save the dates - magnetstreet.com
A+
I love the fact that all the products at magnetstreet are 100% customizable. When I couldn't find exactly what I wanted, I was able to tweak one of their designs and ended up with more than I could have asked for. The prices are completely reasonable and the magnets came FAST and looked perfect.
paper products - lcipaper.com
A+
My mom did most of the paper ordering, but as far as I could tell, there were no problems. Prices were right, everything came quickly, and the orders were correct. I would work with them again, and recommend them to anyone.
printer - greko printing - plymouth, mi
A+
I was so excited when my mom found this place. Their prices were about half of what was offered to us at Kinko's, so they saved us a ton of money on our printing. They did make a mistake when cutting the invitations, but they were upfront about it and paid for new paper and reprinted at no extra cost so I have no complaints about that. They also got everything done so quickly. I would absolutely work with them again, and have been recommending them everywhere!
dress, veil, tiara - elegant bridal - mt pleasant, mi (CLOSED)
Store Closed.
A
Perhaps I watch too much Say Yes to the Dress and my expectations were too high, but I didn't feel like I got the attention I felt I should have in the store...although I didn't have an appointment. My mom and I went on a whim the day after I got engaged. I didn't have an appointment when I went back to buy a veil either, come to think about it. But at the same time, I was the only person in the store both times, so I don't think it would have been difficult to give me a little extra time. She also knew she was closing in 4 months, so maybe customer service wasn't top priority either. In any case, I found my perfect dress, and since they were closing, I was able to buy the sample for SUPER cheap. And I love it, so that's all I could really ask for.
