My fairytale Princess wedding! 1/18/14 Fox Hollow Somerley, Janelle Brooke, BodyRock, Distinctive, AJ Ingoglia, Cheeky Details, Tara Benish, Bre Kalli, Pastor April, Jessica Leigh Paperie, & Lancelot!

I’ll rate everything A-F scale :) I wrote most of this in a word file for a week so yeah it's a lot!
I feel like we had the dream team of wedding vendors. I really feel like my wedding went so perfect but having a DOC that’s probably why lol. The day will come & go by so fast..... It feels like such a blur now. Get ready for a few things to go wrong though and people to randomly not show up etc…. I’m a control freak so I was so upset when things didn’t go perfect etc lol. With that being said……

LIW A+++++++++++++++++++++++
This website has been so helpful the entire time. Anytime I wondered or was curious about anything I’d just put up a post and get tons of answers :) I’m the most indecisive second guessing bride to ever exist so it was just so extremely helpful. Cannot rave enough about this website. Thank you for everyone who ever commented or helped me out :) I basically planned this wedding by myself as most of my girls have never been married and my moh was a bride herself and extremely busy until Oct (her wedding). I love this website so much I for a week worked so hard on this review hoping it in someway helps other brides.


Engagement (this obviously gets a A++++++++++++++++ rating lol)
We actually went ring shopping in Jan 2012 after our 1 year anniversary because he wanted to make sure he knew exactly what kind of ring I wanted. After like 5 months of me thinking Valentine’s day proposal, date in the city proposal? Easter proposal? He finally proposed June 1st 2012 on the maid of the mist boat in Niagara Falls. It was raining that day and he seemed mad at me he was so quiet. It was actually because he was so nervous. Suddenly as we came by the falls water spraying us in the face along with the rain he was on his knee with a ring. I remember saying omg a 100x and then he put the ring on my finger as I was shaking. I couldn’t wait to get back to land and inside the gift shop so I could call my mom and my BFF. It was definitely a proposal I won’t ever forget and definitely different :) I also texted my dad who that very day was telling his coworkers he had a feeling I’d come back engaged…..

The ring! (A+++++++++++ for Good Old Gold)
We first went looking at Cambridge in the Roosevelt field mall. My best friend’s brother had just gotten his fiancés ring there and had a great experience. They also really worked with him on price. They seemed very nice and had really nice rings but seemed really expensive. The guy we met with didn't seem willing to work with any prices. Anyway so as I complained to my girl how expensive the rings were at Cambridge she told me about good old gold in Massapequa. So I found some gorgeous diamonds on the GOG website and sent them to my boyfriend saying one of these :) he secretly went behind my back to go see them all in person. When he went there he sat down with them for over an hour just talking about diamonds and learning everything then he picked one. He at first purchased a smaller different version of ring so I wouldn’t know he was going to propose. I was a fanatic and secretly checking to see if any of the diamonds were bought like on a weekly basis, because I had saved all the links of what I sent him and he of course knows I’m crazy like that so he knew what to do lol. Anyway we went back to upgrade to one of the ones I loved once we got home. That’s how I learned they have a lifetime upgrade policy so we can go in anytime and get a bigger diamond in the future if we want to. Which I definitely want to do one day lol. I love my ring and they were so great!!!

Asking my girls!
One thing I couldn’t wait for was asking my girls I went a bit crazy on goody bags for them. I had them all over for takeout dinner and my dad served us like a waiter lol. His idea! Not mine. He also went and picked up the food from Café Baci for us.
Café Baci A++++++++ as usual. When is their food not good? I’ve been going there for years in Westbury. I only wish they had a private party room! It was the first place I thought of when I wanted to do a dinner and get takeout.


