Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)

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.

I keep telling myself that we're ahead of the game and that we still have lots done, but then I start making a list of what needs to be done and major stress sets in.

The invite glitch wasn't so bad. The first proof just had a couple of typo's - minor stuff, but I tend to be a perfectionist so even though the place tried to tell me I didn't need to see another proof, I insisted upon it and I'm glad I did otherwise I would have been worrying about that.

We booked our limo with Camelot. Joe gave us a great price (we checked out two other companies first). We just got the one Lincoln Navigator. I let FH pick the car, because it's one of those things I don't really care about.

Hopefully, this will be a productive weekend! We're going house hunting again on Saturday and I am trying to get FH to go wedding band shopping on Sunday.

Any recommendations on where to go for wedding bands?

I got my bands at Helzberg Diamonds at Roosevelt Field. It was a total lark, we were actually looking for FH(who still hasn't picked one). I have a 3 stone engagement ring that has a high setting and was having a hard time finding something that looked right. We were going to go back to where FH had the ring made. But while I was in Helzberg, they showed me these beautiful contoured diamond bands that fit perfectly with mine!

The only thing I have done is contact some photographers via email..I hate the phone call thing. Plus we live in Queens so unless the prices is near our range it does not make sense to make an appt with them.

If it is a little above we would try to nego...I need more $$$

Hope you ladies have a wonderful weekend

Vanessa- where in queens are you? I am in Queens (Glendale) and we got our Photographer at Ariana Studios at the Wedding Plaza on jericho Turnpike. They were very reasonable

I agree with Ariana.

Hi Ladies! My shower was yesterday and it was beautiful! My mother did a phenomenal job. It was a tea party done by Lady Anne's Vintage Tea Room, which is closed ( very long story short...she lossed her lease after my mother had booked, Lady Anne ended up doing it in a place 2 doors down from where her location was, she honored what she and my mother had agreed upon, and she did a fantastic job! Good news is she will have a new location). I recieved so many wonderful gifts. I will post pics..right now my computer is not cooperating!

Re: Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)

Okay..my hunt now is for a place to be married..we don't want to get married at the hall because we want to be at CH and we would have to take pics at that time if we got married there. Does anyone know what the donation for churchs are?

Also, does anyone know of a church that will marry interfaith...I am lutheran and FH is catholic but he is divorced so we can't get married in Catholic church.

Thanks ladies

Definitely try unitarian. Also I know CW Post has a chapel. I don't know what the 'donations' are for those though.

I don't go to church often (hardly ever) so I don't have a regular church..I guess I should go to one. How much is the donation at most churchs?
