I must start this post with some sad news...my best friendster and bridesmaid H is moving across the country! *tear* But she's moving to be closer to her parents and her sister, so I can't help but be glad for her since I know how much she misses them. Anyhoo, she is leaving at the end of December, which is pushing my butt into gear for picking out bridesmaid dresses. Since I only have 4 girls, and all of them are local (for now), I really want to get everyone together to try them on and help me decide. Actually, for them to decide, not me. I have ideas on color and style, but ultimately I want them to be happy with the dress, and not go broke buying it.
So what am I looking for?
Preference #1: Knee-length or shorter
Preference #2: Light purple color (lavender, lilac, wisteria, whatever you call it)

| Wisteria - David's Bridal |
Yep, that's it, really! One thing I did not include is that I would love to find dresses in a pickup style, since my bridey gown is that style. But most of the dresses I've seen with pickups are more expensive, and honestly it isn't THAT important. Here are a few I've seen online that I'm feeling good about:

| If I could pick a dress, it would be this final sale one at David's Bridal, which unfortunately is only available in a few sizes, none of which any of my BM's could wear :( |
 |
| Strapless Chiffon with layers, looks so comfy! - David's Bridal |
 |
| Totally a wear-it-again style (at least I think so!) - Alfred Angelo |
 |
| Cute and simple - Alfred Angelo |
Happy planning!

I love that color, and I ADORE that third Alfred Angelo dress: I'd totally wear it again! I actually ended up picking my bridesmaid's dresses for them (since we're going for such a specific vision), although they were custom-made so they looked best on their body type, and they were the princess they liked most (unless they had no input there!).
ReplyDeleteThat strapless chiffon dress is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy sister-in-law and best friend/MOH both fell in love with the same style on our field drip to the bridal store, and my long-distance bridesmaid approved of it via online photo-swapping.
