MY OCTOBER 24TH WEDDING AT THE CARLTUN (updated 11/15/05)

My review is finally here. Sorry it took so long, but I wanted to make sure that I included all my vendors and give them each a detailed review. Plus I wanted to scan in my pictures so everyone can see how beautiful my day was. I want to thank all my LIW girls for all the advice I got and all the ideas I stole. I don’t know how anyone can plan a wedding without LIW. Ok, where do I begin? DH and I could not have asked for a better day. It was the most wonderful and exciting day of our lives. The weather was perfect and I couldn’t wait to become Mrs. N. My advice to future brides is to enjoy the day because it goes by so quickly.
I want to first let you know who was in my BP because I reference them a lot in my review. My MOH is Yianna, who just got married in September at Flowerfield. My two BM’s are Dana and my sister Susan. My sister has brown curly hair and Dana is the shortest BM. I will try to list the vendors in the order of events. Pictures will be at the bottom and you can also view my album under Community. I just learned this yesterday.

Invitations - Gail from Simply Elegant - 95
I heard about Gail through LIW. We ordered our invitations and guest book/pen from Gail. Everything was beautiful, no complaints about the products themselves. But when we got home and counted our invites, we were short. We ordered 125 of everything, we were short on return envelopes but over on invitations. Please check that everything you ordered is in the box before you leave.

Kissing Bells – Wrap With Us – 100
I also heard about them through LIW. I used them in the past when I was planning Yianna’s shower. The day I ordered the bells they were in stock. After the wedding I had bought about 20 too many, so I returned the others no problem. They are located in Syosset on Robbins Lane.

Favors – CB Maple Farm – 100
We ordered glass maple syrup leaf bottles for our favor. Everyone loved them. Here is there website. www.cbmaplefarm.com

Labels – www.myweddinglabels.com - 100
We order little 2x2 hanging tags to go on the favors. When I ordered them, they send me a sample via email of what it will look like before they actually printed them in case I had any changes. Everything was fine and I got them a few days after placing my order.
