Hello Ladies,

I am so confused on what to give as favors.

I was thinking about the bottle of wines, red and white with personalized labels or the LOVE glass coasters and the bottle stoppers. Any ideas, please help, your feedback is greatly appreciated.

FH and I are making donations to a diabetes cause, since both of our parents are diabetic. we will make copies of the certificate and put them on each tables for our guests. with a story to explain the meaning of the favor and what it means to us and our family.

---

I actually may do wine bottles and a donation to an organization as favors. We would choose a youth organization that I work for.

Okay ladies NEW TOPIC: Who is your florist and why did you select them? Can the 07' and 08' girls who have already booked their florist post pics of the centerpieces they are doing. Most of us 09' girls are going to start meeting with these types of vendors in late 07'.

I will probably use silk flowers. My FH is very allergic to real.

UM.

Good one. I only went to one salon since I knew what designer I wanted.

I am getting my dress from bridal reflections in Carle Place. With the amount of bad reviews I have seen on here, I expected to go in armed.

Can I tell you girls, I have had some of the best customer service there.

I dont like the way Lestans is so junky and not attentive.

MsMichel highly recommends Valentina in BK.

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***

I live near Lestan and will not go there. I went there for my prom dress and had to wait a long time. Yes it too small, unorganized, and dresses look dirty. I thought they were prejudice. I went there in 98 maybe they have changed but I will not be going there for anything and I mean anything

Re: ***Official African American Brides Thread***

Hello Ladies, Im Lexi, I wondered are most of these vendors were located only in LI?
