2009 Brides roll call/support thread

Tried on my dress, LOVE IT, will be ordering it next week.

Put the deposit down at the resort where we're getting married - super excited.

Now I have to figure out the official invites, who's going to be my attendant (don't know who all is coming yet and my BFF has to take her son back to school around the same time), and my jewelry. Already picked out my shoes, and FH's suit and shoes have been selected.
 
I don't know why I haven't been posting in here :perplexed My wedding is in 20 days and it still hasn't really dawned on me yet. It just doesn't seem real. I feel like I've taken care of everything, but there are little details I should be taking care of this Memorial Day weekend, instead I've been lounging around.

I am starting to get excited though :spinning:
 
I'm really picking up steam with my wedding stuff. I've got the site, catering, florist, photographer, hairstylist...The only major vendor I need is the videographer.

Next I need to order my dress and settle on the bridesmaids dresses. I know which dress I love, but I just have to order it. I'm going to go with one of those online dressmakers from China that make exact replicas of designer dresses. I was nervous about it at first, but I've seen pics from actual weddings and they are gorgeous! I am still trying to get over the sticker shock of the dresses in the bridal shops.

I like 1 & 5 :grin::yep:



Alright I've kept this far too long to myself. I just got engaged last month:grin:. Right now he's is still fulfilling the traditional rites (I'm Nigerian).

No date yet but I'm pretty sure it will be sometime after Christmas and before the new year.

We are having two weddings the traditional and church wedding around the same time.

I haven't thought about colors yet but I'm leaning towards peach:grin:

When is the big date? June 6th, 2009
Where (city, state) are you getting married? Los Angeles, CA
What have you done so far? Reserved the church and started the reservations for the honeymoon. We're going to St. Thomas in the Virgin Islands.
Theme? "A Celebration of Black Love"
Colors? I keep changing my mind. At first I chose Tiffany blue and brown, but its too popular IMO. I may change it to pink and brown.


*disclaimer* I am soooo close to just running off to Vegas or the courthouse. Wedding planning is stressful. sigh. :wallbash:

HAPPY WEDDING DAY!!! :grin: :grin: :grin: :grin:

Please update on how your day went!!!! :yep: :yep: :yep:
 
hey ladiea jus doing a quick check in from my celly. my wedding was nice but hectic. will have pics soon. a few sneek peeks r available on facebook....
 
RANT!!!

WHY are there NO magazines or books devoted to black women's wedding hairstyles???? :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash: And there are precious little pictures online of black wedding hairstyles.

I have a hair trial coming up in September and I am worried it is going to be hit or miss. I like the updo style with a swoop bang in the front and curls on the top but I have so few examples on black hair to work with. I also recently saw a pic of a style that I hated on all of the white models, but looked like an absolute dream on the black model.

I wish I had more examples!!! :wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash::wallbash:
 
I am sooooo late. I got married May 2nd of this year. I had a small beach wedding on Sand Key Beach in Clearwater, Florida. - used an all inclusive beach wedding company. This idea is perfect for the bride that wants a beautiful,romantic seaside ceremony, but don't want the stress that comes with a wedding. All I had to do was show up. They did everything, including set up, photography, videography, and they even set up a steel drum band that played the processional and recessional music. I highly recommend Weddings on a whim. My advice is just try to enjoy every second of the day it goes by sooooooo fast. Also if you do a beach ceremony and you have the money try to have the ceremony take place on a private beach not a public beach! If anyone has questions or wants advice on having a beach wedding just ask.......I am like an unofficial expert. I will try to post some more pics of how the "aisle"and chairs were decorated...for those of you dabbaling with the thoguht of a destination beach wedding.

I personally think that destination weddings deserve its own sticky, because a dw is a whole nother animal from any other type of wedding.

My girlfriend got married in Negril. It was a nice ceremony. I would make a CD for the reception in case they don't have the music.
