For those that are interested, here’s the list of vendors that we used and loved for our wedding. These are in no particular order…
Caterer
We had Berwick Catering and served the Italian Family Style Meal. The food was delicious and TJ was amazing, helpful and had such a great attention to detail. Everything about the food and all things related to the food went extremely well.

Make-Up
I used Nicole at Mukha on High Street in the short north. She came to my parent’s house and did a wonderful job!! I loved her and still go to her for brow waxing :) We did a practice round first a few months before the wedding. A close up showing my make-up (fake eye-lashes and all!)
I feel pretty!
Hair
I went to a Amanda at Ultimate Image in Powell. My normal hair-stylist does not do up-dos. I liked Amanda and loved my hair. Of course, we did a practice round and I took a photo of what I wanted.

Flowers
Our flowers were from Flowers on Springtree Lane. I love, love, LOVE Anne and Robin. They did a FANTASTIC job and I didn’t give them much detail or information go on with the flowers and I adored how they turned out.
Perfectly pretty
Cake
We went with the Cake Studio. Mmmmm each slice was half-white, half-chocolate with chocolate ganache and fresh raspberries in between with a butter cream frosting. It is their signature cake and we didn’t try any others because we fell in love with this one. Maybe hard to see, but the cake was 5-layers and the different tiers had different designs to match the designs on my dress (another detail I loved that I’m sure no one else cared about!!) You can see some other flowers in this photo:
Oh I want a piece of this cake again!
Band
We hired Big Daddy Blue. They were great :) We worked with the agency Class Acts and they helped with finding a band that was available and in our price range. I can’t remember the name of the girl I worked with (my mom handled this detail more than I did).

Invitations
We used Paper Occassions in downtown Dublin. LOVED THEM! We spent a pretty penny on invitations and all things paper because I ended up REALLY caring about this detail.

Photo Guestbook
This was a detail that was extremely important to me and I cherish the personal, touching messages our guests wrote. My mom took our “engagement” photos 3 weeks before the wedding because I was sad we didn’t have any then I threw the book together on Heritage Makers. Here’s what the book looks like (click the photo): https://powerofastory.com/2009/07/16/photo-guestbook/
