What a great review! I'm thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with FLC. I'd love to see close up pics of your make up and hair since I was recommened to use Octavio as well.
Also, were your centerpieces from FLC? I loved the iron ones with the blue and green globes!
You really left nothing out for your big day and insprired me, and I'm sure many more of the girls on here, to use some of your ideas.
Thank you!!!!

Thank you!!!! | This is the only pic I have so far that is close enough for you to see makeup...hair is difficult since I wore my veil the entire day, but once I get my pro pics hopefully there will be some there, too! 
And yes, all centerpieces were from FLC...actually, Tara took me to the vendor she uses and I got to shop in their warehouse...it was amazing, so many linens, glassware, vases, lounge furniture and decor pieces. It was really fun! I can't remember the name of the company she uses, but they have incredible stuff. All of our linens, glassware, chargers & napkin rings, centerpieces, lounge furniture and some other decor pieces we used in the lounge came from the same place.
I felt like I was in very good hands using FLC. Tara really is fabulous and she was on the ball the entire time. She even coordinated w/ FA since she knew Daniela, so it really did work seamlessly!
I'll post some hair & makeup pics when I have some more!

I love your makeup! Looks very natural which is what I would choose as well.
And that's so cool that Tara took you to pick out your decor. I was assigned Amy at FLC but I'm sure she has access to the same vendor.
Thanks again!

| One more question, how were the prices at this decor vendor? I imagine that everything can really add up. Is everything priced individually? And did you plan a trip down there for the purpose to go over these details and pick things out?

But the good thing is that everything was priced individually, and I told Tara what I wanted, she got the quote and then I slashed it, ending up where I need to be. It was very easy to do, and Amy will have access to the same stuff!
I didn't make a trip down there specifically for the rentals, but I made one so that I could meet Tara. I did my initial site visit before hiring her, so we needed to meet once I brought her on board so we could get everything in order, which is when I was able to do cake tasting, decor decisions, etc. It was entirely worth it, but we did a lot over email too, so if you don't have the ability to make a trip just to meet with Amy about decor, she can email you picture after picture, and I have a lot, too!
