2007 TWOTY Review! Chateau La Mer -Angelica Glass- LI Sound - Thomas Knoell - Rosalie - Audrey's Bakery - CJB Designs and many more!

The day that I entered myself into TWOTY contest, I never thought in a million years that we would be chosen. When I watched the video of Kim picking the Bridal Party on LIWeddings TV, I was totally ecstatic and floored that I was chosen with my husband to represent LIW as the Bride and Groom for TWOTY 2007. My dream had come true!

As most of you know by reading my review, I encountered many problems on my wedding day which cased me a great deal of stress. These issues left us with poor memories of a day that we worked so hard to make perfect. The experience of re-living our wedding day with no stress and no planning was absolutely priceless and a day we will never forget. We thank LI Weddings and all of the many vendors who donated their services. Thank you for making me feel like a queen, for putting a genuine smile on my face and most importantly, for letting us renew our wedding vows with the happiest memories surrounded by my best cyber friends! LOL


On to the review!

Chateau La Mer – Ceremony and Reception Location

Before TWOTY, I had never stepped foot inside of CLM, but I was more than impressed once I arrived. The view was the first thing that took my breath away. The water was such a beautiful thing to look out on as the night progressed, and it only looked better as the sun went down behind the blue water.

Rooms:
We got dressed in the upstairs room, which was the place Angelica took most of her pictures. From the beautiful sconces hanging on the walls, to the tremendous fireplace and mirrors, it all added to the elegance of the hall and were the perfect backdrop for many pictures.
Downstairs the ceremony room, which was recently re-done, was simply gorgeous and you can tell the attention to details that CLM put into this room, which was perfect for the ceremony.
The reception room was large and spacious with tall windows to allow the view to be the main attraction. The chairs are classy (no chair covers needed, ladies) and the two humongous arm chairs provided for the Bride and Groom made us feel like a king and Queen.

Staff: Nick was on top of everything. He really knows his hall and has full and total control of everything going on. Not only is he an excellent BM but he is also a very nice person and looks like a great guy to work with and trust. My attendant, Monica, was awesome- she was constantly pouring drinks, offering us more food and fixing anything that needed to be fixed. She really went out of her way to help us out and I know that she worked very hard. The waiters and waitresses were all very professional and they handled themselves very maturely.

Food/Drinks:
The cocktail hour almost was over by the time we got inside but since I had about 5 lamb chops, I can tell you first hand they were the best lamb chops I ever had. My husband enjoyed the pasta station and my friends were all raving about the delicious chafing dishes and carving station.
The reception food was out of this world!! I was soo pleasantly surprised! The delicious mozzarella and tomato was both aesthetically appealing and tasty! The Mesculin and Cesar salads were delicious and I can’t rave enough about the amazing veal chop! What a nice piece of meat and beautiful presentation! I could not get over how delicious it was! My husband had the Chicken Cordon Blue and he ate the entire thing in a matter of seconds and quickly commented how delicious it was. My friend could not believe the nice piece of Sea bass they had and also how the waiters were asking them for seconds! Unheard of in most catering halls!

The biggest surprise of all was the fantastic Viennese hour. No joke, I have been to many, many, weddings. I have never seen such a huge selection of amazing foods for dessert. From the Cotton candy machine, to the banana flambé to the ice cream bar to the candy apples and personal bags of sour straws to the black and white cookies, the dot candy on the papers to the delicious fruits and the THREE chocolate fountains- I was completely blown away at the selection and quality. With the CLM you can not go wrong!

They even helped us to create a one of a kind LIW Drink!









Heart and Soul – Band

Heart and Soul is an amazing band. The singers sounded exactly like the artists they were impersonating and they totally nailed many hard songs like Sexy back by Justin Timberlake for example. They really had the crowd on the floor all night and they all sing excellent. Half the time I did not know if I was listening to the DJ or the band- they were that good.


Long Island Sound – DJ

LI Sound was an AWESOME DJ! From the second they introduced us, I knew they were going to be great. I had no control over the songs they were playing and you know what? I didn’t need it! They did a great job and they also gauged the crowd well so they played the right songs at the right time. They all looked great and their attire was classy. If I have a party I will have no problem calling them to DJ it. The floor was packed all night and the music was perfect and appropriate for the crowd. They definitely mixed it up from oldies to salsa to 80s. A great mix!

