My Amazing 10/1/10 wedding, Duet, JT, Flower Michele, Oksana and many, many more LIW vendors.
LIW A+++++++
Well, I haven't posted much on these boards but because of all you 2010 ladies I got great ideas and learned who the vendors to use were. Without this board who knows what my wedding would have been like.
Weather-C
I was up all night before the wedding listening to the rain but it stopped by the time I put the dress on.
Rings- A
DH's ring was purchased at the Diamond store at the Crossings Outlet in PA. My ring was from Macy's, we pre-sold my ring during the one day sale in May and got it for half off. Orig. price was $999.
Dress, David's Bridal, Oleg Cassini A++++
I freaking loved my dress from day 1. It was the 27th dress I tried on. DH and I went to Buffalo with friends for a weekend so he and my MOH's husband could go to Toronto to watch a Yankees game. My MOH, her mom and I went to David's Bridal since we had nothing else to do and I fell in love with my dress. It was half off because it was discontinued and I had to have it shipped from Louisiana to NY. My requirements were strapless, lace with a little shine.
Tuxes, Mens Wearhouse, A
No complaints. Everyone ordered and got them on time.
Bridesmaid Dress, Davids Bridal, A
The same day we found my gown we also found the BM's dresses.
Invitations, Designed and produced by my Aunt, A+++++++++
She designed every paper product we used.
DOC, Expressions, Rosalie Kolarik A++++++
Rosalie new every single vendor I used. I'm so happy I was introduced to her. She made sure the day went smooth.
Hair, Beautiful Brides by Lauren, A+++++
Lauren was a pleasure to work with. She did all the girls hair and we all looked amazing.
Make-up, Makeup Artistry Oksana, A++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
By far one the most AMAZING LIW vendors. I asked one day who I should use for day of make-up and almost every one replied Oksana. I had one trial with her and booked her the next day, I didn't need to try any one else. I also booked Oksana for my B-pics.
Photographer, DUET - Nick, A++++++++++++
It took a while to get my photos but they were well worth the wait. Nick was great to work with and he got all the photos I wanted.
RH, Jericho Terrace, A++++++++++++
DH and I attended a wedding at JT before we were engaged and we loved it. Our Maitre'd was Harry and he was great to work with. Because of my DOC and the JT bridal attendants, I was never without a drink in my hand.
Limo, Royalty Limo, A +++++
We booked them on the spot two months before the wedding.
Flowers, Flower Michele, A ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I was lucky enough to book with John and have him design my flowers before he passed away. My only requirements for flowers were that my flowers had to be purple, the BM flowers were to be light pink, my FG's had to be a mini version of my BK and he came up with the rest. For the center pieces I wanted half tall and half short and I wanted purple to be in them. He then suggested adding hot pink and celadon green to make them pop. I loved everything he did. His work was amazing. As a gift to us he threw in the flowers on the dais, a couple small pieces in the bathrooms and the flowers on the cake.
The cake was from the bakery JT uses. I picked out one of their cakes from the book and asked for the swirls to be dark purple. The cake topper was from a wedding accessory website.
DJ, High Voltage, A+++++++++
We danced all night long.
Dance lessons, Long Island Dance, A+++++
Even with all the practice we had DH was so nervous during the whole thing that I had to tell him each and every move.
The entire night was amazing. I wish I could do it all over again.
