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

I know that i am way late on this but i will still introduce my self....Hello everyone, my name is Lowania

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

Hi and welcome - How is everyone doing with the planning?

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

welcome

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

My planning is going well...My cousin is doing my makeup (she used to be a makeup artist), and i as far as my hair is concerned, i have this Jamacian woman that i've been going to for years... Even though i've moved to staten island and she's all the way in brooklyn...I still take the 2 hour trip to get my hair done...thats how good she is. I gotta say, its a big relief that this thread is here. I was beginning to think i was the only AA bride on liweddings.com lol

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

can anyone recommend a good bus rental company? All my guest are coming out of the 5 boroughs and NJ, and our RH and church is way out it LI, so i need a way to transport my guests that do not have cars. Any suggestions??

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

I am definately having 'black/rum cake'. I am Guyanese and my family would have it no other way. For the groom's cake, i am surprising my FH with a replica of his favorite car and that cake will be regular American cake.

Did you beat me with sending her info about EBP?? I feel like I am a spokesperson

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

Here is a pic of the car that my FH's cake will be modeled after...It's a Ford GT.

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

Quick question to all you ladies....where are your FH renting their tux from? I just came back from the Men's Warehouse, but i am still shopping around....

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

We are using Men's Wearhouse since all of our GM are out of town. It's more convenient for them.

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

I agree, men's warehouse is convient and not as expensive as i thought....

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

do you have to pay for a makeup/hair trial??

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

For make up I am using a girl from Mary Kay and it was free if I booked her. She is in Westbury. For hair I am using a girl my sister recommended. She is in Wyandanch. Her hair trail is just the cost of the weave and hair style, the day of is just $40.

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

We are using After Hours because they are nationwide

I paid for my trials.

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

I am using Dante's (Zeller's), very close to my house.

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

We used a place were we live called

Tristan's Limousine & Tuxedo Services

1402 Atlantic Avenue
Brooklyn, New York 11216
718 453 7500

they were excellent!

Also got my car and limo from them.