Michael Jackson/Usher Impersonator-

I am not sure if he came with the DJ or band but I will tell you this- this man, named Michael, was AMAZING! He totally got the crowd pumping and jumping and really got the party re-started after the dinner lull. I wish I knew about him for my wedding because he really pulls off an excellent show!!! If you are in doubt about adding that additional touch to your wedding, call upon him and he will add the pizaz your party needs!!!

Angelica Glass – Photographer

WOW, what can I say about Angelica that has not already been said. This girl knows her stuff!!! She has this ridiculous natural talent that can not be matched by anyone. She knows the right light at the exact moment, she knows what looks good and what looks AMAZING and she is patient and careful to catch every single perfect second. Best of all she tells you what to do, how large to open your eyes, how soft to place your fingers and how much or little to smile. THERE IS NO GUESSWORK WITH ANGELICA. The problems encountered with many photographers iare that they do not tell you what to do and leave you guessing or feeling awkward in poses. Angelica will tell you what do to ensure PERFECT pictures and this really is what makes her fabulous. The pictures are the BEST I have ever seen…each one is better than the next. You will not go wrong with this photographer. Don’t even bother interviewing others, or even her. Just call, book her, and never look back!!! And to top is off, she is a very sweet and kind person, which it makes it EVEN EASIER to work with her. So add me to the list of her groupees!

A TASTE OF SOME OF MY FAVORITES







In Sync Video Productions – Videographer
In Sync was awesome. They are not your typical video company. They are unobtrusive yet there, catching the right moments. They stay out of the way, but will also do what they need to ensure they are getting great footage. Every important second of the day, if I looked over my shoulder they were there. But at the same time, I hardly noticed them. That is what you want out of a video company. I have no doubt the video will be spectacular!

Expressions Wedding and Event Design – DOC

Boy was I a lucky girl with Rosalie!!! I have never seen someone work so hard to make me happy! She is the nicest and friendliest person I have ever met and she worked sooo hard throughout the day. During pictures she was priceless!!! She made sure in every photo that my veil, hair and makeup were perfect. She made sure I was eating and drinking throughout the day. She made many runs up and down stairs to fetch me things from the bridal suite. She constantly asked us if we needed anything through out the night, despite the fact that we have an attendant that did this as well. She even made sure that our tickets were entered into the drawings!
After meeting her and seeing how hard she worked, it made me sad that I did not hire her on my actual wedding day. Knowing how helpful she would have been to me would have saved me a lot of stress. Unfortunately my day has passed, but if you read my review and are reading this- you will see that my advice to all future brides was to hire a DOC. They will take care of everything needed on the wedding day- from paying vendors to applying your lipstick. They are really a very useful tool and WORTH whatever they charge. Please don’t make the mistake I did. Hire a DOC- specifically Rosalie! She was amazing!!!




Bridal Elegance – Bride and Bridal Party Dresses

AND LINK TO MY DRESS STYLE #

here is a link to the dress- style #1010

http://www.angelinafaccenda.com/DressDetail.aspx?C=C1&D=1010&P=0


Phyllis is an ultimate doll and she was so great to work with! She opened her store after hours to accommodate us and she worked very hard, with the patience of a saint, to ensure we were all happy with our selections.
For the bride, she gave me full reign of the store. I tried on many gorgeous dresses, most of which could have been worn at TWOTY. In the end we chose an Angelina Faccenda dress. Phyllis is one on the few vendors on the island to carry this new designer. My dress was all silk organza with crystals and pearls accenting the waist area. Phyllis fitted and bustled me within 5 minutes and had the alterations complete within a few days.
As for the bridesmaids, she worked very hard with sizes colors and styles until she found the perfect dress for each girl. She spent many hours on the computer trying to get the dresses quickly delivered and came through with flying colors.
Her location on Jericho Turnpike in Dix hills is super convenient to the Northern State parkway and the LIE. Also I wanted to mention that her prices were unbeatable. My Moms Mother of the bride dress was HALF of what she paid!! And my Angelina Faccenda gown was LESS THAN $900! She has a tremendous selection of reasonably priced dresses and a HUGE selection of bridesmaids gowns. For price, selection, service and location, Phyllis is the way to go!!







CJB Designs – Custom Jewelry for the Bride and Bridal Party

Courtney emailed me to help me design my jewelry and boy did she come through with flying for me and for the entire bridal party! She totally nailed our jewelry images, and then some!!I have never seen such gorgeous pieces!!! She designed the perfect earrings and bracelet to accent my dress! And she made such exquisite pieces for the bridesmaids!! She used anything from pearls, Swarovski crystals and rhinestones to create necklaces and earrings to match each girl’s dress, looks and personality. I loved everything she made and for the spectacularly great prices she charges I plan on ordering a TON of stuff from her when the time comes! You definitely can not go wrong with CJB!! Sweet girl and even sweeter jewelry!!!






