I've been more off than on the Boards the month leading up to the wedding, but I just wanted to thank everyone here as I received such great advice from this Board. I'm going to do reviews of the vendors and post them on WeddingWire.com, and maybe here as well as I loved all my vendors. You can see some pics online from the Washington Post (www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2010/03/19/GA2010031901654.html?sid=ST2010031901268">http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2010/03/19/GA2010031901654.html?sid=ST2010031901268)as our wedding was in the Style section yesterday (our wedding planner arranged it).
We loved, loved our vendors. The band, Millennium, made the night! The flowers and lighting created a wonderful and elegant ambiance (not quite the winter wonderland described by the WashPost, but more like walking through a garden of white flowers, lit by candles, at twilight). My hair make-up artists were fabulous (if you saw me before they worked on me, you would not recognize me). Our photographers and video Here's the list of our vendors:
