**BROOKLYN BRIDES**

I feel like I am the only one representing the BK!!! If there are any other brides out there please speak up so I know who to ask about local vendors etc. I'm thinking about moving to LI just to fit in the forum... jk jk*


TIA

lol, I posted something like this last week. There are a few of us on here.

Here are some vendors that others have told me about and that I've checked out.

Divine Studio's for photo/video (Stephen is very nice)

True Love Weddings for photo/video (met them at an expo last night, they do very nice work)

Flowers by Emil (heard he does great work)

Julie's Flowers (works with your budget, but does what she wants not what you want; gave my friend a very nice tall centerpiece for only $60 a piece)

Double Diamond Limo's

Romantique Limo's

Don't go dress shopping at Michael Shane Bridal in Brooklyn, they have too many rules and it's a small store with not a lot of options.

me me me!!!! and a Russo's bride too (like you dont already know lol)!!

im a brooklyn bride!!

im actually looking for hair/makeup in brooklyn.. any suggestions?

I'm a Brooklyn girl, but getting married on LI. I have been in two weddings at the Riviera in BKLYN though, so I know some vendors.

Stay away from Lestans on Ralph Avenue. HORRIBLE.

For dress shopping = Valentina Bridal on New Utrecht (got my dress there, and LOVE them), Lotus Bridal on Avenue U (got a bridesmaid dress there; also love them).

Limos = Romantique or Double Diamond are both good.

Flowers = Marine Florists are very professional.

I may not be a bride, but if you have a question ask and if I can help I will because I have lived in Bensonhurst all my life (pretty long LOL)....just FM me.
Plus my older son had his reception at the Riviera Brooklyn and the younger one (in picture with me) had his reception at Russo's on the Bay too.

Lestans is horrendous!!!! I went there on Saturday with my mom and got scolded for touching the dresses meanwhile the dresses were filthy looking!!!!!!!!!!

I went to Valentina's on Saturday as well and found my dream dress- however it turns out it is my friend's wedding dress... very disappointing. Valentina is being very nice and trying to find me another amazing dress

How about photographers? I went to the showcase at Sirico's and met with Aldo. FH's cousin's album was displayed and it was beautiful. Please reccomend other photographers/videographer in the neighborhood who don't do cheeeeeesy photos.