Thomas Knoell Designs – Headpiece, earrings and bracelet

When I was told that I would be wearing a headpiece of some sort, I was a little hesitant because as you may know, I am not a big headpiece girl. Boy did Thomas Knoell change that opinion!!!

Thomas Knoell really knows brides. From the second he looked at my gown at his gorgeous store in Manhasset, he knew exactly what headpiece would be perfect. Sure enough, it was. He hand makes each and every piece and they are all one of a kind. They sparkle as if they are made of diamonds. They are lightweight and sturdy yet stunning. I could have spent all day playing around with his different pieces. He and Raquel were so friendly and made me feel like a princess.

In addition, he lent me a gorgeous crystal bracelet and matching earrings. Since I had some gorgeous earrings and bracelet from CJB, I only wore his earrings for a few pictures. The earrings and bracelet he lent me accented the headpiece beautifully and really contributed to the look. As Thomas told me, when a bride wears one of his pieces, it really adds that extra something to the look. People will comment how gorgeous you look, but they wont know exactly what it is, but we both know his headpiece really completes it. As I say, you can have a $10 bridal gown on, but if you add one of his headpieces to your attire, you will look like a million bucks!








Serenity Limousine Service – Limo for Bride and Groom to and from CLM

When the stretch Hummer pulled up to the house, Mike and I got so excited! What an awesome car! The interior was extremely clean and brand new and so fun!!! And to top it off, the owner of Serenity, Eddie, was my driver! Eddie is a great guy and has been in the limo /wedding business for 19 years. His oldest car is a 2005 so it was clear to me his fleet is extremely updated and he is always keeping up with the new technology. With Eddie, you will never have to choose from out dated vehicles.

On the way home Mike and I rode in the Chrysler 300. What a cool looking car! It’s a great one to add to your entourage of cars because it’s different, yet fun and elegant. We really had a great time riding in these vehicles and dealing with Eddie made the experience even more memorable.
In addition he really knows the proper wedding etiquette and also his personality brightened my day. He’s honest, sweet, kind and helpful. That is all you want on your wedding day!!

I would definitely book him again!! Great company and great people!!




Audrey’s Fine Baked Goods and Sweet Karma Desserts – Cakes

Audrey’s made the gorgeous, stunning and perfect main cake. I do not know what Kim told them over there, but they definitely took it to the highest level possible. I LOVED the cake. It was out of this word and also when we tasted it, it was delicious!!!!!! The fondant was perfectly smooth and all of the filigrees and flowers were in perfect shape and form. I have never seen a more classy and elegant BLUE cake. STUNNING CAKE!!!

Sweet Karma made a second cake and also the groom’s cake. They were both decorated ADORABLY and covered in yummy but very smooth butter cream. Both cakes were my husband’s favorite for flavor. They looked beautiful and tasted delicious. The adorable tuxedo cake made me wish I had a groom’s cake. Sweet Karma seems to me like the Groom’s cake headquarters!

Audrey's Bakery:



Sweet Karma Bakery



Flower Michele – Florist
LA Blossom – Florist
With All My Heart – Florist

Anyone who was at the WOTY this time or any of the past times will know that the centerpieces shown there are the best of the best. I have never seen more stunning and creative designs in my life!!!! I was blown away by some of the tablescapes that were created! From the humongous white tri level piece to the forest-y one with flowers all over it to the tropical display…down to the traditional but spectacular roses and the red orange and green display- I was in AWE after I walked into the room set up. Totally unbelievable and I think any of these listed florists have the distinct ability to create the centerpiece of your dreams!!!! Absolutely fabulous!!















Florisan LLC – Bouquets

Lynn was such a pleasure to work with. Since Lynn was creating the boquets she contacted me to involve me in the process which I thought was really nice. With our colors being brown and blue, as you can imagine flowers in that color scheme are hard to come by. Lynn scoured floral wholesalers to find the perfect combo and worked so hard to make sure everything matched. As you can see from the pictures she was super imaginative and creative and used all of her resources to create something excellent. Lynn will make your ideas a reality!





