I hope I don't forget anything!!
The day was abslutely magical!! We had the most perfect weather which was key since our ceremony was outside in the park in Northport village!!!
Dress: Bridesave.com 10 They were great. I tried on my Maggie Sottero Sarchi at Bridal Reflections in Massapequa. They wanted over $1K and never did tell me it came in petite. Sarina at Bridesave was so helpful - I cannot recommend enough (if you are considering ordering over the net). All in all, other than great cust svc and the dress arriving EARLY, I saved over $300.
Veil: Barron's (TriCounty) 10 Went by suggestion from the board. I wanted a really simple veil. It turned out beautiful and the price was right. Yanna also almost made me cry when I picked it up she was so sweet!
Invitations & Favors: Favorite Things 10 Rebecca was so sweet and wonderful. My invites came super fast and she matched a price on the corkscrew/stopper for my OOT bags.
Wine for OOT bags: Osprey's Dominion 10 Bought several cases and got Birthday club discount even though it was a little outside of the window when we purchased. Can't beat a 36% discount!!!
Rehearsal Dinner: Dave & Buster's 10 We had a great time! Food was really fantastic and service was great.
Chairs/Tent: All Island Tent 10 We had a tent put up in our front yard in case it did rain on our day - we needed shelter for the ceremony. They also provided chairs for the ceremony and were very accommodating about set-up & removal we needed due to the public setting.
Limos: Mayfair Limousine 10 Again, great service. We had a car pick up some important folks at Danford's to bring to the ceremony, as well as two white stretches. Drivers were nice, cars were spotless - no problems at all.
Embroidery: Embroidery Shop (Commack Road) 10 Simone was an absolute doll. Found them thanks to a post by Bethsiar about opinions on the hoodies she got for her BP. I loved them!! So I had Simone make two for me. Tim had her make golf shirts & windbreakers for his bachelor party which also came out really cool. I ended up having jackets made for my FG & Jr BP. And eventually brought her my slip to have Tim's mother's & sister's monograms embroidered (they both passed since our engagement). Simone would not let me pay for this!! It really meant so much. Highly recommend!!
Hair: Denise Venti 10 Denise was my only trial and based solely on the buzz on the boards. She was so sweet at the trial and after pretty much being done, completely re-did the up-do cause I was a little iffy. My hair on my wedding day was so beautiful - I absolutely loved it!! Cannot say enough!!!
Make-up: Jacqueline Nicole 10 Again, she was the only person I trialed with and based on her rep from the boards. I actually did a second trial close to the wedding because I was tanning and really loved the results. JN was also shaping my eyebrows a few times leading up to the big day. My make-up was flawless on my wedding and stayed perfect all day (I think I reapplied lipstick twice and that was it!!!). I did the airbrush and I suppose it made all the difference in the world. And for the record, in normal life, I wear next to NO make-up but did not feel uncomfortable or MADE UP at all. She's such a sweetheart too!
Flowers: Flowers By LIz 10 Tired of all my '10''s yet??
![]()
Flowers were not all that important to me - at least from the perspective that I had not dreamed of this CP or had planned my bouquet all my life, etc. I just had an idea of what I wanted and Liz (again, the only person I met with) was so laid back and easy to work with. I was happy with what we decided on during our first meeting and that was pretty much that. Until she stepped on to my porch that morning - tears came to my eyes (the one & only time that day - pretty weird, huh?). STUNNING is all I can say. I can't wait to have some pictures. Liz may not be very popular on the boards, but do yourself a favor and check her out. Words cannot describe how pleased I was with her work.
Okay, gonna take a break for now & will finish up with some of the bigger stuff later!!
Thanks for listening!! Wendy
