AMYTEE'S ROMANTIC FALL WEDDING REVIEW : Swan Club, All Occasion DJs, Strathmore Limos, Mockawetch Florist, Glen Cove Mansion and MUCH MORE! (MORE ADDED PG 2)
Original post by amytee
Review TIME!
WEATHER : A+ October 13th was an absolutely gorgous day about 65, sunny and just a slight breeze. PERFECT!
SWAN CLUB : A +++ The swan club completely exceeded our expectations by a million! We looked at a lot of places before deciding on the Swan Club. It's immaculate. Our maitor d' (sp) was Paul and we just love him. He was the 1st person we had met with there and when we booked had requested him to be our M D' because he was so friendly and attentive. They kept everything running perfect him and Maureen (our bridal attendant) were unstopable! I wasn't even done with my drink and they would be there with another for me. They served us dinner with white gloves and even offered us a sampler to share of all of the choices off our menu. So future Swanies have nothing to worry about, you are in great hands! The gardens were immaculate!

INVITATIONS ~ A+ There are rare occasions where you can say that you received more that what you paid for, but in this case we did. The invitations were made by Carlson Craft and ordered at Party City. We had the envelopes printed in Brown Ink (which cost extra) but opted out of having the response ones in brown as well, but when they came in everything was printed in Brown...SCORE!
FAVOR TAGS ~ B Ordered through Ebay Seller - Favors For You. They came out really nice and were exactly what we ordered. The only reason I give it a B was because the Diamond shaped one lay funny when tied around the favors (especially our wine favors which we gave to the adults).
ROSE PETALS ~ A+++ I ordered freeze dried burgundy petals from the Petal Garden. They were awesome! When you get them they seem a little dry, but just place them in a basket in the bathroom while everyone takes showers in the morning. They came out perfect! A huge money saver for us!

CAKE LEAVES DECORATIONS ~ A Order from Wendy Cromer Confections (www.wendycromer.com) I saw these in an article in Martha Stewart Weddings. They were a really nice touch, since our reception package came with a very basic white wedding cake. They are made of gum paste.
DIY!!!!!!!!!!!
CARD BOX ~ I made this out of 3 different sized gift boxes. I wrapped it with ivory satin and then decorated it with leaves and flowers that I bought at a thrift store. I think it came out really nice, it held up great and did the job.
PROGRAMS~ Simple! (yeah right) Made with ivory card stock (outter sheet) and paper. Tied with wine colored ribbon.

MENUS~ Also made with ivory card stock. I used the same computer program (bought at staples) for these and the programs.
FLOWER GIRL BASKETS ~ I really wanted natural wicker type baskets, so I decided to just by brown ones and decorate them with ribbon.
HONEYMOON
Dreams Resort & Spa ~ Puerto Vallarta
Absolutely beautiful! It was the perfect honeymoon for us. It was all inclusive. We were greeted at the check-in desk with cold towels and champange! The food was increadible. Great entertainment. Puerto Vallarata is a gorgous place. I couldn't ask for more!

OMG I forgot to review LIW's! LIW~ A+ I really got a lot of of the boards. Lots of ideas and support from all the girls. Even if i was just silently reading what eveyone has to say....it was all helpful. I have been recommending it to my New Bride-to-Be friends constantly! Thank you LIW's and all the Newlyweds and Brides-to-Be!

Thanks so much for sharing...I am getting married at the Swan Club too and there have not been too many recent reviews...so yours was great to see...especially that you had all great things to share! Also, we booked with Glenmar Studios as well...and although all of our dealings with them have been great, it was still wonderful to hear you say you were so pleased with them and their work...again thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you sweetie! We just finished putting together our album with Glenmar as well and I have to say that everything went so smoothly. The only thing that I wish is that we had contracted for more pictures in our main album!!!! We had so many great proofs it was so difficult to choose. We also didn't have a lot of extra money to add to the album. I didn't realize when booking the photographer that 30 pictures wasn't really a lot of a main album. So one word of advice with Glenmar or any photographer for that matter would be to contract/negotiate for extra main album pictures...I would say at least fifty!
Good Luck and thanks for your sweet comments!
