Flowers: Sally, Exqusite Blooms. Easy to work with, gets my vision, price is right!

Invitations: Melanie, Fresh Invitation Studio. Just received our sample in the mail yesterday and OMG, it's perfect. Exactly what we were wanting and she designed it perfectly.

Bridal Gown: Destiny's Bridal. They have been so sweet and easy to work with. I can't wait til my dress comes in.

DJ: Bill - cool guy, fine with our requests to not have blaring music at the reception. Has a lot of variety and gives us the ability to customize as much as we want.

Makeup: My aunt Paulette. She does amazing airbrush make-up and the trial was fantastic. I love that she will be doing it for me.

Cake: My aunt Katherine. She is a professional cake decorator and has shown me some samples of things she can do. I can't wait. She will also make us the favors as well.

I think that's it for now.
