The Bridesmaid Couture (originally posted January 4)

Okay, so they aren't exactly wearing couture, per se. But I am in love with the girls' dresses.

I have 5 bridesmaids and 1 matron of honor. The 5 bridesmaids are wearing black, strapless, knee-length bubble hem dresses from David's Bridal. (I could get into how much I loathe David's Bridal, but the unfortunate fact is, they had the dress I wanted. And they are affordable. Nevermind that the sales girl was maybe 19 and was about as interested in helping us as she was is the results of the recent presidential primary.)

But, I digress: The dresses are fantastic. I found them online and my vision was realized when the girls put the dresses on in the store. Did I mention I'm obsessed with bubble hems? yeah. OBSESSED. So the 5 bridesmaids are all wearing the same black dress with black strappy sandals. For the matron of honor, I went with a floor-length dress in watermelon. It's a vibrant pink that goes really well with the other pinks I'm using. The middle has a band around it that matches the bands of the bridesmaid dresses perfectly. I love how it all tied together.

I also picked out the junior bridesmaid dress. It's the same color as my matron of honor's dress, only tea-length.Tomorrow we're going to look at tuxedos for Brian and the groomsmen. I'm hoping he'll go with pink ties and vests for the groomsmen and a white or maybe silver-ish for him. But we'll see what happens tomorrow.We're also going to pick out the flower girl's dress.

She's adorable. I can't wait to see what we come up with for her.
