I won a gift certificate to Camelot Limos at the 09 Shower so I'll be checking them out soon. You're using them right? What kind of deposit do they require? and I'm meeting with Flower Michelle and another Vendor in LIC bc FMIL knows the owner.

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

Heloo Ladies!! It's been a long time I've been busy w/ the holidays and the I went to Chi Town to visit my sister for Xmas So I haven't been on in a while. I did however get one more thing accomplished for the wedding. all of my girls have ordered their BM Dresses, and guess what since they were being discontinued the girls ended up getting them for $40. I was so happy for them.

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

It also turns out that my father is going to pay for my photography/videography, invites, limos, and flowers. I am so psyched b/c that takes a big burden off of our expenses. We have so much going on right now in our lives and we have a guest list of 200 so everything was adding up. I'm so happy. I have also just made a major image change. I have been Blonde since 2000 and have decided to give my hair a break from noe until the wedding so my hair is currently a soft black. I will post some pics later tonigh when I get home.

Oh thats great!! They require check, money order or cash and you have to bring your credit card so in case the cars get damaged you get charged. They do this because of proms so i guess they are just scared now.I'm meeting with Designs by Rose tomorrow and have an appt with Verbena in the middle of January.

Nice, good luck with all your appts. I hate having to leave my cc# info. Oh well! And don't rush with ordering your dress you still have time. I love love my wedding gown but I am having a difficult time finding a seamstress who will make one little change to the neckline of my gown. Had I known this earlier, even though I absolutley love my dress, I may have kept looking for a gown that had the kind of neckline I want. Know any good seamstress? lol

Yeah. It was so hard for me to do it, but FH was like just do it and let it be until the wedding since I'm constantly dying it evry 6-8 weeks. So they did a soft black which he said will get lighter naturally as I wash it, instead of putting Jet Black b/c then it'll be harder for me to change it back. Whose knows what I'm going to do for the wedding black or blonde. We shall see when the time comes.

Yeah, I was really surprised when my mother told me. She said I told your father he has to pay for the flowers, phot/video, limos, and invites. And the whole time I'm thinking he must not know what he's getting himself into considering that he lives in Panama I thought he might forget how expensive things are on this side of the counrty but my mother told me that he is fully aware of the prices and is agreeing to help out. Trust me when I say I am so happy b/c the hall alone was coming out to be alot w/ our guest list being so big.

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

At least you did a soft black that will turn lighter because forget it when you do the jet black it's so hard to get rid of it. The hall alone can be alot since you have alot of ppl but thankfully you got some help which is great.

Re: Official Latina Brides Thread

I see you booked w/ Ultimate Sounds DJ. I was referred to them and I want gto make an appointment. How are they? Did you hear them play? I have a big party crowd and need some really good music especially when it comes down to spanish music. I am very big on Salsa and I need them to play all of the salsa hits and more. And then I have FH who is Jamaican, so their reggae needs to be on point. If you don't mind me asking what package did u get and how much did are u paying? You can FM me.

I met with Frank the owner and he was great very informative. He showed me a video of different dj's he has and i liked Rafael the most. He's PR but plays all types of music. He used to be in the club scene and he gets everyone hyped to dance. I haven't gone to hear him in person yet but his video was really good and the MC's are really good also. You got FM.
