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...

Hi Ladies,
I have a problem and hope you ladies can help me. My elbow is really dark what can I do to make it look the same color of the rest of my skin for the big day. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Have you thought about airbrush makeup?

No I never thought of that. My question with that is
would that rub off?

I didn't use airbrush make up but lots of LIW brides have and they've said it doesn't rub off. I recall seeing pictures of an AA bride who used makeup to cover either her tatoo or a birthmark. I think Ms. Jade did it. If you're having a make up trial give it a try.

My cousin has an airbrush machine for the spray tan and her tan does not rub off.

Let me ask around - I know people who sing in small Christian groups in Long Island. I will keep you posted

Are there any ladies getting married or that have gotten married in July or August? Are you wearing your hair down? Did you wear your hair down? I would love to wear my hair down but I am wondering if it will be to hot.

I was married in August and I wore my hair up because I was concerned about the heat - But depeneding on your style and your hair texture (also if you are using a weave) could determine what to do

Hi Ladies,

Any recommendations on where to get a really good weave. I have never had one before but I think I may need one for the hair style I want. Any thoughts?

I don't know where your live but in Uniondale there is a place called styles 2000 that do every kind of weave. I don't know if I'm going to use them for my weddingBut i have used them 100 times and they do a really good job. I have a hair trial with mia next month. Some of the ladies from here recommended her.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread
