Rawlinson Photography, Bellesario Florist...HELP!

I don't know where to start for a cake, photograhper, or florist so I'm hoping someone can help me out! Right now I'm looking at Rawlinson Photography in Plymouth, and possibly Bellesario for very basic, simple flowers (I blew my budget on my reception and ceremony site...oopsy!)

And every baker I've called is just plain MEAN! Except Iversen's in Dearborn...anyone used that one?

Any advice would be appreciated!

    I am using Kelly Lynne Photography

    www.kellylynnephotography.com

    She is awesome and very reasonable!

    As far as my florist I am using Michelle Nonis, she works out of her home so her overhead is non-existent. Page me and PM me your email addy if you want her number.

    Hope this helps!!

    Check out the vendor list at the top of the page. You can see who on the board used what vendors. Plus there is a spot for vendor reviews at the top too, which can be very helpful.
    Iverson's is great! My DH's family has used them in the past and they are very good. We used Milford Baking Company instead because they were a lot cheaper, and I had my heart set on using them. (My family uses them for every occasion)
    If you're interested you can see a few of my wedding pictures under the Promised Pictures post. If you like the style, I used Casey Irey Photography, she is very reasonably priced too. 
    Good Luck!!

    I did the same thing with my budget, most of it went to my reception. My vendors for photog, florist and cake (cupcakes actually) are Essence of Life Photography out of South Lyon, April Irelynn Designs out of Trenton and Lakes Cakes out of Commerce Twp. They all travel to you. They all work out of their home, so their overhead is low and their pricing is great. I have more info in my bio if you're interested!

    I used Bellisarios for my florist and my flowers were gorgeous! All my guests were talking about my flowers! I used Emily Dowd for my pics and they turned out amazing!

    I talked with Rawlinson but their style wasn't what I was looking for. I used Kate Lees of KBL Photography & loved her.

    My baker isn't taking orders right now but I also loved my florist - April Oboza of Irelynn Designs. Pictures of everything & contact info are in my bio.

    Never heard of the photog or flower shop but I used Iversen's in Dearborn and they were fabulous. I highly recommend them for your cake.

    HTH!

    My opinion is Rawlinson Photography VERY overpriced! I'm going with Kreativ Imaging.....$1500 for unlimited locations, 2 photog's, slide show, proof book, CD, copyright release and a free Engagement Session w/complimentary 8x10
