Hair and Makeup - Monique Madrid A+I opted for the airbrush (and I highly recommend it) and my hair done. to see pictures, here are my pro pics
http://s3.photobucket.com/albums/y82/tag03urit/Our%20Wedding/She was really nice and really flexible with time too. We had 5 hair styles and 1 regular makeup and my airbrushing. We started at 1030, and done by 3ish. She came to the hotel that we were staying at. I also had a hair trial about a month before the date, her place is a little hard to find but not impossible. Overall, I loved my makeup and hair. Cupcakes - Rose Petals Cakery A-Delicious cupcakes, the only complaint I have, is that we had decided on having a coiled look to the frosting as opposed to a flowery look, and it was on the contract and everything but (and this is why I say it wasn't a huge deal), while looking through the wedding pictures 3 weeks later, I saw that she didn't use the coiled look like we had decided. No biggy though, it's not like they tasted different, and I didn't even notice until after the wedding.We used her cupcake tower and she came and got it after the wedding.Small cake for ontop of the cupcake tower- Sweet P Sweets A+She couldn't really mess this up, it was just a 6 inch round cake. She worked with Rose (who did the cupcakes) to get the color to match the cupcakes. The small piece of cake I ate was amazing, in fact, we are going to get a replica of our little cake on our one year anniversary. (we aren't going to freeze it.. not enough freezer space).Tuxes - Men's Wearhouse - Bolingbrook AFrom what DH tells me, he didn't have any problems with them at all.My dress - Wedding Belles AMy dress was 700$, it was a sample, and it didn't have any tags on it. I loved it because it fit perfectly, the only thing that had to be adjusted was the hem and the bust.Rehearsal Dinner - Gordon Biersch in Bolingbrook A+This place did everything for us, we had our own little area sectioned off, the food was AMAZING and the drinks were awesome too. They were always checking on us to make sure we had everything. Linen Rental - Munkeboe Linens out of AZANo complaints here, they were really inexpensive and the linens arrived on time. Wedding Jewlery - Kays A+The wedding jewelry was a gift from MIL and it was beautiful :)Hair Accessories - Claires A My Shoes - David's Bridal in Peoria, color Lapis BAside from being uncomfortable shoes, the place only dyes shoes twice a month, so I was really pushing it on time. but they turned out fine.Table Runners - DIYSilk Flower arrangement for gazebo - DIYAside from the 10 minute delay due to drizzle, the day went by smoothly. It was perfect and it went by SO fast!! Anyway, here's the link to the pro pictures again.
