Our Wonderful March 22, 2003 Review

Original post by berlykim22

Well we got back from our amazing and still not long enough Honeymoon (hawaii cruise & disneyland Cali) wednesday night.
and back to work yesterday YUCK.

ok let me start my review.

We had the perfect day
Weather wise you could not ask for a better day, so beautiful sunny and warm, all the rain puddles from the 2 days before dryed all up, thank goodness. It was just amazing.

Rehearsal went great
our priest was just wonderful, Fr. Hoatsman, so personalble.
we of course arrived late to rehearsal, so much was going on this day (Thursday March 20th)
then we had the rehearsal dinner at The Irish Circle in Rockaway Beach, just a short walk (not even a block from church)
all went great, everyone seem to enjoy themselves.
rained but we didnt care as long as it didnt rain on Saturday.

Saturday MARCH 22, 2003
ok here goes
wake up first thing and head over to get our hair and makeup done @EXPLOSION in Howard Beach,
My Hair and makeup came out great, to try to make long story short I found out on Thursday my girl has been sick, so we didnt know if she would be in. Well I had 2 Hair Trials with her and she didnt bother to call me so I was alittle ****ed But not crazy at all Vincenza the receptionist was Great!
ALL in all my hair came out great, and since I spoke with them on Friday and explained I paid for 2 hair trails and didnt think it was right to pay for my hair with a whole new person, after chatting a bit I was told it would be NO CHARGE
( also the guy that did my hair also had to end up re-doing my sister, the girl that did it first did some crazy rat nest thing, didnt look like pic she gave at all.) he was really good!
A

Make up was done by Joanne at Explosion also and she is great, didnt over do it, I am not a makeup person at all, also gave me some supllies for free, she is a doll A++++

VIP photography A
arrived on time, so that was Great,
extra bonus - we were supposed to have 2 photographers but ended up with 3, so I am hoping this means even MORE PHOTOS
They are very Laid back which is great,
just at some points I wished they would have spoke up a bit to get people together, instead of letting me call for everyone.
But all in all Enjoyed working with them, havent seen final product of course, going to call them soon
so I would give them a
A for the days work
and wait to see the FINAL PRODUCT

thanks everyone

Clueless, My dress is a Mori Lee
I love it, It took me a while to choose btw 3 diff styles dresses, but so happy I choose this one, very different style what we mostly see these days, never thought I would get sleeves, but loved these 3/4 length sleeves.

A florid affair did my bouquet, I cant remember name of roses but loved the color.

I will continue my review on monday
and thanks again


hopefully I will have more pics too

Congratulations! You look beautiful! If I may ask, what color was your veil? It looks white (blueish tint) or was the color diamond white? Also, was it elbow length? Gorgeous and congrats again!

Still trying to finish review,
sorry taking so long, but short work week and have lots to do (get off Thrus & Friday)


MY Wedding Dress
Morilee
salon - Kellys Kreation B

I am not sure what rating to give this salon
the price was great and all seemed good in the beginning.

It went alittle sour later, when I was waiting each week for my dress to come in.
Finally it came it and it ended up being 2 sizes too Big, for 2 reasons, 1 I lost some weight but not 2 sizes and Kelly decided to order me up a size.

But they resolved this problem and got me the smaller size in a week ( I knew they would because if not they were going to Have alot of work ahead of them)

At my supposively last fitting I brought my aunt and mother in law, well my dress was not there and this was a week and half before the big day, it seems the seamstress sister was in the hospital. Well you girls all know you TIME IS REALLY PRECIOUS at this point in time, so I was annoyed, they could of at least called. lots of yelling and stuff
decided to come back 2 days
all was good, just needed to decide on which size crinoline.

I LOVE my dress and seamstress did a great job, and a great job on bussel.
BUT 2 problems, my bra that I tryed the dress on with kept popping out, didnt seem to pop out of dress until last fitting and she said i didnt have it on right. But I dont know if this just the bra and from beginning I should have gotten a different one. But I would have if I realized this but wasnt popping out at fitting.

FINE,
my biggest problem ENDED up being
half way thru my reception the bra/corset had to go, I was dancing so much it just was popping up out of control, ok
then somehow the hook on top was not working or gone. I guess with bra dress was more fitted but later on in night while doing a Irish line dance, my dress zipper decided to unzip.
so I became the wedding bride stripper. It probabaly sounds worse then it was. But I Now am ****ed, but there is nothing I can do.
so I dont know what to grade them.

Price was great, service was good.
I guess in the long run, they didnt do much to dress since the new size fit perfect and all they had to do was HEM & BUSSEL

sept20yay!
sorry I didnt see you question till now
My veil was white, not sure exactly what color it was called, it was my sisters veil she got it last sept.
and the length, I will have to ask her what they called it but it was a bit past my elbows I think but not by much, So I would think it was Elbow length, when I talk to her I will double check