Your Cover – Favors (Magazine Covers)

YourCover Personalized Magazine Covers is such a great idea for a favor and I had an awesome time working with Michele who is the sweetest ever! The way it works is that a bride uploads a photo into their online design system and then using that, the system creates a magazine cover that is all about the wedding, the couple’s relationship, and their family and friends. The magazine cover is printed on heavy glossy paper. The front cover looks like a real magazine cover but the photo and all the headlines are about you. The back of the cover is also completely personalized with areas for an Editor's Note, Top 10 list, more photos and a masthead (where you could list your family or bridal party).

It came out adorable and I really loved the editing that Michele did. She really helped to make it perfect and correct any mistakes that I made. Definitely a cute idea for a favor!!







Nicole D’Angio – Hair (Melissa, Jen) –

The second I met Nicole I knew my hair would be awesome. First of all she looked adorable and she’s such a fun and beautiful person. Even when she was playing with my hair it looked really good so I knew right away I would be happy. She showed me a couple pictures from a nice bridal magazine that inspired her hairstyles. Sometimes hair people will show you a picture, then they will do something completely different. With Nicole, she showed Jen and I a hair style and created it EXACTLY! I loved my hair, I felt beautiful, and it really evened out my full gown and long face, which is exactly what I had wanted. To top it off, Nicole is just an awesome and funny person. We had a great time joking and laughing while she was doing my hair- I felt like I was speaking to my best friend, not a stranger. She’s a really nice person, with super excellent talent and she has an eye for matching you and your style with a ridiculous hair do so all you need to do is call her up, close your eyes and you will be guaranteed a gorgeous hairstyle that will compliment your dress and features!! Love ya Nicole!!!!







Bella *** – Hair (Darlene, Keri, Christina) and Khouloud’s Beauty – Hair and Makeup (Sabrina, Sasha, Maria, Liz (hair only)

Speaking from seeing how gorgeous my bridesmaids looked, I can only say awesome things about Khouloud’s Beauty and Bella ***. All of my girls looked so beautiful and I knew they were all happy with the way they looked, so I would recommend Bella *** or Khouloud’s in all aspects!! Great job, sweetheart people to work with and really nice and creative hairstyles! As a side note, Liz was worried about her curly hair not looking perfect. When I saw Liz’s French twist done to perfection, it looked like Liz had pin straight hair all along! Her hair looked gorgeous, neat and flattered her facial features! I would not hesitate to hire Bella *** or Khouloud’s for any of my future events!! Great job!!!






Angel Eyes – Makeup (Melissa, Jen, Liz)
What can I also say about Denise that has not already been said! Denise- you made me feel beautiful! I love my makeup! After I saw Jen’s makeup looking amazing I knew right away mine would be great too! I love my airbrush foundation- it matched my skin tone 10000% !! I was shocked because I have poor skin and acne and the whole day I felt like my skin was flawless! My eyes- they looked gorgeous! Every time I looked in the mirror I could not believe it was my face looking back. I truly felt beautiful and I will vouch for Jen and Liz in saying that you do an amazing job and you are extremely talented! We were all supermodels because of you!!! I can’t wait to call you for my next event!!





Makeup by Lisa – Makeup (Darlene, Keri, Christina)

List did the makeup for Darlene, Keri and Christina who looked all looked absolutely stunning! She really knew how to enhance their natural beauty and make them look like super stars! To top it off Lisa is just the cutest and best dressed chica that I have met! She’s such a doll with such a sweet personality, I know that she will be such a great addition to any wedding day beauty team! I would not hesitate to book her for an event- she will make you look beautiful effortlessly and will keep you laughing along the way!!!



Pippy’s Sweets – Favors (White Box with Blue/Brown Ribbon – hot cocoa/chocolate spoons)

Pippy’s did such a great job with the favors! I loved the way they wrapped those adorable white boxes with the tiffany blue or brown ribbon and nice tissue paper! Really brought the favors to a whole other level! In addition the hot chocolate and the chocolate spoons were such a great idea! Coupled with the wrapping they really made such an elegant favor! Pippy’s is class all the way!!



Ginny’s Fragrant Favors – Favors (Coffee/Tea/Travel Mug)

Ginny’s did such a beautiful job with the favors! I just loved the coffee- I actually drank the “Falling In love Blend” the day after TWOTY and it was a great coffee! They wrapped it so beautifully as well in those adorable gift bags! They really matched the theme so well and I was so impressed at how cute they looked! Ginny’s could make any favor look good! Her beautiful and creative wrapping really enhance the favor. The entire package is just fabulous!!!

