Official 30+ Brides (previously 40+ thread)

Original post by Future Mrs H

Thread views: 71,981

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 Know Sandra Baldini will come for just the bride- but she is booked for my day



Thanks..I will probably be contacting her



Any luck with a makeup person yet?

I've won The Bridal Touch by Elena for day of wedding for hair and she does make-up. She is a vendor on LIW. I haven't called her for my trial but I was thinking of using her for both. I have also met her at LIW bridal showcase. She was very nice and willing to do what I wanted and I am a hard person to please. Check her out.



Hi Renay! That is great that you won Elena for your wedding! She was the one who was going to do my hair. I loved her, she is so sweet!

FH has informed me that he doesnt want to do the cake cutting part. No special song- no feeding each other. Just cut the cake and take a few pics. What do you guys think of that?

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

I would be somewhat disappointed in that. But....I would not make a big issue of it if he does not want to do it.

FH sounds a lot like my FH - very low keyed!

C, it's okay, My FH doesn't care about the cut cutting at all. All he said was no hitting each other in the face with the cake. So you are not alone.

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

Thanks for asking!
Well...first off I am having a blast planning this wedding. Since it's my second, and I have a very low-keyed FH and...a low budget - It's hard to have to say 'no' to such beautiful things.

Anyway, I am getting married at the Swan Club, ceremony will take place there.
My daughter is my MOH & one of my FH's daughter is a bridesmaid.
I have a very, very good friend who is my 'special attendant' Michael, my Fh did not want a big bridalparty so, I could not ask her to be a bridemaid -so, since she has never been lucky in life to find a true love - she wants to help me out in all aspects of the planning.
She went with me to Bridal shows, was there for my make-up trial, constant shopping etc.
So, for her - I am going to get her an embroidery hoodie saying 'special attendant' with a corsage for the wedding. She is also staying with me the night before at the hotel to drive me to the SC

My planning is at the stage now that I am waiting for everything to happen! My dress is in, I am going for my 1st fitting in 10 days (did not lose the 20lbs that I promised myself I would)
my daughter's dress is in, I am buying jars for the candy buffet - We ordered our rings, now we just have to pick them up.
Going to Pedestals sometime in April to change my order & see sample pieces.

Rev. Deb will be performing the ceremony
For the music my song that I want to walk down the isle is 'This magic moment' by Jay Black. Old school, but hey.....I'm an oldie myself!!!

We have the HM booked - 1 week in Disney & 1 week on a cruise to the Caribbean!

I'm sure I'm leaving out so much but..I will jump back on with more things I have done.

Oh, I have not gone to a g2g yet - but would love to!

I think your make-up trail was very good. She did a great job. Are you good to keep that look are go darker? I am only asking because something you should have two looks.

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

I was just thinking of keeping that look. She did a really good job - if I did not have to wear the glasses, then maybe I would have gone for a second look!
