African American Weddings

Here is the run down.....

Alright so here it goes....we've pushed the wedding back for another year (September 2014). we pushed it because we want what we want! i dont want to have to depended on anyone else helping is with ANYTHING! I feel like if i want to pull up in rose Royce that cost $350an hour  then so be it! Id rather wait and save to get what i want then do it and be half stepping.....

    The color as of right now is a romantic pick, coral and ivory. I found a venue that i love ,its in a small town surrounded my little boutiques, i can have ceremony and reception in the same place.I plan to have a cocktail hour with wait staff, a plated dinner and open bar. Im really big on center pieces they must be off the chain!! i was thinking of having a brooch bouquet. I am really considering the rose Royce thing too! I must have  videography and an awesome photographer.. In Response to <a href="http://forums.theknot.com/Sites/theknot/Pages/Main.aspx/cultural-wedding-boards_african-american-weddings_here-is-the-run-down?plckFindPostKey=Cat:Cultural Wedding BoardsForum:400Discussion:ade0424c-174a-4990-993b-0507b92af182Post:26c13d3d-f155-4a09-bd0b-78773681e1d8">Re: Here is the run down.....</a>:

    Thanks for writing this. I am struggling with should FI and I push it back until April 2014 instead of 2013. I just want the wedding to be just right without sacrificing having people there or the right environment. Why is this so hard?

  • IMO i feel as though a bride should have EVERYTHING her heart desires, and she shouldnt have to settle.....so with that being said if you cant have the wedding of your dreams, why half step?......best of luck 2 u!
