Showcasing the Bridesmaids Dresses

The guys tux's were reserved before deposits went down on the Bridesmaid dresses. Should I be ashamed of myself? Naaah. Some people were telling me that I needed to place the order for the girls dresses months ago. But I didn't. I'm gutsy like that. I was looking for a particular color, and a particular style, and I wasn't going to just pick "a" dress just for the sake of keeping on track with my monthly wedding checklist. Who would have known that I could be such a rebel? I knew that time was passing but I never fretted; I continued to puruse the racks with ease and I'm so glad I did because I truly love the dresses that the girls will be wearing {they will arrive in mid February - plenty of time for alerations to be made if needed}.

So without further ado...

WHAT FUN STREET SHOTS!! {obviously this picture stood out to me because the color of the dresses are very similar to what my girls will be wearing}.

For our spring wedding, the girls will each carry a lush bouquet similar to the flowers seen here. The blooms will consist of ivory anemones {with black and yellow centers}, ranunculus, ivory snowy jewel roses, blush vendela roses, accents of hydrangea, and lambs ear. It will be finished off with a champagne satin ribbon wrap adorned with platinum-studded french knots.
Not sure as to what jewelery they will wear but I came across these earrings and thought something like this would compliment the dress beautifully.
And how about a clutch like this one? The perfect shade of champagne, with a rose undertone.

My sister rocks heels. High heels. High, high heels {extra length was added to her dress because of her love for 4" - 5" beauties}. I'm certain she would love these fashion forward numbers. The color couldn't be more perfect. The price tag though...now that could be improved.
So another thing done {and added to "Our Planning Progress" on the right hand side}. Whoo hoo!

Those dresses are super pretty. Definitely something that can be worn to a cocktail party or formal dinner even after the wedding.

Your girls will be forever grateful they won't have puffy sleeves.
