I got my dress from Dolly Couture and I just can't say enough awesome things about her and her company. Dolly & Nickie have the best customer service imaginable, because they're both just fabulous people but really care about all of their brides.…More »

Now that the wedding is over, I'm coming back with my full on review. And I'm happy to report that the Rosehill lived up to my pre-emptive 5 star review.
First off, the space is great for a group around 100. You can fit a dance floor with seated…More »
I'll update this again post-wedding, but I am pumped to be getting hitched at the Rosehill. J and I… Read more »
Now that our wedding is over I just wanted to update my review. We had booked with Life is Sweet in December 2009 for our wedding, having really wanted cupcakes instead of the typical wedding cake (not because it's a fad, but because we love…More »
Life is Sweet is going to be doing a wedding cupcake tower for us so I'll have to update this review… Read more »
Most people have no problem buying clothing online. Maybe not even electronics. But diamond jewelry? You may seem wary about making such a big purchase online - especially since there's plenty of "icky" jewelers online - but Big Nile is really…More »
Disclaimer: I didn't buy anything. I couldn't buy anything. $$$$... but you knew that already.
J and I came in here while visiting Old Town Pasadena... we were there "just to look" at wedding bands. We knew we wouldn't be ordering our bands from…More »

Super cute! I came here to try out the L Letterpress, because I really wish I could learn to letterpress. The staff was very helpful and showed me how the machine worked and let me try it out. While in the store, I checked out their wedding…More »

My fiance calls Michael's the "height of American Decadence," because, really, who needs any of the stuff they sell here?
Compared to the Michael's that you'll find in new strip malls in the suburbs, this one is pretty run down. It's in an older…More »
I love crafts and this Michael's is huge (and the parking situation is way better than in Santa Monica). There was a huge selection of crafting items and I found everything I needed.
Unfortunately, this place is way understaffed. Long lines, and a…More »

In my time living in Toronto, I thought of Birks as a small step below Tiffany and a big step above the traditional mall jewelry stores (Peoples, Mappins, etc). I didn't ever step foot in the place when I lived in the T dot, but passed the display…More »

Ah, Jeez. Maybe I'm harsh because they were "under renovation" but this place was crazy disorganized. I couldn't figure out my way around the store nor do I know if they have any sort of organizational method. But I just found myself walking in…More »

While in Toronto we came here to check out wedding bands. I'm no jewelry pro (the only jewelry I own is an engagement ring) and so I figured that a jeweler, of all people, would be good at recommending a complimentary wedding band and offer other…More »
Came back again and despite an empty store it was pretty DIY. I.e. we waited a good half hour for the "bridal undergarments" before saying "screw it" and trying on stuff ourselves.
But that's not why I'm giving this place 1 star.
It's because they…More »
