bridesmaid dresses

I have been thinking a lot about wedding colors lately, and I always thought that two colors were a must. We love pink and navy, then there is red and black….yellow and grey…..teal and silver…..purple and green…..etc. I got so hung up on what everything should look like and tradition ….I feel as though I need to focus more on what I want. Why two colors? Why not three or four? Or how about one and have monochrome dresses? Instead of giving colors names, give color groups. Like “sorbet/pastel/spring” type colors that are light and airy. I think they are beautiful together:

soft and light! if course you could go with bolder colors, I saw a wedding where they used bright colors and had their wedding at the beach and somehow they matched perfectly! In the fall you could have rustic colors like burgundy and golds.

Then there is winter weddings. Part of of me LOVES the idea of a winter wedding, to me a winter wedding you be lavish and bold. Emeralds, sapphires, rubies…. I always thought that if I had a winter wedding I would make it as though we were old school Russian royalty with lots of fur and jewels….just over the top! beauuuuutifulllll…

decisions…decisions…..

helllllloooo gorgeous bloggers!

Long time no write, I know! It has been hectic this last week and I have finally had an opportunity to sit down and just…breathe…ahhh…. Unfortunately what has kept me busy isn’t anything fun to do with the wedding, in fact I haven’t had time to think of the wedding until today. I reminded myself of my first bridal show coming up in September and even though it seems a long way away, with the way time has been going it won’t be that far!

anywho…. I think it is bridesmaid dress day and I have a few favorites to share!

These are my latest favorites….from the riffles to the bows…obsessed! Unfortunately that type of material is not nice for any curves or imperfections so my bridesmaids may not be too happy with me if I chose these!

My lovely sister found this one, and up until I saw the previous dress this was my favorite. I love the floral detail and the mixture of lace and chiffon ….a style that I hope mimics the feeling of my own dream dress. It is beautiful and doesn’t look like the normal bridesmaid dress.

Here are a few other favorites, and I have tried to indicate where each dress is found somewhere in the picture. For the most part they are Allure, Bari Jay, and Mori Lee.

enjoy!
