Questions from a MOH about San Gabriel, Ca

Good Morning ladies, I got married last year and my MOH is now engaged and getting married in San Gabriel, CA on Nov 26th. That is where her FI and family is from but we both live in Las Vegas, NV. I am very excited for her and she asked me to be her MOH but I know nothing about the area and she really doesn't know anything much either other than she will be getting married there. So questions are if you don't mind. 

Hairdressers in that Area? 
Bakers in that Area? 
Florists as well would be awesome
Anything else you can add would be awesome. 

She is not a big planner and I found the knot so very helpful and I by proxy becoming her coordinator as such. If it hadn't been for my May 2010 board, DIY board and my Las Vegas board I don't know if I would have known of all the places that were available to me.   

Congrats to all of you brides!!!  TIA for any advice you can provide me.

    for florist, try Shirley at the Flower Mart (http://www.flowermarttc.com). They are located in Temple City (which is only one city over from San Gabriel), and they received a Bride's Choice Award 2010 on Wedding Wire. They are my florst for my May 2012 wedding, and Shirley provide me with very reasonable pricing, and she is also very sweet as well (she answered all my questions in details, and was patient even though I changed ideas 10 millions times). I hope this helps :)

    Just keep in mind that the San Gabriel Valley is very close to LA proper, and wedding professionals here are used to driving around. So anyone in the greater LA (and probably even OC) area should be fine. Also extremely close to Pasadena.

    As far as flowers, I will recommend a friend, if that's allowed -  Tweeny Kau at http://www.theflowerlab.com/ (she also does letterpressed invites -- http://www.tinywrenpress.com ). She has great ratings from all the review sites, and I think she has a good design sensibility. She's located on the west side, but this area should be no problem.

    I would recommend Leah from Long Lasting Impressions for hair and makeup. She'll travel, but she lives in Chino, so it's not too far away.

    @pamila51510:  ditto will47...all vendors in Los Angeles would be willing to travel to San Gabriel.  Where is her venue...just curious.  Here's my recomendation

    For makeup and hair:  www.kellyzhang.com

    As for bakers, there are alot of inexpensive asian bakeries in the area.  I haven't book my baker yet....so won't be able to share this one =)

    If she's looking for makeup and hair both, you could also check out http://www.thmakeupdesign.com/, though she's not cheap, especially if Theresa does it herself.

    I had a wonderful MUA, Lili..and she's pretty reasonable. Her website is more of a blog...but you can check it out: http://www.teampretty.net/... or her e-mail address is makeupninja@gmail.com.
    She's in Pasadena, which I don't think is very far. But I know she'll travel.

    I agree w/ will47....Theresa does great work too...my gf used her for her wedding last year.  But she is a little pricey....