Etsy sellers I used for their goody bag products

The cookies I got from the Sugar Chic and were so yummy. My dad’s dog (r.i.p.) who was obviously alive at the time, snuck into the living room and ate 2 cookies the day before I was giving them to my girls!!!!! I was so upset. There was no time to get new ones. I just went to Dortonis and got my cousins butterfly cookies. I guess it was sort of funny the dog went and grabbed them off the table, he was a German Shepard I never even considered him taking one lol I only worried about my chihuahuas not being able to steal them.
A+++++++++++++++++ for the Sugar chic

The bags were my creative project and I got them from Michaels and decorated them with stuff from the scrapbook aisle. Only creative thing I’ve done in my life lol. Can I rate myself? I think they came out great so A+++++++ for the bags.

Fox Hollow A++++++++++++++++
Deciding on the hall.
The second I walked into Fox hollow many years ago I fell in love. Anyway I always wanted to be sure of my hall, I didn’t want to find out years later oh wow I didn’t know about that place etc. I dragged my 2 girls and we went to basically every hall on long island (I’m nuts lol) really besides the mansions or other out of my budget places I saw everything. Anyway just nothing I saw really wow’d me like fox did. I also loved how it wasn’t too far away and in the end I didn’t want to be an hour away. It was like I just knew that’d be the place for us. Then I heard about the new room and had to go see it. I just fell in love all over again and even more so than the original room I loved there. I then dragged my fiance to see the fox and he fell in love too. So then my fiance gave me the okay if we wanted to book Fox he was happy. We went back a few days later with my dad got some extras we wanted and booked :) then got to go eat some food for free! Greatest thing was seeing how yummy the food was. And we were able to go back for dinner up to 6 of us, all we had to do was pay for our entrees. Free apps and drinks :) it was so yummy and it was the first time our mom’s met so it was special. I also love the idea for anniversaries we can go to dinner there and eventually even take our kids :) also we dealt with Bruce and he was amazing. I do actually remember his name because we met him more than once :) Plus I loved the hotel next door.

The day of our wedding A+++++++++++++
Now I am horrible with names so I have no idea who our Matre D was or Bridal attendant. I just know they were very good! The day went by so fast. The only thing that annoyed me was doing our ceremony rehearsal and people were right in the hallway and they could have had the elevator waiting for me to hop into! Instead lots of guests saw me and started saying hi as we waited for the elevator lol. Sort of awkward. I felt weird seeing so many people before the ceremony. Also when we were going into the ceremony they had people who couldn’t get in the ceremony in time sitting right in the lobby where we went to stand and wait to walk in. I yelled at my friends for being late lol. Our bridal party was like the highlight of the night was Crystal screaming at people for being late as she’s about to walk down the aisle……. :) being a bride is stressful! I just didn’t expect to walk into the lobby and see like 8 people waiting to get into the ceremony after we went in…. I loved Fox hollow though and the food was beyond amazing. It tasted just like the restaurant which was a huge shock to me and my family. Not that we expected it to be not as good but wedding food usually isn’t that good as it was :) we had a DOC so I have no idea if anything went wrong. To my knowledge we had a perfect day lol. I’d like to keep it that way :) they also packed up food for us and the top of our cake, even the extra cake they had leftover which I’m hoping my dad finished while we were on our honeymoon. I can’t rave about Fox Hollow enough and I’m so happy with my choice.

The Inn at Fox Hollow A++++++++++++
the hotel is gorgeous. only annoying thing is not only did I make it clear from day one I wanted my dog there but that I also wanted the bridal suite. yet the day before I was to check in they let me know the dog couldn't be in there because of the fake wood floor? come on. I brought the dog in anyway. the floors were fine! besides that they were great. also they forgot to give a few bags out but we sent people back to get them! Yeah look at my big Chihuahua going to ruin the floors lol. So silly...

