La Belle Weddings

We rented Chiavari chairs for our wedding from La Belle. They were beautiful. They arrived on time and the vendor was a pleasure to work with! Great vendor to do business with!

La Belle Weddings saved my life! Jennifer and Tonya (the owners) are extremely helpful and genuinely care about their patrons. They are responsive, professional, and passionate about their line of work. They gave me genuine and thoughtful advice, as well as provided me with prompt service. I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for wedding advice, invitations, favors, cakes, chair rentals, etc. They were truly wonderful to work with and I will definitely be sending in my friends when they go to get married.

It was nice to have someone who was not only doing their job wonderfully, but was watching out for taking care of the bride and the groom. I was very pleased with La Belle Weddings and would recommend them to anyone

I love La Belle's. They are always a delight and very helpful. If they do not have what you are looking for, they will help you find it. One of the best vendors we worked with!

This store is run by two sisters who have fun with what they do and are genuinely excited for the brides who stop in. I purchased some of my wedding party gifts there (engraved cufflinks, engraved flasks, engraved compacts) and had a blast picking out my items and chatting with them. I also purchased my bridesmaid shower invitations from there, as well as my "something blue" (a pair of Mary Green white silk panties with blue lace trim and "Something Blue" embroidered in blue across the front. Cool!). They seemed to have quite a few unusual, really cute items that I hadn't seen anywhere else during my wedding shopping.

They were very helpful in all my wedding needs. The first few time I was in the store I wasn't really helped but once someone starting talking to me I learned things about weddings I never knew and I've been planning my wedding since I was little girl.

FLOWERS:I ordered a "Calla Lilly Lover" package for $650 through La Belle weddings and it was a great deal! It included bridesmaid bouquets (4), boutonnieres (5), my bouquet and a throw bouquet, boutonnieres and corsages for the parents and grandparents, an alter arrangement and pew bows. She was very flexible in changing out certain pieces for others and even in exchanging certain flowers for others. I didn't want pew bows so she included an extra bag of petals for my flower girl for example.My biggest problem was that the flowers were not the color I had originally wanted- we discussed raspberry colored calla lilies which she told me wouldn't be a problem. The day of, when we picked them up, the calla lilies were not raspberry colored at all but more of a coral color. I was disappointed as they did not match the bridesmaids at all. I initially figured the flowers simply hadn't arrived in the color I had seen in a picture, but then later discovered the callas had actually been spray painted- you could see a few drips of colors, and some of it peeled off when I dried the flowers. That was no issue for me as the painting was very well done (it took me a long time to realize it had been done), except that she could have gotten a closer color to spray paint with especially considering she had a swatch of the bridesmaids dress color. She also was supposed to include raspberry colored rose petals for the flower girl, but they arrived in white.Overall though the quality was very good. Most people loved the bouquets (of course as the bride you notice mistakes that no one else does). She also did an alter arrangement that was beautiful. She has a very artistic eye as far as placement of flowers and overall design. The value was great and it was so simple to talk with her and decide on a package that was just right. If you go with La Belle weddings my only suggestion would be to be sure you confirm what you want if you are going with something slightly out of the normal.CAKE:As with the flowers, the cake was a very good price, Jennifer was very easy to work with, and the workmanship was beautiful, but I didn't get exactly what I wanted. I got the feeling both sisters were somewhat new to the business. In the case of the cake there were several things she said she wouldn't know how to do that another cake decorator I talked to said would be easy, a gum paste cake topper of our initials, for example. I did appreciate her honesty though.The cake itself was beautiful, though it wasn't exactly what I had wanted (again, as the bride you expect perfection). She had a picture of what I wanted, which included dots along the bottom (instead she used ribbon) and several suspended thin ribbons towards the top of each layer (instead she used one thick ribbon). The color was perfect however, and had I not known exactly what I wanted, the cake would have been very nice. The fondant was a little bumpy in places, but the overall look was fine. She also did a nice groom's cake that was a golf green with a sand trap made of brown sugar. She did white chocolate golf balls and cute green grass. The overall look was nice, but again I thought we had discussed it looking more like an entire golf hole (curvy with hills and valleys and a hole at one end) and not a square golf themed cake.The thing that really bugged me was the cake topper. It was partially my fault as I didn't realize until the last minute that I had forgotten a cake topper, but I called Jennifer the night before the wedding to ask about the gum paste initials. She said she couldn't do it, but that she would see if there were any leftover flowers and would use those as a topper. She told me that she would only call me if she didn't have enough flowers for a topper. Well, I did not receive any calls from her so assumed everything was fine, but when I arrived at my reception I discovered that my cake had no topper! I assume she didn't want to stress me out any more on my big day, but had I known I could have easily sent someone out to Wal-Mart to find something that would work. This dissapointed me more than anything else.I paid a total of $550 for the wedding cake to feed 100 (fondant was not extra!!) and for a groom's cake to feed 25. The price seemed very reasonable compared to other bakers I talked with. The overall work was very nice, but be careful about asking for/expecting too much.
