertainment: A
We met Frank months before the wedding to set up DJ Services and he was very friendly. My husband is a musician himself and was in no way gonna give a DJ the freedom to play whatever he wanted to play. We told him that we would be setting up his playlist and giving him CDs as well. Frank was totally okay with that and in fact said that it will only make his job a lot easier. For the ceremony, he had a CD of the songs to play, for the cocktail hour, he had an hour long CD my husband made for him to play and during the reception he went off a detailed list of songs we wanted to hear and genres not to play. He blended the music perfectly and did a great job. Mostly girls were dancing as the men that attended only listen to rock and don’t dance which we knew already, but it did not take away from the fun. Seeing as flexible as they are, I would recommend them for any event.



VENUE
Fox Hollow-Somerley Room: A
When we got engaged we were on a budget and knew that we could not afford too much for a venue. So we had set up appointments on the same day with three different venues and Fox Hollow was the first one. Upon arriving we loved the place and met with Ken to speak about what he can offer us. He told us that they had a new room being built called the Somerely and that it was on pre construction price because it was not done yet. We saw the plans and draw up of the room and we fell in love. When he told us the price, we knew that this was place and we canceled all the other appointments.

The ceremony in this room was absolutely beautiful and we were lucky to have a sunny day outside so the sun was pouring through the glass roof and made it seem we were outside. Also, a month before the wedding we had told the venue that we will be bringing our own Belgian beers that the husband and his friends drink and they were totally okay with that. On wedding day they had all the beers we brought chilled and ready for serving. My bridal attendant Renee was very attentive all day and probably more helpful than the maitre d. She was going above and beyond her job to make sure we were catered to like royalty. We did not attend the cocktail hour but did have a chance to eat some of the food in our bridal suite and it was very yummy. The reception went off with no issues and the food and service were excellent. Our cake that we choose was a chocolate cake with chocolate mousse filling and whipped cream icing. It was beautiful and tasted even better. Overall, Fox Hollow does a excellent job and I highly recommend them.

BEFORE:

AFTER:










MINI MOON
Cove Haven Resorts(PA), Pocono Palace: A
We have been here before and this would be our 3rd time and would make us forever lovers at the resort. When we checked in they gave us 25% off items at the gift shop, a box of chocolates, a lovely congrats card and an upgrade to the largest room they have which is the Roman Towers. The room has two floors, and indoor sauna room and heart shaped pool which we love. Unfortunately, it rained on two of the three days we were there. However they have many activities to do like couple games, live entertainment, a large game room and the nearby Mount Airy Casino. Also, during our stay my husband participated in one of their trivia challenges twice and won a medal, a bottle of champagne and another nights stay. So despite the rain we had a wonderful mini-moon celebration and we will be coming back for years to come.

Great review, it was super helpful! I am very interested in the Somerley, but have not been there yet to physically look at it. I know the Fox Hollow does many weddings at once, which I read in reviews can be a problem sometimes. Their website says that the Somerley is set apart from the rest of the venue, do you mind letting me know if this is true? We will be having a large guest count so it is hard to afford a venue that we like that only does one wedding a day. Did you have issues with running into other weddings? I see that your wedding was on a Saturday which I know is the busiest day, but we have to do it on a Sunday. Anyways thank you in advance!

Yes, it is separate from the other rooms and it has separate everything (bathroom, bridal suite, entrance etc) I only saw a bride arriving when we were taking pictures out on the grounds, other than that, i never saw them or their guests throughout the entire day.