Our Engagement Party A++++++++++++++
From the second we looked at rings I thought to have our engagement party at my uncle/aunt’s huge gorgeous house in Northport. I just love that area and I am in love with their house. Anyway so I sent my aunt a text (yes a text) all my friends were like you need to take her out to lunch, and butter her up. My family is the most real and honest family in the world so if you want to ask something it’s like just do it, no need for kissing ***. Anyway so after 2 days of no response I started thinking maybe I should have taken her out and buttered her up? Then I got a phone call from her saying yes, she was just checking with my uncle and seeing available dates. Only bad thing was instead of a nice fall day on a Saturday I wanted where it’d be cooler out we had to go with August 5th and a Sunday. Because my cousin wanted to attend and it was her only available weekend before heading back to college upstate. My aunt also told me a great tent/tables/chairs rental place to use which was much cheaper than any place I called. My dad freelance’s in catering with one of his best friends sometimes since he’s in that business and his best friend offered to cater our engagement party for an amazing price instead of just getting some trays of food from a restaurant. Plus my dad was like his mentor and taught him all he knows. No idea what it cost, but my dad was happy with it so it must have been good.

All in One Rentals East Northport, NY A++++++++++
They gave a great price for everything compared to any other popular place I called. I mean literally half the price of all the other places. My aunt found them in the penny saver. I was afraid at first because they weren’t this big company but it was perfect.

Alice’s Teacup A++++++++++++ for our engagement cake
My dad’s friend who catered our engagement party also let me customize our cake and got it from Alice’s teacup in nyc. The cake was exactly what I imagined, designed and amazing. I literally sent him the shape I wanted, the design, the colors and said do this. I was so worried it’d not come out right but it’s like he read my mind. Or just knew exactly what I meant and got it perfect.

Shawn Jones Catering A++++++++++++++++++
My dad’s friend who did our engagement party was amazing. Beyond amazing. I’m a very picky eater and didn’t eat a lot of it but all our guests were loving it. He’s my dad’s BFF so I have no idea what he charged my dad or what he charges in general but it was great and delicious food. He also opened his own restaurant now in NYC.

Ivvarone Brothers A++++++++++++++++++
My fiancé’s mom wanted to contribute something so she got a huge seafood boat from here. They delivered it in this awesome little boat which a few days later they picked up (my aunt was sad she wanted to use it in her garden lol) I don’t really eat seafood so I ate nothing but people went nuts over this boat my mom wouldn’t even move away from it. It just added to our engagement party and gave everyone something to talk about.

Other things for engagement parties (we had 2 one in NY and a little one down south)

My custom made Ke$ha earrings
https://www.etsy.com/shop/heartSunshine
I'm a huge Ke$ha fan so when I randomly found the designer who made her earrings for a music video I had to have them! I wore these to the one my mom threw us down south. I also wore 2 different express dresses to both parties. I love Express!

Bachelorette Party #2
We went to visit my mom down south and partied in New Orleans on Bourbon street all dressed up. had a great time, can't remember where we stayed it was thru my mom's timeshare. also ate this delicious place called the Italian Barrel. Spent 2 days in NO than out at my mom's lounging by the pool. Only 2 of my girls came since no one else could afford to.

Janelle Brooke Photography A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I knew I’d want someone special as our photographer not just the typical. I knew I’d want romantic not your average pictures. I wanted someone who could take awesome random shots and the posed shots. I basically just wanted someone awesome :) plus I wanted someone I clicked with. You need to click with a photographer. If you have any dislike your pictures will show it. So as I was having a rough week on my hardcore diet I at first let my fiancé do most of the talking until I perked up from my energy bar when we went to meet her. She was just amazing especially calling my ring bling :) I Just love that word bling! Anyway we just felt so at ease with her. I also loved the idea of a girl photographer because I just saw fun girly times. The day of our wedding she came with Terri and they both got right to work. They were on top of everything. I can’t wait to have babies one day and have her do pictures of our babies :) I am so in love with our wedding photos sneak peek that I’m so surprised we got so fast & cannot wait to see them all! Everyone says they are the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen, like a fairytale.

