I would love to chat to some Long Island Brides about reception sites, hair, make-up and vendor recommendations etc. There must be some more of us out there?? Reveal yoursleves...... :)
Yey there is two of us!!! I am newly engaged and although I have been in the area (East Meadow) off and on for a while I dont know it that well as my home town is in Jolly Olde England. We have just had our meeting with the priest so we know our church now. But thats it-I know of nothing else. Have to start looking at reception sites very soon as we have a tight schedule. We are hoping for next summer. Will need advice nearer the time RE: hairdresses and florists etc. Actually could do with a recommended hairdresser at the moment. My fiance goes to a barber so he's no help unless I want a short back and sides.....
Anyone still checking this thread? I grew up on LI, currently live in Brooklyn, and am getting married on LI in May. I'm another Land's End bride! So far they have been WONDERFUL to work with.
i made the mistke of singning up for LIweddings, and I get TONS of emails and even PHONE CALLS! Don;t give them your real number if you want to avoid being harrassed.
I was a LI bride in March! =) Was married at the Fox Hollow, used Pastor April as Officiant, used Sachiko for Hair/Makeup, Sissi Chan for BM's Hair, Used Designs by Rose as my florist, Dynasty Weddings for my DJ/MC services....think I may have covered it all...
I'm getting married at The Carltun in Eisenhower Park in November 2008! I am using Creative Compositions for photography and videography, Richie Hart for DJ/music, and Pedastals for flowers.
I grew up in Great Neck (Nassau County) and currently live in Bayside (Queens) so feel free to ask questions if I can help!!
I grew up in LI and am getting married at East Wind in May, but am currently living in the city so I could use some recommendations too if anyone has?! I am looking for an inexpensive florist and limo company, and a great photographer/videographer if you have any recommendations! thanks! :)
Hi! I'm a long island bride! I'm getting married in August of 2009 at Harbor Links. Still chugging along with the planning. FYI...for those of you who are just starting I would highly suggest going to bridal showcases. Good way to have all the vendors in one place, plus they provide some sort of discount when signing with them that day. I know the following shows are coming up. I'm planning to go and hope to see you there!
Hi I am a long Island bride tooo! Just booked with Westbury manor: Sep 27 2009!!!
I am just wondering how do you decide the color scheme for your wedding... I loved the combination of dark plum purple and Gold for an end of summer/ begining of fall wedding but the interior of my reception room is: Burgendy color wood wall and then sage green carpet... Does it sounds alright with gold and plum purple? Here is the website: http://www.westburymanor.com/ Pls help!
They have a bridal showcase for booked couple only on the 29th of October 08.
