***Official African American Brides Thread***

Original post by PoeticJustice

Okay ladies, I love all of the LIW Girls, but I thought it was time that we have a thread dedicated to African American Brides, so that we could discuss wedding and non-wedding related issues that are significant and or relate to women of color. So to start the thread off, could everyone introduce themselves? I am Landra...

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

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.

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....

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....

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.

We are using After Hours because they are nationwide