Amelia Rose Chocolates – Favors (4 chocolate in a box)
Amelia sent us the most adorable and beautifully packed chocolates I have ever seen! I don’t know where she got them from but they tasted like Godivas! They were aesthetically pleasing and pleasing to the palette because they tasted great! They didn’t even need heavy wrapping, just a simple gold bow, because they were so cute looking! A great alternative to buying your own chocolates. Let Amelisa Rose do all of the work!! They do a great job!!


Yellow Cottage Crafts – Favors (hand painted votives)

I loved the votives! They added such a nice touch! They were wrapped beautifully and the votives looked so pretty when lit! Definitely a great favor idea and enhance the mood of the wedding at the same time!! If you're looking for a most unique and memorable favor, look no further. They carry an assortment of hand-painted items such as wine glasses, cake plates and gift baskets. Whether you're looking for a special gift for your bridesmaids or the perfect pair of champagne flutes for your newly engaged friends, they can design something unique.



Findafavor.com – Favors (cake server)
The cake servers were adorable! I simply loved them! They were wrapped with a beautiful white bow and a nice sticker to show off the bride, groom and the wedding day. Definitely a great place to get favors- the packaging is adorable and thet have tons of favor ideas to match the theme of your event!!


Vintage String Quartet – Music for the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour
Anyone that attended the ceremony can vouch for me in saying that the music was magical! Once again I regret having this quartet at my wedding because they completely added to the elegance of the affair. They sounded so heavenly as I walked down the aisle and again during the cocktail hour. To add some class to your event, book this quartet! I wish I had!!!!!

Poeticpetals – Invitations

Any person that registered for TWOTY will agree that the invitations were adorable!!! They were nicer than most wedding invitations! They did such a beautiful job incorporating the blue and brown into a classy invitation and boy did they go above and beyond! I loved the invitations, fonts and envelopes. Great job!!



Andrew Hatch Calligraphy – Hand Calligraphy
The calligraphy by Andrew Hatch was simply gorgeous! He has been a calligrapher for several years and his creative talents range beyond the flow of his pen. His keen sense of ethics keeps him aware of all of the components of your project and he leads his distinctive style, etiquette and romance individually to each occasion.

vZinger – Interactive Place cards
v zinger was an awesome enhancement to TWOTY! What they do is they turn your place cards and gift favors into keepsakes. They create a personalized 'one of a kind' interactive CD presentation that delivers an eye catching remembrance your wedding guests will talk about for years.
Creating my presentation was quick and easy. All I did was emailed my text and photos and they did the rest. You can include videos, music, voiceovers and more. Choose from over 50 styles and an endless number of colors. Create an instant 'Thank You.'

Like studio CDs, labels are printed directly onto the disc and personalized with each guest's name, table assignment and more. They copied my presentation to traditional CDs or mini CDs the size and shape of a standard place card. They also offer mini discs in the shape of hearts, flowers, wedding bells and more. I loved the presentation they created for me, and their in-house writes helped type in the perfect words for my guests to see. For the minimal price they charge, its definitely worth it to create a keepsake that you and your guests can cherish for a lifetime!!





Luminous Designs, Inc. – Lighting (Up lighting, Intelligent Lighting, GOBO)
Luminous Designs provides temporary Special Event Lighting and tent lighting for all types of special events including weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs and corporate events. Event lighting can be a wonderful addition to your affair and is often a necessary tool to bring out the beauty of your florist’s decorations. They offer creative lighting ideas to enhance your affair and create the perfect atmosphere. Luminous Designs also provides Audio Visual Services and Electrical Power Distribution services. Their reputation is derived from their dedication to the affair, their attention to fine detail and their desire to always provide more than promised. As it was clear to see from either attending TWOTY or from the pictures, the lighting really created the type of atmosphere we were looking for!!!





Church of Ancient Ways – Officiant

April was such a wonderful officiant! I have only dealt with the Roman Catholic Church and it was wonderful to renew my vows with someone who was less traditional but still knowledgeable about incorporating different religious themes into the ceremony. I spoke with April many times over phone and email and each time she was so creative and open to all the different ideas we both had and she has such an eloquent way with words that she was able to really put everything into a clear and concise piece. I was very impressed with her and I recommend her to everyone of all religions and beliefs!!!!




