I enjoy speaking to all the ladies on LIW, but just want to see what are some of the African American brides are doing for their weddings. Let's talk about what music we want, what traditions are we incorporating into our ceremonies, reception, just anything!!! Looking forward to hearing from all of you ladies. It's been hard finding infomation talored for African American brides so let's get this going!!!

How many of us are getting married at the RH? The reason I am asking is because I have too many in my family who are different religions and My family is all about the drama so I am getting married at the RH just so I don't have to listen and have the service I want.

iam much less stress and iam saying money no limos

I agree, plus it's all in one location.

yea so much better for me

What's next on your list.

This is a great list!

I was thinking of using Jennifer Hudson's song for our 1st dance.

Anything you'd recommend for walking into the church and leaving the church?



My BP Party is walking into The Wedding Song by CeCe Winans and I'm walking in to I Need You by Shekinah Glory.

I love Canon in D if you just want an instrumental.

I want to walk in to 'angel eyes' by robin thicke and our first song is 'fortunate' by maxwell. He is my all time favorite artist and i had to incorporate him into my wedding. Another favorite of mine is 'you ' by Jesse Powell.

We are getting married at the RH. Our families are different religions so it was just easier. Also cuts the cost of limos

Love those song, good choice.

As for getting married at the RH, boy was that a topics I never want to hear again. So I understand I am doing the same thing. The good news is all the things I like for my ceremony can be done at the RH. E.g. current music through out the whole ceremony on string will sound great and no one can say they didn't like it because they couldn't hear the words.

Hi guys!

So glad I found this thread!!!

Getting married next September in Huntington LI and already beginning to freak out about the details.

One of my biggest concern is Hair and Make-up.

I read the Bridalgal.com reviews on this thread and it definitely seems like an option but it is pricey. If I do my entire bridal party that's over $2000! Yikes.

Anyone know of any good hair people that are familiar with not relaxed African American hair?

Best,
Somi
