Vendor Reviews - 9/3/11 Wedding - Part 2 - Limo/MakeupHair/Flowers

Bridal Party Limo Bus: Emperor Limousine – Addison - B+ - http://www.emperorlimousine.com/

This one is tricky. We had an awesome experience planning with them. Very responsive, professional, and inexpensive for sure. The limo bus they gave us was brand new and gorgeous. Driver was sweet, on-time, and needed no guidance for directions – all wonderful! BUT, there was a bit of a torrential downpour on wedding day & there was definite rain leaking in from a window. The boys put their tux jackets near the window to keep the seats from getting wet. Now I can’t say for sure it was a craptastic limo because due to the amount of rain, it may have been inevitable. It was just disappointing for a new vehicle (we had The Wave).

 Makeup: Moya Makeup – Nikolina Gubernaut – A+ - www.moyamakeup.com

Nikolina was awesome! She was incredibly talented AND one of the sweetest people ever. She somehow managed to make 9 women with completely different tastes & looks look amazing! Every single girl that sat in her chair got exactly what they wanted. I’ve never had makeup last so long & especially not in the horrible, humid, wet weather conditions. Her pricing is second to none for the incredible service you get. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

 Hair: Tamara Makeup & Hair Artistry – Lindsey – A+ - www.tamaramakeup.com/#/new-landing/">http://www.tamaramakeup.com/#/new-landing/

I booked them based on reviews I saw on The Knot and Wedding Wire  and they didn’t steer me wrong. Lindsey was fantastic! Again, incredibly sweet & patient, and managed to give each girl a completely different look from each other. No one walked out looking like they were ready for prom – they looked like celebs! And everyone’s hair was near 100% even after the torrential downpour and tons of heat & humidity. The pricing can’t be beat for the talent you get.

 Flowers: Flowers by Victoria – Vicky Carlson – A+ - www.flowersbyvictoria.com/">www.flowersbyvictoria.comVicky is a rockstar!

She had a pretty restricted budget to work with, a very large bridal party, and yet she blew us away. She was very responsive to every change or request I had - and believe me there were plenty as I'm as indecisive as they come. She rolled with it and delivered the most beautiful arrangements I've ever laid eyes on.

I highly recommend Victoria to any bride who wants stunning florals that aren't cookie cutter and look like everyone else's. She can make even the most traditional bouquets look extra special. Her price, talent, professionalism, and quality are top of the heap. 4 days later & my bouquet looks like it did then! She's truly is incredible.

    Have ZERO worries...I booked them very last minute and I thank God I did. We had awful weather and everyone's hair was amazing during the humidity and downpour. They were fantastic to work with. You will be extra gorgeous, I promise!
