Everything you need for a Midwest wedding

Hey, quick question—has anyone here ever been glammed up by Ana Cvitić? She works over at Stephanie’s bridal boutique in VK. I actually picked out my wedding dress there, and she mentioned she does makeup on the side. I've heard some decent things, but I wanted to see if anyone here has actually used her before. Any reviews? 😉

Also, if anyone’s looking for a photographer, I messaged a local hair salon on Facebook to ask about their process and how fast they work—they sent some package deals straight to my inbox.

It’s the exact same price. We stayed at the Admiral downtown and got a quote that covered both locations—there isn't any difference whatsoever.😉

Ann is great at makeup—period. At least from what I’ve seen, several brides I know used her and they were all totally stoked.

Honestly, if you can swing it, just drive over to Canada to pick them up. Either a small town in the Midwest or a small town in the Midwest works. We grabbed some yellow gold pieces in a small town in the Midwest for $733, which was a steal—back home they were asking $3,800 for the exact same thing

I’ve actually heard some rumors that their gold isn't the best quality, though. Like, apparently the plating starts changing color after just a year or two...

We actually ended up getting our jewelry at Luke’s shop in Slav. We thought we were being smart taking advantage of their cash discount and whatever other deal they were pushing, but they really played us $883. Now, with this white gold, I look like a total cliché when people talk about my "wedding ring."

idk.. we went with a place we actually trust, where my sister bought her stuff 15 years ago. We're totally fine with it!!

Hey ladies, if any of you have done some digging on this before, could you do me a solid? I’m looking for restaurant or venue recommendations in Indianapolis or maybe Annapolis that can comfortably fit about 120 to 150 people. Somewhere actually decent, too.

Hi everyone 🙂! I’m having a bit of a dilemma: should I go with Victoria Beckham or the Chanel studio? I'm looking for both hair styling and makeup services. I've been scrolling through photos on Facebook, and I honestly can't make up my mind. It feels to me like Victoria does better hair, while MAC Cosmetics nails the makeup. Any suggestions? Has anyone had experience with either? Thanks so much!

I’m definitely going with MAC Cosmetics.🙂

Honestly, my experience was that Victoria just didn't show up—not even a courtesy text or a call to say she couldn't make it, nothing. I was actually serving as the maid of honor at the wedding, and she was supposed to handle the makeup for both the bride and me! I am definitely not risking my look with her ever again, so if you're looking for someone, please pick anyone else but her!

There have been quite a few threads about her on this forum, so it might be worth it for you to scroll back through the previous pages to see the history.

Go with the Chanel studio, hands down! Me and pretty much everyone I know have had nothing but amazing experiences there. 😍

Victoria is great too, though. She did my makeup once and I looked fantastic, but I still wouldn't really risk it if I wanted everything perfect...

Hey there!
It’s me again!! So, has anyone here ever used Brady’s photo studio / flower shop over in BlackRock?? They’re running this incredibly cheap package right now, so I’m dying to know—is their work actually any good??

Can anyone point me toward some killer bands? I'm looking for recommendations!!

They’re gonna play for us, and man, the party is gonna be legendary! Plus, they aren't even breaking the bank. 😉

So, it looks like more of us are stuck in this dilemma. I’ve been scrolling through the forums, and honestly, there’s a massive divide. A ton of people are venting about their experiences with Victoria, while the lucky ones who didn't run into any issues seem perfectly happy. It’s like two different worlds. I’m trying to track down some actual work samples from Chic Studio, but I’m hitting a wall. I managed to find some of Victoria's stuff on Facebook, but nothing from Chic Studio—or maybe I'm just looking in all the wrong places. Any leads? 🙂
