Market Place
Vendors in review

I thought I should get ahead of the game and try to get some of the feedback out there for the vendors that I have used. With that said...here we go!!

Toon Designs from etsy.com
This is the place I purchased my clutches from for the girls to carry down the aisle. They are handmade and are shipped directly from Thailand.
Toon was very very pleasant to work with. I ordered these about 3 weeks ago and she actually didn't have any more of the fabric I wanted but with a quick phone call she quickly ordered it. Once she received it she made them in 2 days and shipped them out. She knew that my wedding was coming soon and made sure they would be here in time. I received them today and they are perfect. Although the size is alittle bit smaller than I expected...my mistake not hers. The packaging was nice and the stitching was wonderful. Overall rating...A++

Blooms and Branches.com
I bought our manzanite trees from here. The turn around time for these were 7-10 days but I actually received them sooner. They provided me with confirmation and the package that I received them in was wonderful. They made sure to put a fragile and handle with care sticker on it which I felt meant they truly cared about the condition I received it in. The only thing I would say about these is the base of them was not as long as it appeared in the picture.
Overall rating... B

thetiebar.com
We purchased our ties for the wedding here. It was the only place that I could find navy and pink ties for a price that didnt break the bank. The product itself is very nice quality even though we only paid $15 for each. The shipping was a $1!! Couldn't ask for much more. They were shipped in a nice box wrapped up very nicely and with a receipt and business card. The selection at their website is very versatile. I would recommend them to any male looking for a tie...or female!! Whatever tickles your fancy. On top of that we received them in 2 days!! Overall rating...A+++++++++++++

Jackglass from etsy.com
Previously, I posted about the things we bought from this designer but that was before I actually received the products.. We received these very quickly and could not have been more happy with the package, product or purchasing process. They came wrapped in tissue paper and bubble wrap then in a padded box with paper inside to give it cushion. They also placed a cute note inside to say thank you. The quality of the champagne flutes we ordered were amazing. They are very sturdy and could not be more happy about them.
Overall rating... A+++++++

2cute2trendy.com
The 2 MOH's dresses were purchased here. For months we struggled with this and when I found this website I was soo excited. The dresses are goog quality and true to the size listed. They also shipped very quickly and had tracking numbers. The website was very easy to work with. Overall rating... A

pacificplex.com
The 2 other bridesmaid dresses were purchased here. I found their website to very easy to work with and their prices were fantastic. The one time that I did run into a glitch with their website I called them and talked to a very friendly girl. She helped me with the sizing and the ordering. Their delivery time is amazing. I will definitely order from them again. Overall rating... A+++

David's Bridal
My dress was bought here as well as my 1st veil. Typically, Im not a fan of their stuff because Im quite the fashionista and I find their stuff to be pretty main stream but when I saw the dress I wanted with small changes and a lot smaller price tag I could not resist. Overall, I was pleased with the way my dress came back but I was not very fond of their alterations people simply because I couldn't understand them from the language barrier and because one of them was alittle on the rude side. I mentioned to them that the beading on a few spots was not completely in place and they did not offer to fix it which kinda pissed me off but at that point I just wanted to take my dress home. I also was not pleased to hear that they do not accept any sort of refund or exchange. The first veil I bought has never been worn and is still in the bag but they will not take it back even if I still spend money with them. That is pretty annoying. Overall, I would say my expectations from them were what I expected but I still rate them a C.

Patricia Field:
My bachelorette party dress was bought here and although I received it with a small pink spot on it which looked like may have been from the pink tissue paper it was wrapped in when shipping I was still very pleased. I had spoke with them several times and had problems ordering the dress online but when I called them they were very nice and even fixed the issue while I was on the phone. They also told me they were taking the dress off the rack as we speak so that noone could claim it while I was ordering. I had to ask them about sizing and when I received the dress and it was big I was not surprised because they told me ahead of time. I was very pleased with what I received an how quickly it came in. Overall rating...A

K&G Superstore:
The fellas bought all of their suits here. The price was great. The products were great. The customer service was horrible. We had to walk around literally looking for someone and they wouldn't allow us to try on shirts with the suits even after we told them that 10 people were going to buy them. In the end we ended up going somewhere else to buy shirts but couldn't resist the price of Kenneth Cole suits being less than $100. Overall rating...D

That is all the vendors I can think of for now...Im sure there are more such as the dollar store and all that jazz but that's just too much work! Once the wedding is over I will update again on all the other products or services!!

pacificplex.com - how good did you find the color true-ness when you got it to the picture on the site? If you don't mind me asking what dress did you get from here? (I'm a blue bride too)
Thanks!

@wilsom04- I'm telling you the tie bar should have practically any color combo out there. they are excellent.

@sallymarie81- I still have it actually. It sure is! I have a post on it. The pictures aren't the greatest. I could try to take some more if you would like. It's not sold anymore so there isn't a professional picture out there. Email me if you want more info on it.... danaltravis@yahoo.com  I'm willing to negotiate on price b/c I really really need to sell this.

@soon2bmrsmann- the color of the navy dress i got was exactly what it showed. they are really helpful so you could call them and ask them that same question and im sure they would tell if its different. i can't remember exactly what the name of it is...in my blog though i posted it with a picture. you can find more info on it there. My friend who is plus size also ordered 2 other dresses from there for my parties and they both were great quality and exactly what we expected.
No problem ladies...anything I can do to help out a fellow bride!! :)
