THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE 7-7-07: Russo's on the Bay, Riccardo Video Productions, Romantique, The Caleps and more...

Before I start my very long review I just want to thank Ron and Liz for creating this website. When I got engaged I didn't know where to start first...the entire wedding process was so overwhelming, but when I found LIW everything became so much easier. On top of everything I got to talk to other girls who knew what I was going through and was able to form firendships that will last forever. Ron and Liz, you both deserve an A+++++++ for this great website! Thanks so much!

Save the Dates: agiftfulheart.com: A+++ - I have to admit I didn’t even know what save the dates were until I joined LIW. Since my wedding is on a popular date during the 4th of July weekend I knew I had to send these out when I found them. I searched all the major vendors, but when I came across agiftfulheart.com I knew I had found the ones I wanted. I worked with Kathy throughout the entire process and never spoke to her once on the phone. We communicated solely via email and at the end I was very impressed with the final product. They came out amazing and we received many compliments on them.

Bridesmaid Cards: isadoraink.com: A - Once again I never knew about these cards until I joined LIW. I wanted a cute, unique way to ask my bridesmaids to be in the Bridal Party and when I saw these cards I knew the girls would love them. Isadora worked with me very patiently to find the right shade of blue fabric for the girl’s dresses and she came close but it wasn’t exactly what I was looking for. It didn’t matter because a few months later I changed my mind and my entire color theme changed…oh well. All in the all the girls loved the cards.

Wedding Bands & other day of jewelry – Il Gioiello 18th Avenue Brooklyn – A+++++++ - I don’t have enough good things to say about Il Gioiello. They were definitely one of my favorite vendors to work with. It all started when DH bought my beautiful engagement ring from them back in December 2005. After that I went back to get FH his Raymond Weil watch (my wedding present to him), our wedding bands, our groomsmen Zoppini bracelets, our flowergirl and ringbearer gold bracelets, our Best Man bracelet and Maid of Honor diamond pendant necklace and our parent gifts. They treated us very well and we would recommend them to anyone!

Placecards and Rehearsal Dinner Invitations: Paperstyle.com : A+++ - I was doing a search on LIW for Rehearsal Dinner Invitations and came across a really cute set that I liked, but there was no info. on who made them. I started to search through random websites and when I logged into Paperstyle.com I found them almost instantly. Even better was the fact that I found them for 50% off original price. I put my order in and for about 2 days we went back and forth with revisions to my proof. Once I confirmed the final proof I had the invitations in my hand within a few days. I also purchased my place cards from them. I had been searching for envelope placecards for awhile and had seen some I liked on other sites, but they were much more $$$. I finally came across this set from Crane’s on paperstyle.com and they were much cheaper, so once again I put my order in and within a few days they were in the mail.

Documents & Design – A+++ When I first started planning I knew I would have to get something from this vendor, because everything on their website was so beautiful! I finally settled on the idea of table numbers and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. The ordering process was so easy and I was told my order would be in by June. Mid April I get a package in the mail and it’s my gorgeous table numbers! Great service, great quality product…I highly recommend this vendor.
