BEAUTIFUL Pics!! Thanks so much for sharing! What color were your BM dresses? Who makes them? I love that color but haven't seen any a lot of BM dresses in that color. Thanks

Olga: Hope you feel better

Re: Greek Brides??

Thank you marcela! I talked to Zavola - he seemed really cool - if you can FM me prices so I know. Also, I talked to the banquet managers at Cavo and they seemed really flexible with everything. I'll let you all know when I meet with them - probably next week some time.

Re: Greek Brides??

I love the tablecloth - and that color is awesome - I haven't seen it anywhere else!

Re: Greek Brides??

Are you or did any of you girls do wedding programs describing the Greek ORthodox Wedding ceremony. I am def. going to be doing them and I have a lot of free time on my hands now and I am thinking of doing them but I don't know - is it tooo early?????? It would def. be one thing off my list.Any suggestions?

Re: Greek Brides??

everyone but like 5 people at our wedding will be Greek. I doubt I will do anything because a)work takes up 2 much time b) they all know what's going on anyway

Edited: Junebride - what do you do? Are you still in school or do you work? I think Iasked you this already

Re: Greek Brides??

Demetra: Thank you so much! I love blue also

Angela: Yes I'm doing a program b/c I'm Catholic and a lot of my guests are also. I want them to understand what is going on. I have a GO Program that I got from a weddingchannel.com bride. If you want FM me your email address and I'll email it to you. It's in a Word format

Re: Greek Brides??

Hey - I forgot that I do have a Greek Program somewhere here. If you need it, let me know and I'll scan it and send it

Re: Greek Brides??

Olga - I am a kindergarten teacher and I have summer break coming up. I will probably do the programs over the summer while I am free. Could you please email me the copy of the program you have. THanks. I will FM you my email address.

Re: Greek Brides??

my cousin has it right now but I will def. have it soon - she came over and got it this weekend without telling me !!!

Re: Greek Brides??

Demetra: Beautiful pictures. You look amazing.

Junebride: I did programs. I'm sure I still have the copy on my home computer. I'll check and let you know. I can email it to you.

Olga: I hope you feel better.

Re: Greek Brides??

I am SO happy I found this!

Hi girls! I am new to the boards and looking for help. A little on me...I got engaged on 12/14/02 and we are getting married on 5/15/04. The church is Archangel Michael in Roslyn at the Woodbury Country Club. Brian (my fiance) is Italian, and he will be converting. It's a long story, but he was not baptized as a baby so we figured since my whole family's Greek and I was raised in the Orthodox church, rather than introduce a new religion he'd convert.

Brian was away on vacation for 2 weeks, so this past weekend my mom and I did a lot of running around--preliminary work--while he was gone. We packed in alot this past weekend. I tried on some gowns for the first time, it was so much fun. I can't wait to go again. I really like a Rena Koh dress I tried on at Adrienne's in Islip. I found that place only b/c we went to look at a photographer out there. Great couple, beautiful work the only thing is they are 100% digital and I just don't know how I feel about that. Anyway, do any of you have any advice/experience on Adrienne's? The place is lovely, just looking for some thoughts.

Next, photographers. UGH! As I said, I really LOVED this couple, but I'm not sure about all digital. I don't like digital to use for my own pics so I really don't think I can do it for our wedding. I personally know three girls who've used B rett M atthews and have heard about so many others who've used them as well. My brother and sil used Cassarino (they got married 7 yrs ago). I went to JoVon, it was okay. The woman I met with kept looking at someone who was behind the couch where my mom and I were sitting, so I found that very aggravating--she seemed so preoccupied with what was going on behind me...

For pics, we have a few requirements...
#1--negatives, that's just something I'm sticking to, I can't pay all of that money and not get them.
#2--I like the two photographer idea. One for the more traditional shots and one with the candid and photojournalistic shots.
#3--a photog who's done a greek wedding. with all of the symbolism during the ceremony and i really want someone who recognizes how important a lot of pics at the ceremony is.

The thought of a husband and wife team really appeals to me. I would like to find someone Brian and I are both comfortable with since we'll be spending so much time with him/her. Do you girls have any thoughts/suggestions on who to meet with? I feel as if photographers based in Nassau County know good spots for pics in Nassau better than someone who shoots primarily in Suffolk. Am I being ridiculous or do you girls agree? Should I stick with someone from Nassau--I live in Manhasset, the church is in Roslyn).

Thanks so much in advance for all of your help. From the posts I've read so far, you all sound wonderful. Congratulations and Best of Luck to you all!!!

Re: Greek Brides??

Hi beachbum....congrats and welcome to the boards. I used Cassarinos for my wedding. I did both the traditional and candid shots as well. I loved my photos but to be honest I was not happy with their service after the wedding. I can fm my complaints to you if you want. Many girls on this site recommend Wild Rose for photography. You might want to check them out.

I wish you all the best and happy planning.