Ceremonies of the Heart - Rev. Deb – Co – Officiant

Deb was the co-officiant for the ceremony and as usual Deb did an awesome jpb. Deb acted to explain the different aspects of the ceremony and clarified why we stood the way we stood, what the purpose of certain things were like the sand ceremony and the breaking of the glass and served to assist April in all of the readings and comments. I know first hand that Deb does am awesome job because she performed the ceremony for my cousin’s wedding less than a year ago. She was able to incorporate both the Jewish and Roman Catholic ceremony into one and my very religiously conservative family accepted their ceremony with many compliments. Deb is a wonderful officiant and do not hesitate to call upon her to perform a ceremony that will be both elegant and unforgettable.



NYC Photo booth – Photo booth

What a great and fun idea at the reception! The photo booth was adorable! Everyone that I spoke to absolutely loved the booth! It took really fun pictures that everyone will have forever! What a great way to add some fun and kitchy-ness to your wedding reception!! I loved this idea!!!! Even Angelica liked it! It was used in many pictures! For that purpose alone its worth it!!




Love My Wedding – Menus, Programs, Aisle Runner, Table Number, parasols

When Kim showed me my menus, programs, aisle runner, table runner and parasols I almost fell to the ground! They were stunning!!!!!!!! I loved how she incorporated te colors of the theme into gorgeous and classy pieces!! I loved the things that Love My wedding gave us for TWOTY and I was sooo impressed with their work!!! They sell hundreds of fabulous favors, designer bridal dolls and invitations from top names in the business, you can guarantee you will be purchasing elegance and quality from them!! GORGEOUS STUFF!!!







Roger’s Tuxedo of Babylon - Tuxedos
I only heard excellent things about the service and friendliness at Roger’s tuxedos of Babylon. By the way the guys looked and the way the tuxes were fitted, I can tell they really take pride in their work. After all, 31 years of experience should ronly render great tuxedos and service!! They also have one of the largest selections on Long Island. They helped us choose beautiful tie/vest combinations that complimented the chocolate/blue theme. Definitely don’t think twice when using Roger’s Tuxedo shop!








Royal Brass – Trumpets

The Royal Brass is an organization of quality musicians recognized as leaders in providing a cross between traditional and Renaissance ceremonial music to help customize your fairy tale wedding. We felt like King and Queen as we were heralded into a historically based musical experience that not only enhanced and controlled, but added value and class to TWOTY.
They will not only give you many pieces to select for your processionals and recessionals, but also provide a complete listening guide for music throughout your wedding. Really a way to make your day special and I, once again, wished I could have booked them for mine!



Ballroom Dance Long Island – Dance Lessons for Bride and Groom

Although we never got the chance to take the lessons due to some unfortunate circumstances in both of our families, I wish we could have because they had plenty of locations, a great reputation and their communications were excellent. I have no doubt that we would have enjoyed ourselves. And I have been told they have very reasonable packages so if you are looking for affordable instruction, look her first!!

Sandy’s Shoes – Shoes for Bride, Purses for Bridal Party

Sandy’s was such a great place to get shoes. When I walked in, a gorgeous pair had been set aside for me by Carolyn. Carolyn said- “I hope that you don’t mind that I asked you to come in, but these shoes fit a little funky.” I figured- I am a perfect size 8, how can they be funky? But sure enough!!!! They were slipping off my heels! So I tried an 8 in another pair, and Carolyn said- those look a little small and too much foot will be showing during the pictures- try an 8 ½. Well, little did I know- the 8 ½ was perfect!! So my conclusion is, Carolyn and the staff at sandy’s shoes in Massapequa really really know their shoes and the FIT of their shoes. They shocked even me. They have a beautiful selection and do an excellent job at dying the shoes. In addition they have a really nice selection of jewelry and purses so it really is almost a one stop shop! Trust me- Sandy;s is a gret place to hit if you want to get high quality, perfectly fit shoes!




A Bride’s Best Friend – Wedding Fans

The fans were an adorable favor they would definitely enhance any wedding- especially on a warm day!!! They created a style the matched perfectly with TWOTY and the blue and brown theme. I thought they did a great and very meticulous job!! Adorable idea for a favor!!!

Thanks for posting! I am so happy to hear great things about Flower Michele! Our experience with them so far has been really wonderful.

I've also used Your Cover before and I did a magazine cover for FH of our puppy. I thought he would hate it but he absolutely loved it! I did everything through their website (www.yourcover.com) so I never got to work with Michelle but maybe I will do it as an added touch for the wedding.
