The Dresses
These are the bridesmaids dresses - yes they have finally been ordered! Yay! (I'm not putting up a picture of the wedding gown because Someone is pretty adamant about not seeing my dress.) We got these dresses from David's Bridal in Pinole - read about the experience on our Vendors page.
Not all of these dresses ended up getting chosen actually. Here is what each bridesmaids is wearing:
- Michelle (Maid of Honor) - F12899 in Canary (First row, second column)
- Robelene (Maid of Honor) - F12441 in Canary (Third row, second column)
- Raquel - F12441 in Truffle (Third row, first column)
- Jeannette - F12284 in Truffle (Second row, first column)
- Jannelle - F12441 in Truffle (Third row, first column)
- Jenny - F12284 in Truffle (Second row, first column)
- Claire - F12899 in Watermelon (First row, third column)
- Grace - F12899 in Watermelon (First row, third column)
- Tarah - F12284 in Watermelon (Second row, third column)
- Viola - F12441 in Watermelon (Third row, third column)
As you can see, I gave my bridesmaids a range of colors and styles from which to choose. The idea of seeing them all in one color just didn't seem right to me. Plus, I wanted them to be able to have some say in what they are going to wear. I did choose styles that worked together, so it wouldn't seem like a big mish-mosh. All the dresses are chiffon and have similar lengths, and they all have a light, layered, flowiness to them. The two maids of honor are wearing yellow (by the way, the pictures show different shades of yellow, but they aren't), while the bridesmaids are split into 4 in brown and 4 in pink.
I've asked them to all wear silver shoes. Even if the styles end up being different, at least the shoes will be within the same range. Plus, I know that some of the ladies already have silver shoes, so why buy another pair when you have one that's already broken in?