Engagement Shoot A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Our engagement shoot was perfect with her. We brought 2 of our Chihuahuas along (we have 3 but 2 was enough) she was just so creative and so amazing. The whole ride home my fiancé couldn’t stop talking about how happy he was. This was around when I had my allergic reaction from Mexico also and she didn’t mind my random scratching once in awhile lol. I just love our engagement pictures so much. I still love to just look at them and go wow. I can’t wait to be showing our kids one day :)

AJ Ingoglia A+++++++++++++++++++++
I originally didn’t want video then came to my senses and changed my mind after seeing his work. He was amazing and I haven’t even seen our video yet but I can just imagine. His videos made me want a video guy that’s just how great he is. Everyone loved him. FH loved him from the second they met as they bonded over love of the walking dead :)

Body Rock DJ A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Once I found out Body rock was the dj who owned the lights etc in our room I figured we’d probably go with them. I read a few bad reviews on yelp and got worried. I then read reviews on here and felt better. Then saw them during a showcase and felt even better. I dragged FH to meet 1 other dj before them which we weren’t sure about, then we went to meet Body Rock. We loved them and we booked on the spot. If you are getting married in our room how can you not want to use all the lights? Anyway the day of our wedding we met our MC which as I said I am horrible with names so I have no idea his name but he was amazing. Supposedly he looks like Wayne Brady lol that was his nickname from my friends. They loved him. They actually were all trying to get him to come party at the hotel next door with us at the after party lol. I think friends even got pictures with him and might have dragged him into the photobooth. Everyone loved him. Our dancefloor always had people dancing. The percussionist was the best decision ever by the way! It just added to our party :) our dj was so awesome. I cannot recommend body rock enough. Just so easy to work with. They even let us add extra pictures to the montage for free.

Makeup A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ my soul mate makeup artist lol
I knew this was going to be very hard just because I am so picky about makeup. I love makeup, it’s my life, seriously since I was 5 years old. I freelance doing makeup once in awhile and I also get my makeup done a lot just for fun plus it teaches me new things anytime someone does mine. Most wedding makeup artists are used to girls who want to look very natural and I wanted crazy dramatic smokey eyes like I was going out partying, I wanted very glamorous, over the top but still elegant! Like a celebrity! :)I knew I’d do a lot of trials just to find the perfect one for me. This was the hardest part of planning for me to be honest. I finally booked one after over 10 trials. Then as I looked for a makeup artist for my bach party I fell in love, pure makeup artist love. I stalked her facebook for months before contacting her to do my engagement shoot makeup because I loved her work so much. The second we met, after she did my makeup, it was just like OMG. I felt like I met my soul mate makeup artist. So then I booked her instead for my wedding because I couldn’t imagine not having her. Our engagement shoot I felt like a princess I couldn’t stop looking at my makeup and smiling. I loved it so much. I highly recommend her. I rave about her. On our wedding day no one could stop talking about my eye makeup and took so many pictures of it. Even at Fox they were like omg. I wore my favorite Saint Germaine Mac lipstick which a lot of people thought was candy yum yum lol. :) My friends now want to get their makeup done all the time after her :)
Bre Kali A+++++++ I could rave about her forever and probably will lol.

Hair! Style by Tara A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I’m horrible with my hair I mean besides straightening it, that's all I can do so I love when other people can do something with it. I did a few hair trials and just no one got that look I wanted. I booked one who came close. I didn’t like when I’d ask about a timeline and she’d just ignore me. Brides are crazy we need answers. So I started looking elsewhere because I basically felt like I didn’t have a hair girl…… then I met Tara. We clicked instantly and she got the look I wanted exactly. I got hair extensions and just omg the day of my wedding she nailed the look. I can’t stop looking at pictures of my hair that day. I loved it so much. She made me look like the glamorous princess I wanted to be! I booked her all day package so she could keep touching up my hair then eventually put it up so I could dance all night long :) on top of doing hair she also got us drinks!! She was just amazing. I even told our DOCS that my parents should tip her more which they did lol. My husband loved her, he was like Tara was the best. She kept getting him his Hanseltinis :) which was his signature drink. All my girls also loved her, everyone loved this woman. I felt like she was my 2nd bridal attendant lol and even got us food :)

Limos now this we used 3 different companies at one point so I will rate them all separately.

