Life in Still Photography        A+

I absolutely love the way these turned out.  Rien was really great with photo editing, and hid every lump and bump!  She was also able to edit out birthmarks, freckles, and all those other little imperfections.  Rien was so easy to work with, and she made me comfortable.  She also had lots of photos for me to look at for ideas.  Rien also gave me some tips on how to position myself to accent my features.  She was worth every penny!

Wedding Dress

David's Bridal        C

Oh David's.  They were absolutely terrible to work with. Your typical salespeople, brought dresses that were out of my budget, tried to get me to buy that day, then were really rude when they found out that I was just looking.  Based off of their salespeople, I would have failed them, but I can't deny that the quality of the dress I bought was really nice. I ended up buying the dress from a bride who no longer needed it, so I didn't have to deal with the salespeople anymore.

I cannot rave enough about her service.  She was able to schedule me promptly, was extremely kind, and did fantastic work!  I wanted her to redesign my dress from an A line to a more fitted, semi-mermaid style.  The finished product was phenomenal.  Wedding dresses are her specialty, but she also does other garments.  Other services she offers are dress storage, steaming, garters, veils, shawls, and turning the dress into baby blankets, pillows, or a new dress.

Save the Dates 

Vistaprint.com         A

We really liked their user friendly website.  It was easy to upload our own image and text to make the STD's ourselves.  The quality of the postcards was amazing, and there wasn't a watermark or any Vistaprint labeling on the cards.  The postcards were free by signing up on their email list.  They always have promotional deals going on.  The only thing we didn't approve of was shipping.  They charged $10.00 for shipping with an estimated time of delivery of 2 weeks.  Seemed a little pricey for just a small envelope that came through the postal service.  Overall we were really impressed with the postcards.  Pictures under DIY.

His Ring

Overstock.com     A+

I bought an everyday Tungsten ring off of amazon.  It was $45.00.  I may purchase a white gold one for special occasions, which I will also get off of Overstock.

Tablecloths

Linen Tablecloths        A

I purchased my tablecloths from an ebay seller, and they were dirt cheap!  They offer single tablecloths and bulk sets.  They even offer special orders if you call them to set it up.  My 20 inch rounds were less than $8 a piece, and I got free shipping!  They look really nice, and were cheaper than renting.  I plan to resell them after my May 2010 wedding.  Email me at [email protected] if interested in purchasing them.
