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!!!

We are using Duet and they offer a lot of the money that you pay. It is well worth it and they work with you with prices a lot because they want your business.

Is this the most expensive package? I'm comparing it to something I already have.. edited for spelling
That was the quote that included everything: Albums, Video, Engagement Shoot, etc...

I have no idea... My Godmother is stylist at JCPENNY'S but she won't be doing my hair due to the fact that she's going to be too busy getting ready for the wedding. I have the style that I want....its a matter of finding someone talented enough to pull it off.

Hi Ladies! I know a really good hair stylist but she is in Suffolk County and she does really good hair. She's done a lot of hair shows for her salon and stuff. If you FM i can give you the name and number to her salon. I'm not using her because my steady stylist is doing my hair but she is doing some of my bridesmaids too.