M&V Limo F!!!
I booked M&V because they had a cute pink limo and I wanted it for my bridal shower to take me and my girls. The guy snuck out to open the door for us so we couldn’t see the huge hole in it. It was dirty inside but we figured they’d clean it and we booked them. When we went to leave we saw the hole but it was too late we booked them…. We then changed the limo to the escalade because it looked nicer. The day of my shower the limo driver called me the BRIDE for directions. I had to sit there and give this guy directions. Out of the 25 years of living here I never had anyone get lost coming to my house. It’s so easy to get to my house. THEN we left late of course since he was LATE. 30 minutes later I’m like why aren’t we in Merrick? I mean it’s not that far of a drive from me. We look out the windows and realize he took us to the wrong La Piazza in Melville. Um if you aren’t sure which restaurant since there are 3 of them maybe ask? They tried to claim that’s the only one to come up. GOOGLE IT RIGHT NOW LADIES! All 3 come up. There is no way you could think there is only 1 of them. We all googled it and argued no way did only Melville come up. Anyway so then he had no idea how to get to Merrick (they obviously don’t own gps) and since I didn’t bring my gps my girl tried to give him directions. He ended up just driving back towards Mineola which I’m sure there was a shorter way but whatever. We got to my bridal shower an hour late. They ruined my bridal shower basically. We had to rush through everything. What a mistake that was. We only booked them because they did a pickup/drop-off. I should have just used Lancelot!!!! This was the only regret of our entire wedding. I feel so bad for any bride who uses them for her wedding because I can’t even imagine. Oh yeah and nothing in the limo worked not the radio, not the ipod thing, nothing! and the AC wouldn’t shut off so we got nice cold air blowing in our faces and no way to shut it off. It was the worst limo ride we ever had. We all cuddled together and sang songs though lol.


Camelot A++++++++++++++
My girls booked Camelot for my bachelorette party. Lancelot didn’t have the Chrysler I wanted anymore so they booked it through this place. They showed up early and were so fantastic. I loved the limo. It was new and just that jet door was so awesome.


Lancelot A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The second I called Rob I knew this would be our limo company and I went to meet him with my BFF who was also getting married. Everyone insisted we meet more limo companies so I dragged FH to do that. After meeting a few we ran right back to Rob after I just kept saying how great he was. My fiancé also loved him once he met him and texted me in middle of our meeting like okay let’s book! Lol. We got a stretch for the guys, an infiniti for the girls and then a Bentley to take photos with at old westbury gardens. Everything was on time, the limos were amazing, and I just loved them. They took pictures along with our photographer in front of the Bentley :) anytime I want a limo I will be going back to Lancelot.

They sent us a nice stretch limo to take us to the airport & pick us up for our honeymoon :) just so perfect. The drivers were all so nice. That’s my limo company for life and their folder is purple! I just took that as a sign they were the company for me from day one :) we are also going to use them for our trip to Cali in April cannot wait I know we'll def have a great ride to the airport.

