I added two more vendors to the review-- I forgot our awesome dance teacher and of course our hotel for OOT guests- and us.

I keep remembering vendors I forgot to add to my review!

I used Nelson D'leon and his sister Maria. I have pics of my trial in my photo album. They were amazing-- but very expensive. It was one of the things that was a total splurge and it was worth it- I felt absolutely beautiful.

Hi~

Everything looked FABULOUS! Congrats!!!

I love your CPs -- if you don't mind, can you FM me with the cost? And, was it just greenery? or are there also flowers in there (hard to tell in the pic)?

Thanks so much and congrats again!

thanks-- the CPs were varigated ivy and were scattered with small white orchids. I'll see if I can find the price per CP.

ETA_ if you look in my LIW album-- I have several close up shots from when I went to see a sample.

i was just wondering when you booked nelson deleon for your hair, did he come to you where you were getting ready or did you have to go to a salon? thanx!
also, for the trial pics with the hair half down, did he put in extensions, and if so how much does he charge for them?

thanx so much for the info!

I booked Nelson about a year in advance-- and he was booked for my day already-- Maria, his sister did me day of.. but for my trials, etc. they both worked on me. He creates the look- and the colors, etc. and then Maria executes.. Nelson is more expensive for day of-- but he is such a character-- I think worth it to have around-- but, Maria does exactly the same job.

Maria or Nelson will come to you-- but they charge a 'transportation fee' on top of their obscene prices already-- but whatever-- this was one thing that was an indulgence and I felt totally worth it.

For the hair extensions- which you will need for probably any style they do on you-- they send you to this place to get them-- where they match to your hair color. For the 3 pieces I got- it was about 120 bucks- I think-- then Nelson's salon charges you money to 'work on them'-- where they blend to match your color and sew them into whatever kind of extension you need- depending on the hair style..

It's a little complicated-- they have quite the operation going on there.. but, they make you look unbelievable.

FYI- his salon is in the city.

Bumping with an update to my review. I just went this weekend to do my album-- I sat with Joey for THREE AND A HALF HOURS.. She was so helpful and patient and really helped us get through an overwhelming task. After seeing all the pics I had selected--I think the album is going to be great... Just be prepared-- whenever you go in and order prints, etc., just plan to spend a little more $$$$.

Now I have to wait 3 to 4 months for the damn album.

Your wedding was absolutely gorgeous and ridiculously fun. The after party was great! You looked absolutely stunning! I may have to pester you with questions! At the time I was not planning my wedding, so I am glad I was able to review all of your pictures! I love the bridesmaid dresses. Mine are a similar color which is one thing I have second guessed, but after looking at your pictures I know I made the right decision!
