Thanks so much!!!
We actually already went ahead and ordered some small treats, even though we probably could have waited a bit longer. I just couldn't stomach throwing away several thousand bucks on a massive wedding cake when we've heard nothing but rave reviews for this place. They’re definitely more budget-friendly, but honestly, the quality is top-tier and they taste amazing.
We haven't officially locked everything in regarding the cake yet, so we're really hoping to get some local advice or a solid recommendation once we arrive so we can finalize all the details.
Anyway, thanks a million for the help!! 🌼

Okay, awesome, thanks! I was thinking about heading over there early in the morning.
I know they're somewhere near the ExxonMobil in San Diego, but I'm not 100% certain, so if you could just drop the exact location, that would be great. I thought about just looking it up on GPS, but honestly, this is way easier. 😉

Does anyone happen to know the hours for the Viadel ice cream shop over in Solin? I can't find them anywhere online... :/

urbanfalcon44 said:Thanks for the tip! 👍I actually just listened to a few of their tracks and they sound really solid. I'm definitely keeping them on my shortlist.

They're just young guys with tons of energy, and honestly, they haven't let me down at any wedding I've hired them for so far...
Unfortunately, I don't have their info anymore because I deleted it when they weren't available for our date, but you should be able to track them down online easily enough...

Honestly, I’d highly recommend checking out the band Versace. We actually tried to book them for our own thing, but they were already booked up (not sure what your timeline looks like), but seriously—they’re just these great, high-energy guys. Every single party I’ve been to where they played, they absolutely killed it!!!

Yeah, but they’re being super shady about their pricing. I actually have to go see them in person to get a quote (which isn't exactly convenient since I don't live in St.).. that's why I'm asking here—has anyone actually ordered from them before and knows what the damage is gonna be?

Actually, I’m more curious about how they price their pastries by the pound rather than just looking at a whole cake. Like, does anyone happen to know the deal on that?

Has anyone actually been to the Dolce & Gabbana bakery? I'm wondering if their cakes are worth the hype and what the damage to my wallet is going to be.

Since I placed my order over the phone, nobody thought to mention a single thing about it, and then, after I’d already gone through the hassle of trying on three different dresses, that woman finally decides to bring it up... honestly, it was just incredibly unprofessional...

I don't know how things work where you live, but down in Downtown LA, those smaller boutiques won't charge you a dime just to try on a dress... they actually let you take pictures if you want to... 😉

The bride was absolutely livid when her maid of honor snapped a photo of her... I mean, honestly, the sheer audacity of it just left everyone stunned... 😵

I went through the exact same thing, though mine was at Victoria's Secret... I mean, it's not like anyone's gonna die over $25, but it was honestly ridiculous that Bertha $50 was there while everything else was just $75... and that was just for the fitting, nothing else...
So I just headed straight over to Victoria's Secret Sirok Brijeg instead. Their selection is easily three times bigger than what we have here, and I actually found my dress... plus, even if I hadn't bought anything, they wouldn't have tried to charge me some random "consultation fee" or whatever...

Hey, does anyone here have any actual experience with Lane Kovacevic? I stumbled upon her Facebook profile—Lana Make up—and honestly, she looks pretty legit, so I was wondering if anyone has actually sat in her chair before?
Thanks! ⚘

Hey everyone, where did you guys end up getting your wedding bands? Looking for some solid recommendations here.
Thanks

mellowviper said:If I'm reading you right, you basically want something custom-made based on your own design, which means you didn't see this specific dress in their current collections, right?!
In my opinion, if that's the case, you'd probably be better off finding a talented local seamstress to whip it up for you rather than heading to a high-end fashion house. When you ask for something outside of their established lines, they tend to charge a premium because it's bespoke work, so you could easily end up dropping an extra thousand bucks just because you wanted something unique.

Now, if you actually saw something you liked at one of their shops but just wanted to tweak a tiny detail, that's a whole different story. From what I've gathered, people rave about Arileo—they're pros and they work fast. As for Monica, I haven't heard much, though nothing bad either; it just seems like fewer people go to her.🙂

The thing is, I honestly have zero clue what I want my wedding dress to look like yet. I thought maybe sitting down with a designer would help us brainstorm a solution together... who knows, I might end up falling in love with one of their actual runway pieces anyway. I've also heard great things about Ariel, but there's basically zero chatter about Monica, so I was just wondering if anyone here has actually worked with her or used her services...

Hey everyone, just checking in from another hopeless romantic over here!!
I’m trying to figure out if any of the ladies on this forum have actually gone to Monica Sablic for a wedding ring? If you did, were you actually happy with how things turned out?
I’m currently torn between her and Arileo. I’ve got my own gut feeling about it (obviously, I’m totally open to hearing your suggestions/feedback/critiques), but I’d love to know which of these two studios I should prioritize? I’ve heard nothing but glowing reviews for Arileo, but then again, Monica’s portfolio looks pretty killer too... either way, I’ll take any info you guys can throw at me!
👍
