Bridesmaid's Dresses

Something they will wear again!

Thank you so much for all the great feedback on the invitations. I can't wait to show everyone the final results!

Now it's on to the bridesmaid's dresses. We've finally made a decision! I've always wanted to be pretty easy going when it came to bridesmaid's dresses. The most important thing for me is that all my girls be comfortable in their dress. And bonus points if they actually want to wear them again after the wedding!

Insert J. Crew. Oh how warm and fuzzy J. Crew makes me feel. I just received their new catalog last night and dog-eared just about every single page. So naturally I was extremely pleased when they came out with their line of wedding attire. Deciding would be the hard part.... or would it?

After going back and forth between two colors: Papaya (a shade of orange) and Sour Lemon (a shade of yellow) I finally decided on Sour Lemon. Yellow is my ALL TIME favorite color and surrounding myself with it on my wedding day will be a dream!

Once the color was picked I told the girls they could choose whichever style of dress they wanted as long as it was in Sour Lemon. And I was SO surprised and excited when each of my 5 bridesmaids picked a different style! They picked styles that perfectly compliment their personalities so I know they will all look FABULOUS!

You can see the styles they chose in the photos below or check out www.jcrew.com for more styles for your own wedding.

Now here's where you guys come in again. As fabulous as these dresses are we need to accessorize! So please share any ideas you have for shoes, jewelry, handbags or anything else! They can be funky or traditional but they must be FUN! I can't wait to see what ideas you guys come up with!

See you next week!

A colored shoe would be fun. Also cute would be a colored bracelet in one of your other wedding colors.

I love the idea of a colored shoe. I think there are so many colors that would work well with this color. I know we will wear these dresses over and over. Thanks for picking these dresses. I love them :)

I love you're letting your maids each wear a different style. I remember hairdresser Carrie did that I thought it looked so cute.

I love the dresses and think that choosing a bridesmaids dress that people will wear again is crucial.

As for jewely, I say you go with something that is a bit more funky. However, finding the perfect balance between funky and over the top will be the challenge.

So I am curious, what type of flowers have you picked to go with your color scheme?

What about turqouise earings and a necklace or just a chunky bracelet and stud earings?
Below are some links:
