This thread was orignally started for the 40+ Brides but would love to invite all 30+ brides to join.
I love talking to all the brides out there but I would like to hear what us 'Older Brides' are doing to plan their wedding. I am finding that I am doing things a little different and would like to see what others are doing.
My name is Celia and 46 y/o bride.

Oh..so excited we booked at Westbury Manor. We went to look at a few more places on Saturday..2 we drove up and either he or I didn't like the outside then we went back to WM to see the bigger room (which is the medium size room) loved it but FH did not like that the bar was in the other room.
I am glad that is done..now on to Photographers then a break because we moved the wedding until 4-30-11 so we now have 2 years.

You could have joined when it was 40+. We had a few girls in their 30's that joined originally. I am glad you are with us now!!

Re: Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)
I booked with Ariana Studios at the Wedding Plaza. They had a package plan I booked that had Phot,o video, dj,limo,flowers, and FH tux. I still havent picked which photographer we are using. We had a sitting with one of them and did e-pics. I liked him but there is 1 more I would like to sit with and see what his work is like

We used Michael Rosengard (North Island Photography). He's amazing, photojournalistic and great tradtional pics too. Check out his website:

Re: Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)
Hi ladies.. I'm 31.. will be 32 when I walk down the aisle.
I am still very into the pomp and circumstance of planning the wedding-- and love some of the DIY ideas etc, but I do find myself chuckling at all of the energy that the 20 somethings have at times.
Things that I feel I would have done if I were planning a wedding in my 20's but I am not doing now are, having a large bridal party (only having siblings as MOH and BM), having an all out bachelorette party (probably not having one and if i do it will be something low key like a spa day), and definitly definitly definittly NO bo-k toss or garter shenanigans.. i may not have even done that in my 20's though-- i feel like it singles out the singles and as my friends are mostly in their 30's and still single-- umm I dont think they want to be singled out in that fashion. =)
At the end I think this just means to say that I cant wait to celebrate the big day but more so cant wait to just be married to my lobster!
Cant wait to share ideas with you girls!

Re: Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)
Today is my 31st Bday! Yippy!
I couldn't be any happier than I am right now! Im just where i want to be, about to continue on with my best friend and I'm doing it all at just the right age!! I know who i am, what i want and comforted knowing that I lived it up while I was still able to get ready and first go out at midnight! lol
It is really fun to read some of the younger girls posts but i think it's exciting for all of us!