The Dress Bridal Reflections A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My mom lives down south so when I went to visit her I agreed to look at dresses and liked this one dress at David’s Bridal which I now call the one dress at the time that didn’t make me look fat. I was about to go on a diet and wanted to lose 60+lbs so I thought let’s wait. My mom though not wanting to feel left out made me feel guilty that this would be the only time we’d be shopping for dresses together that it wasn’t fair she couldn’t shop with me etc. so I caved and got it. The second we left all I could think was it didn’t feel right. It didn’t feel like the one and I was pretty sad. Months later after losing weight I no longer liked my dress, actually I hated it. Though it’s a nice dress it just wasn’t what I wanted or the one for me. I always loved Eve of Milady and had hoped to get one. I barely got to go dress shopping and was pretty upset about it and the whole situation. When my grandma came to visit in March and I dragged her to all the bridal stores and I found the dress of my dreams an eve of milady at princess bridals. The second I put it on I had tears in my eyes and I had my moment :) Deep down I always wanted to get my dress from bridal reflections in Carle place though. Since I was little when I’d go to the McDonalds with my girls I’d say that’s where my wedding dress will come from! (It’s across the street and has such a pretty display) I really always envisioned it from there so I had to go there and see if they had my dress….. I was beyond ecstatic when they pulled out dresses and I saw my dress. I was about to leave for Europe so we had to hurry and get the money from my mom to me so I could buy the dress. When my dress came in months later just omg. I can’t even describe it. Of course I lost the 62lbs I wanted to lose so the dress was big on me! My alterations I was nervous about because I read a lot of bad reviews but mine went great. Beyond great. Everyone at our wedding couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful my dress was. I didn’t want to take my dress off. I actually want to do a day after shoot because I miss my dress so much lol. It just fit me so well. It was the exact princess/glamour dress I wanted. Really I was beyond happy with them and the staff.

Pink cake box A++++++++++++++++++
I always knew I wanted a crazy cake for the wedding and my shower. I don’t even really like cake personally. I never eat it. Even as a kid I always rather a shake or a bowl of ice cream then cake. Half the time I wouldn’t eat my own cake :) so it looking cool means more to me plus I like things that stand out, and I am always over the top with things lol. In nyc it was like $2500-$4000 for a cool cake! Come on. So when I saw about pink cake box and they are just outside ny I thought why not and checked out the website. I’m not even joking when I say I’ve already planned out my future baby shower cake and my kids first birthday cake by them in my head lol. It only took a little over an hour to get there from long island BTW. The cake tasting was amazing especially the one day I cheated on my diet :) I’ll never forget that day because cheating made it all the more delicious. It was also a ton of fun designing a cake as she sketched it out and we picked colors out of a book :)

Anyway my bridal shower cake which came first was stunning and delicious though I barely got to eat it since I was so rushed around at my shower. My FMIL who loves to cook and bake along with FSIL went nuts taking pictures. They loved it. It was the talk of my party besides me :) I actually designed the cake over the phone with them and by sending pictures of certain cakes I liked that they had done, along with saying I want mac makeup on it lol. It was super easy. They are just so easy to deal with.

Wedding cake
Our wedding cake which we had designed with her in the shop came out exactly as we wanted it. It was so delicious. Everyone went crazy taking pictures of our cake. I couldn’t have asked for a better cake then what she designed. As I said above they are so doing my future baby shower cake in a few years lol.

Bridal Shower La Piazza A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I planned my own shower! My mom doesn’t live around here so it was basically my job along with help from my girls plus my mom hates this kind of stuff and wanted nothing to do with anything besides to throw money lol. My aunt originally said have it at her house when she thought I was having like 20 people only, when it turned out it was 50 she said no. so 3 months before we started calling tons of places on long island and most were booked. It was graduation/conformation weekend. After having a panic attack and literally calling 20 different booked places La Piazza in Merrick was available, we went running to see and I fell in love. Booked it on the spot :) they offered us a free dinner the night we went to pay and drinks which was amazing. It’s funny I hadn’t even tried the food but booked there, I just had a feeling it’d be okay. The day of our food was just as amazing. I never knew a buffet could be so good. And I have no idea what they put in those mimosas but they were the best I have ever had in my life. My MIL still is trying to figure out what they did lol and its months later. Something extra was in those mimosas to make them so delicious. The only bad thing about my shower was being an hour late which had nothing to do with La Piazza. I think they just have the most perfect set up.Also I forgot to tell people there was valet so most people didn’t use it which sucked for us considering we paid extra for it. Oh well. I picked everything from the games, to the favors, to the kisses on the table.

