Hi ladies I just had my wedding on wednesday and it was FANTASTIC, better than I ever imagined...Natalia was great!! Will right a review once I get home.

I was going to make a thread about BitterSweet too. I orignally ordered a bridal bouquet, two bridesmaid bouqet (which would also be used for centerpieces) and five boutineires, I got that no problem. Two days after I received it I emailed Crystal because more people were coming (also I added another bridesmaid)and I needed one more centerpiece and a boutinere for a new groomsmen. I paid for the new order and She told me that she still had flowers left over from my previous order and would get it within the week. That was in May I have gotten two emails from her since then, once in late June telling me she sent it and then one two weeks ago saying that UPS lost the package and she sent me another one express. If she sent it express I would have received it the next day since we are both in Canada. Obvioiusly I havent received anything. Im leaving to Cancun in one week. I now have one table with no centerpiece, a bridesmaid with no bouquet and a groomsman with no boutinere. I dont know what to do....

Thanks Ida for the review, you were a BEAUTIFUL bride. I got a price from Natalia for a dessert buffet, it is $20/person, taxes and services in. Did anyone get it? If so was it worth it? Thx

congrats and welcome to the forum, you will find tons of info here!!!

I am just wondering if anyone else is having trouble getting email replies back from Natalia lately? Is she on holiday or something because I have emailed her three times in the past three weeks and I have gotten no reply (usually she replies back within the week)...is anyone else having communication problems??

I will be wearing barefoot sandals for the ceremony. I bought them from Home Page Barefoot sandals for beach wedding or fun any time. These are my reception shoes, they are Christian Louboutin

its sooo pretty, love it!

I love it, you looked soooooooooooo BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

WOW mummergirl, you looked gorgeous and the pics are AMAZING!!!!

Cant wait to see your pics, Im glad everything worked out. I cant wait to have my wedding and ttd pics taken by lincoln and lori!!!!!

you look amazing

Im soooo sorry you had to go through that but thanks for posting your review and warning other brides about him.

Hey I used Bittersweet Wedding Design, Crystal was awesome to work with. Here are pics of my flowers

hi I would like the baseball hat, the OOT bags and the bouquet holder.

hey ladies I have quick questions for those who did or are doing a welcome dinner. Where did you do it? Did you let your WC reserve it for you and is it free or is there a charge. Thanks

Hey Ladies; I saw this on martha stewart weddings and thought it was a great idea!! Maid Service: Bridesmaid Fashion Cards

So frustrating that they seem to lack consistency, with this and with prices for certain add-ons. I'm getting really frustrated :-( I agree with you completely, their inconsistency is very frustrating

I went with size 14, (Im a street size 12) it came out really big so I have to get it taken it, I would suggest you custom order it so you dont have to get it tailored, and yes it is in white.

Thats the way it come, I just hung it up.

HAHA Jacilynda im loving you think i can rock in this dress at 40 plus xxxx Dee thankyou im so happy xx I think you would look BEAUTIFUL in it!!! FYI, if you are planning on getting it, it took about a month from the day I ordered the dress to get to me. If you have any more questions, let me know! My ceremony/reception dress is this (but in white):

Quote: Originally Posted by Chanti Trying to book reception location myself for wedding on June 29th: apparently they cannot confirm your location until 3 weeks prior to the wedding. We've been asked to provide our first, second and third choices. Thus, it would be impossible to confirm the location 1 year ahead of time. ! That's weird, I emailed Natalia where I would like to have my reception and she sent me back a confirmation of the location. My wedding is on July 29, 2009 about 10 weeks from now so I dont why they would be telling other brides that they cant reserve locations until three weeks before the wedding when I got my location reserved

Thanks Jacilynda for letting me know how to post pictures. So here they are: You cant tell from the pictures, but there is soooooo much tulle under the skirt to give it the poofy look... And for comparisons sake this is the picture on the website :
