I just thought I would start a new Thread being that our other one is so long in pages.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread
Hey Ladies, I am to have you all to chat with. I know i'm not a regular but is definately fun to join in some of the chats on LIW. I have been extremely stressed trying to plan my wedding and most times I feel like i'm all alone. I don't really have a circle of friends interested in helping and as many of you might know or feel FH don't necessarily care about all the details just want to show up. That being said I need your help. Im still in the process of choosing the following : flourist ( so far I have visited Pedestals (they were a little over my budget) and have called designs by rose (they don't have my date), Photographer, DJ and Limo.....yeah that's pretty much every thing. I am so indecisive. IAM SOOO TRESSED
Can you recommend someone. I would really appreciate it
And Am I far behind in this wedding planning thing...I check out a few peoples pages and it seems every one has everything booked already

Re: Official African American Brides Thread
I used Bella flowers because she was the only vender who didn't laugh at my budget. Im still struggling with a DJ myself but so far smoothdjrus had the best package. 1250 For 2 dancers, dj, mc,dj assistant , basic lighting, and day of planner. cant beat that but I have not had the time to meet the dj yet.

Re: Official African American Brides Thread
Hi... I am also a wedding newbie who doesn't post often..but I am soooo glad there is a thread like this. For those having trouble with finding a DJ, I am using Finer Touch Entertainment. Harold Johnson Jr. is the best there is. He was recommended to me by my best friend who saw him and his team in action at an Ebony Wedding Expo. He is very helpful, attentive, reasonable (he really works with your budget), and truly passionate about making your wedding the most memorable day!!! I HIGHLY recommend him! You can check out his demo on his site: finertouchent.com
As far as flowers I am using pedestals. They saw my vision and are helping me make it a reality. My contact person is Vito Russo. I like him because he only does one wedding a day so the job will be done perfectly!
I'll try to help you guys as much as I can.... the more I learn the more I want to share!!
Good luck with everything!

For the 1st dance, FH wants Unchained Melodies by The Righteous Brothers. I'm not sure I know what song I want to enter the church to.
