my mini review
so let me start by saying... my day was far from perfect... but DH and I are the only ones that know... to our guests it seemed like a fairytale... I just kinda wish our wedding was OUR fairytale.
there was a lot of little things that shouldn't have happened... and a lot of things that upset me that others find comical, and a few things that i find comical now that i didn't on that day.
with that being said.. i know that everything happens for a reason, and there's really nothing that can be done.. there's no magical time machine that will take me back to my wedding day.
but i do want to share my ups and downs... because i hope that it will help other brides.
i'm not doing a full review just yet... just a few things that are on my mind... but feel free to ask any questions, i'll answer them honestly.
verdi's.
first off, a good note.. the food was AMAZING.. absolutely 100% AMAZING, there were NO complaints at all... from guests.
oh and the VH- was OFF THE HOOK... it was BEYOND PERFECT!
my complaint...
the toilet in my bridal suite overflowed.. with me on it... when i went to get help, my Bridal attendants assistant LAUGHED at me.. while i was running partly naked out of my suite.
my cake... was NOT what i wanted...
oh and THEY LET ANOTHER BRIDE INTO MY RECEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, yup, flat out LET her in.. held the door open for her and her friends and let them in to my wedding!!!!
I happened to be standing by the door when they came in and I took care of it.. but there's no reason I should be standing in my dress SCREAMING at this tacky bride, her gross friends and the employees at verdis.
not many people noticed... but a handful did and its embarrassing and upsetting.
um.. my dress.. i LOVED, but the pick ups dropped and it ended up being like 1-2 inches too long, rather then 1 inch too short, causing me to trip TWICE at the church- walking down the aisle...
oh and during DH and I's entrance and our first dance... but I laugh at that... I literally stopped my father partway down the aisle, bent forward and lifted my dress... and nobody remembers![]()
oh and my bustle was ripped out TWICE... once by a guest then the second time by my Banquet Manager.
formal knight tux
price was GREAT
colors were GREAT
fact that the sole of my nephews shoe peeled off 30 min before walking down the aisle.. then the other one while walking around chelsea mansion- NOT GREAT
oh and DH's button popping off during the ceremony... comical.
my flowers were PERFECT.. Joy did an amazing job! and the CPs were better than I asked for![]()
we're not going to discuss my photographer because I have a feeling that this might get pulled... BUT let me just say.. as of right now, I will not recommend my photographer to anyone, until I see my pictures.. I pray to god they impress me... because while my photographer was a sweetheart, she did not listen to anything we said. and I cry every night over that!
my makeup was okay I would have liked a little bit more of a dramatic look, but its fine, i still looked good.. i LOVED my mother and MOHs...
my hair was PERFECT![]()
Red Carpet Limo- A++++++++++++++++++++++++
I will HIGHLY RECOMMEND them to ANYONE!
their prices are great the bus was clean, our driver was GREAT...
um.. everything else, I can discuss in my actual review, unless anyone has questions.
I'll try and find time to upload some more non-pro pics.
