Yesterday I attended a Bridal Brunch hosted by BlackBride.com - the premier online source for women of color. The Akwaaba Mansion in Brooklyn opened its doors to the Harlem Renaissance inspired event that served as an intimate and informative look at everything that’s involved with planning a wedding. Catered by Tom Cookery, ladies (and gentleman) were welcomed into with jazz age music from Margi and the Dapper Dots. While sipping on mimosas, sponsored by Moreno, brides and bridesmaids had an opportunity to have their questions answered by a panel of wedding experts, moderated by Essence Magazine Editor, Charreah Jackson.
