Hollie was the other half of our "glam squad"! She did my make-up, my mom's make-up and all 3 of my bridesmaid's make-up. Everyone had such different coloring and she matched everyone perfectly - color and personality. She did an amazing job and it lasted all night! Here is a sweet story. I was wearing a strapless gown, and I kept scratching my chest (a nervous habit) and she stuck around after she was done with our make-up to make sure that the reddness would go down in case she had to put some make-up to cover up the red. So sweet and super talented!
Flowers are such a tricky thing to order. You never really know what you're going to get.
Here are the "pro's" : I liked my bouquet and the guys boutineres. Jamie used almost all of the different flowers and plants I requested. Guests commented on how unique the centerpieces were.
Here are the "con's": There were a few things that were very different than I had asked making me think she didn't really listen during our conversations. For instance, I told the her that I didn't want a lot of cut flowers and she used a lot of wasabi button mums which are a very cheap cut flower. I also told her that I don't like orchids and didn't want any in the floral pieces, and she put green orchids in the centerpieces. I also wanted succulents in the centerpieces which were not there. I gave her detailed pictures of what I wanted things to look like and looked NOTHING like the pictures!
Responsiveness wasn't very good. It took her quite a long time to get back to me everytime I called or emailed.
The flowers were delivered over an hour late to the venue and a boutinere was missing.
I really just got the feeling like she didn't want to do my wedding flowers.
Conclusion: All in all, I think the flowers will look fine in the pictures, but I really wouldn't recommend this florist if you want anything different and artistic. If you have booked her, be sure to explain in exact terms what you want and you have to constantly stay in front of her to be sure she does what you want.
There are not enough words to explain how magnificent this resort is! When we filled out the survey, I actually wrote additional praise filling another 8x10 paper because there was not enough room on the survey sheet itself! We will be going back and have been telling everyone we know to go there!
