I was trying to go that route too, something cheap that they could wear again, but I figured we should at least try some out while we were at David's. They all liked this so much that it was just easiest to say ok and be done. :) I think I'd like the champagne shawl against that, or white. Something to balance out the black dress!

I think its fun and shows personality. I also am partial to lace. I would wear it everyday if I could. I also liked number 1 for the more traditional look. I loved shopping for dresses. My mom and aunt wanted me in the big traditional white dress. But I'm 5'1 and fairly small generally so those dresses owned me.. i was all dress. Anyhow I didn't end up with a white dress or a ball gown. When I found "the one," I said "I love it!" My mom and aunt would have never picked that dress for me, but they saw how happy it made me and thats whats its all about. So remember, chose a dress that YOU will love looking back at the pics for the rest of your life and you family will relish in your happiness :) I really like the short dress.

I ended up picking a non-traditional bridesmaid dress from - guess where - Boscov's! Here's a link to the dress, which we ordered in black: http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Evan-Picone-Womens-Satin-Waist-Chiffon-Dress/3918166/product.html We were able to order all of the dresses in different sizes from other Boscov's stores. It was so simple! I love, love, love the dress, and it is flattering on their body types since it's light fabric and A-line. At only $25, I bought an extra one for myself. Don't know where I'll wear it, though. Maybe I'll just wear it to work one day. Or maybe I'll just sleep in it. Haha. I think the bridesmaids, who are my four sisters, might be able to wear the dress again. Still trying to determine what color shawl to pair with the dress: champagne, white, black, or light emerald. So many choices, so confused! That dress is adorable, especially in plum.

So, counting backwards, alterations should start in August, and dress should be ordered by the start of May, ideally. I'm planning on sealing the deal on the dress I eventually chose this month, just to be safe! Aly – we’re on the same timeline. :)

I still haven't gone shopping for my dress, and the wedding is in October. How long did David's tell you the dress would take (i.e., ordering it, the alterations, etc.)?. Love No. 1!

I encouraged them to try some on since I had 3/4 girls there and see if they could get some ideas, and they just ended up deciding on a dress right away! What other colors are you pairing purple with? I'm all about shades of cream, gray and some black and white. Yeah, that was my plan too!

I'm using purple in my wedding too. I've looked and saw a couple I like but I will most likely give them guidelines and then let them choose. Beautiful choice.

I do like #2 a lot, but I'm not like, completely head over heals, you know? I think I've found a dress that mixes the best of that dress with my undying love of the short dress, haha. I'm so excited you found my blog that way! I was in a similar position, finding a few NEPA wedding sites but nothing amazing, so I thought I'd try blogging about it! Even though I can't review every venue ever, or every bridal salon in NEPA (that would be exhaaaauuusting), I hope it helps. If you ever have ideas or good finds in the area once you move back, let me know and I'll share with the world. :) Hi there. :)
