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 haven't posted on this thread in so long! I have 4 more months for planning and am SOOOO behind (work is so stressful right now that I just don't have any energy left). We gotten a lot of the big things out of the way: RH, dress, shoes, BM's dresses, DJ, Florist, Invitations.

I'm starting to panic because I still haven't booked a make-up/hair vendor. The wedding will take place at the Surf Club in New Rochelle. I need someone who can do my makeup and hair before our 11:30 am ceremony. Any suggestions? M * ! *A is already booked on my day unfortunately

Also - we are stuck about favors. May end up going with minature black cake with a little card about the history/significance of the cake. What do you think?

TIA

HAPPY PLANNING!!!!

I've always wondered what the significance of the black cake is, especially since my mom says we MUST!!! have one. Do you mind sharing?

I have to do the black cake as both sides of the family are Jamaican. So it's a must as a favor. That's a good idea by attaching a card for the history as I will have guests that will not know what this cake in a box is.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

Okay ladies, it's been days since someone had posted. How is the planning going?

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

I am on pause for this month as I am waiting to pick out BM dresses. Once I select a color, I will look at flowers.

How are you doing?

Re: Official African American Brides Thread

Well, I had to pause for a while because my FMIL is coming home on Sat from rehab and she is 79. On Sun is the AIDS walk to I will get back into this starting Mon.
