Rejjie's Review - 6/29/08 - Old Field Club, Flower Michelle, Christina Bohn, JK Entertainment
Hi!
So, I got my pictures so I thought I'd write a review of our wonderful day.
Weather - B
It was a beautiful day, then it started to drizzle during the ceremony. It lasted just through the cocktail hour. We got some cool pictures in the rain, that didn't do wonders for my hair!
BM Dresses -Anthropologie - A+
I loved these dresses. I even got one for myself to wear. We got them off the shelf at Anthropologie. They were perfect for my casual girls. They were flattering for all three of them.
My Gown - Monique L'Hullier - A-
I loved my gown that I got at a sample sale for $500. It would have been over $4,000. Amazingly great fabric and feel. The reason it only got an A- is because of the way it fit me. I was a little sad that my armpits made a weird pucker that was not very flattering. I still loved it overall.
Old Field Club - A++++
I was so pleased with everything at the OFC - the food was great, they were very helpful, took care of everything. Tom was hilarious and really on top of everything. He made sure we ate and everything. The hall was so beautiful - from the cocktail hour to the ceremony. We had some little decorations around, but it really didn't need much - nice, simple, elegant.
JK Entertainment - A++++++++++
These guys were AMAZING. People are still talking about what a great band. They were having so much fun, everyone was dancing - they brought our two families together beautifully. Joel was so great to work with. I can's say enough about this band. We listened to so many bands and none of them had enough 'soul' for DH - these guys did. They played all kinds of things and knew when to be subtle. They were the highlight of the wedding, really.

Christina was amazing. She was so unobtrusive and fun. She got so many amazing moments of our quirky wedding. She was game for everything and I love that we have all the pictures digitally so I can do what I want with them. She was so much fun to work with. I don't know why more people don't use her.
My favorite pics:
Grandma!
More in my album - I'm adding them slowly!
Flower Michelle - A+
The centerpieces were so lovely - they were so beautiful in the hall. My bouquet was a work of art - so pretty, but I thought it would be more red than magenta, but oh well. The girls' bouquets were great. John was amazing to work with.
Rolling Pin Bakery - A++
Loved our cake! We hadn't been that excited after the samples - they were a tad dry. Then we asked them to make the cake EXTRA moist for the day - and it WAS. It was absolutely delicious. I wish I had a piece right now. They make you a new one for the year anniversary, and I can't WAIT. So delicious.

Thanks Stacy and Sabrina. They were so nice to work with and were flexible with me since I couldn't have a hair trial from Los Angeles. I loved my hair and makeup. My girls loved their hair too. My makeup stayed great all night - even through the rain. In fact I had to SCRUB it off in Grenada the following day! My hair didn't stay the same through the romp in the rain - but please, how could it! They did JUST what I asked. Loved it.
Honeymoon - Grenada - La Luna - A+++++++++++
This place was so amazing. I want move there. I cried when I had to leave. I can't believe how amazing!
I'm sure I've got more that I'll add when I think of it.
Thanks girls - couldn't have done it from LA without you!

UGH - I tried the pics, but they didn't work. I don't know why, but they're in my album. Sorry. I'll work on it!