Day of Jewelry/headpiece Thomas Knoell A++++++++++++++++++++
They had a sale one day so I figured I’d go check it out and fell madly in love with a headpiece there I had to have. I got my headpiece before I even got my dress! Lol. Months later when going jewelry shopping I figured we’d end up back here and I was right. I custom designed my own bracelet, well Thomas basically did but I did say more bling! Lol. And I tried on all the earrings until I found the perfect ones for me ? my jewelry came in the day before we left for Mexico so I was dying to go see it the second we got back. I loved my jewelry soooooooooooo much.

Tiffany’s A++++++++++++++++++
As a wedding gift my parents gave me a Tiffany’s necklace to be my something blue. I originally wasn’t going to wear a necklace and was happy I did. I love Tiffany’s.

Veil
Christie Lauren A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I absolutely love her stuff. Who knows if I hadn’t gotten my headpiece I would have fallen in love with one here but I knew I'd get a veil from her since I already got my headpiece :) and she’s so gorgeous! The store is so cute & pink. I loved my veil though I barely wore it. I highly recommend her for beautiful wedding bling :)

Shoes I had quite a few so I’ll rate them all lol.

Saks fifth avenue A+++++++++++++++
Saks in Huntington=best store! My mom surprised me and offered me these shoes and ordered online, reading reviews I thought to order a size up which was not a good idea they were too big! So I went to exchange them at the Saks in Huntington. They didn’t have them so the guy had to purchase them from website for me at the store. Everyone in there was so nice and they were all so excited to see them in purple :) I felt special everyone literally came over to see them. They got to my house 2 days later! Talk about fast shipping. I got the purple Manolo Blahnik Hangisi satin pump. I barely wore them though but I will be wearing them in the future.

Nordstrom A++++++++++++
My mom also got me the wedding uggs so I could put them on and dance the night away. I love uggs! I love Nordstrom. I actually wore these most of the day instead of my other shoes.

Lord & Taylors A++++++++++++++++
I got blue sparkly Betsey Johnson heels from here for our rehearsal dinner. So many of my cousins were taking pictures of my shoes lol. These got more attention than my actual wedding shoes. I actually wanted to wear these on my wedding day because they were a higher heel and I could be higher next to my husband as we did the ceremony. I totally forgot to mention that to anyone so oh well. I think my mom would have killed me though if I didn’t even wear my purple shoes which were a lot more $$$$.

Corset Bra under my dress. Georgettes A+++++++++++++++++
If you need a corset bra or even just a bra go here. I was in and out in the perfect size. I loved my corset. I was beyond happy.

David’s Bridal A++++++++++++
My bridal slip I got from here. I never looked anywhere else. I just hate their return policy if you shop online! Why can’t you return stuff to the store? So annoying. When I first got my slip I accidentally didn’t realize it was sent to the billing address which was my mom’s house in Mississippi! So I had to order another one and ship it to me since I needed it in a few days and didn’t have time for her to get it and ship it to me etc. I also got some black bride sweatpants I wore as we did wedding things the week before :) comfy but definitely not as great quality as Victoria secret.

Pastor April A++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OMG just how amazing she is. We just loved her so much. She did the most beautiful ceremony for us. People still are like how did you find her? A few friends were like once I get married I’m going to have you find me her in a few years lol. She speaks so beautifully and she made our ceremony so romantic and elegant. Our ceremony was personal and just so romantic. I loved every part of our ceremony thanks to her. It wasn’t your typical same thing as everyone else it was personal and beyond special. When she mentioned our dogs just everyone loved it :) our chihuahuas are like our children lol. And her little joke about car insurance my cousins still talk about lol.

