Bridesmaid Dresses

I am going to be honest with you, I had a harder time picking out my bridesmaid dresses, than I did with my own wedding dress!  I scoured the internet for the perfect dresses and was given plenty of suggestions from my maids.  I would have loved to be one of those brides who could give her maids a color and then let them pick whatever dress they wanted.  I could not.  I had a hard time even giving them a choice of four different dresses.  Luckily The Dessy Group has dresses that come in so many colors. I found a color that I liked, "Pearl Pink" which came in many different styles.  They also have many dresses with the same skirt with different tops.


I narrowed my choices down to the Alfred Sung collection from  The Dessy Group.  My color was going to be Pearl Pink which came in the Dupioni fabric.  From there, I found a really cute pleated skirt with five different top options.  


After even more deliberation and input from my bridesmaids, I finally decided on strapless for my three bridesmaids

 and the bateau neckline with scoop back for my sister who is the maid of honor.  


I was so excited to finally choose the right dresses for my bridesmaids and could not wait to see them all come together!

Here they are on the big day!

From being a bridesmaid myself, I knew that they would be standing a lot, so I wanted to give them a pair of shoes that would not be too uncomfortable.  I had chosen a pair for myself from Nordstrom's with a low heal, and found a cheaper version that are very similar at DSW.

Lastly, my neighbor went to a sale at the Children's Place and found matching dresses for the flower girls!  They are slightly different because one is toddler sized and the other is a child size.  I am also so glad that she was able to find them there on sale because from what I've found, once a child's dress turns white, the price doubles.  These are perfect for my soft, summer wedding!

It is so exciting to get big details accomplished for the wedding!  After choosing the bridesmaid dresses, I found that The Dessy Group has ties for adults and children in the exact same color and fabric as what I chose.  I was able to buy matching ties for all of the groomsmen, the fathers, and little bow ties for the ring bearers!

Hope you enjoyed!