Screaming Queens A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
My parents paid for our wedding which was not always a fun time these past 2 years lol. My dad argued nonstop about this. Why do we need a table stroller? Just trust me I told him a 10000x. Still it was the biggest thing we argued about in the whole planning experience. I wanted her to come out at the end of the night as a surprise with purple snowflake lollipops dressed as Marie Antoinette. I just knew it’d be perfect and it’d be something no one would ever forget. When she came out just the looks on everyone’s faces. Everyone got pictures with her and she’s literally all over facebook lol. This is definitely not the typical thing you see at weddings which is exactly why I wanted her so bad. The first thing my dad said to me after the wedding was that I was 10000% right in insisting we have her and he was dumb to argue with me lol. I was like wait repeat that? Can we get a recording of that? He thought she was the best thing at our wedding :) and was happy I never let him win that argument lol. He even went up to family and said how much he argued about it and how I kept insisting on it and was so happy he had this smart daughter who never let him win an argument lol.

Florist Distinctive Floral Design A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
From the moment I met Kelly to our last meeting she was just amazing. She totally saw my purple vision and made it perfect. Our centerpieces were perfect and everyone took one home they were so pretty ? so happy. Our flowers were delivered on time and by a cute delivery guy all my girls were like heyyyyyyy lol. :)

Invitations A++++++++++++++
Jessica Leigh Paperie
I always knew I didn’t want just regular invitations out of a book. I wanted purple! But I also wanted elegant and I wanted snowflakes with some bling ? she did exactly that. I loved every single thing she did. So happy with all her work. Everyone raved about our invitations and escort cards just she’s the best. She also did our menus, programs, and table numbers.

DOC A+++++++++++++++++++
Cheeky Details
I knew I wanted a doc from day one. They came in and just did magic. They made the day go so smooth. My bff who got married was like why do you need them? What are they gonna do? Once she saw them go to work her first thing was I should have hired them for my wedding lol. They got everything organized and my mom basically didn’t know what she was doing at all so they saved the day. We also rented awesome table number holders from them to add to my blingy/glamour look. They are the nicest girls, gorgeous, and just lifesavers. Everyone should have a doc on their wedding day. You will not regret it, ever! Plus all the groomsmen still talk about how gorgeous they were lol. And are like you couldn’t get the single docs? :)

Wedding bands
Kay Jeweler no rating yet...
I wanted to go back to good old gold for my band but as we got closer to wedding that just wasn’t going to happen. We needed to get a credit card for something and I wasn’t going to get something cheap when it’d be in our wedding photos! So I got a Kay card and we went to look at bands. I found a gorgeous Leo diamond band I absolutely loved. They said they’d order it in my size but we’d have to buy it right then so we could get the discount on it. I’d then bring band in and they’d exchange it blah blah etc. so as the weeks went by they never called. We went in to be like okay where is the band? They got it but then shipped it back to the warehouse? It made no sense. So then the other band we had they said they’d resize it I mean otherwise I’d have no wedding band on our wedding day. I needed a 4 and the ring they had was like a 6? It was huge on my finger. It’d look ridiculous in pictures. So yeah that was stress we didn’t need. They still haven’t called saying if they have my ring or not. I will come back to do my rating after I see what happens next. I mean why order me a ring but not deliver it to me? They just seem so unorganized and if we weren’t so desperate and close to our wedding I would have returned the ring and gone somewhere else just because that’s how annoyed I was. I love my band though. I’m hoping they just give me my real actual ring and it’s done with. It’s like once you pay they don’t care. Though when I forgot to pay the bill 5 days late since it was due literally like 2 days before my wedding & I had stuff going on, they called on a daily basis so I guess the billing department works :) hopefully Wednesday when we get to the mall unless we get there sooner it's good news.

Tuxedos
Men’s Warehouse
A++++++++++++++++++++++++++
They were awesome. I think a few jackets didn’t fit or shirts but it was easily worked out within a day. They have such a good organized system going on there. I had heard a lot of horror stories but I went with them anyway since they match David’s bridal. I don’t regret it at all.

Photobooth
