Dressin' Up The Bridesmaids

I was freaking out a couple months back. I checked out so many stores for dresses for the girls that I was getting so discouraged you cannot imagine. To the point that it was stressing me out more than everything else wedding related. Crazy eh?

I tried finding light green dresses during the spring/summer collections since it's pretty much the only time that there will be this shade of green during the year. I was thinking along the lines of the color sage or bright green.

Unfortunately all we could find were kiwi green or puke green. Bah. So frustrating! I really didn't want to go the black dress route. It would look really somber and feel like a funeral!

One day Bridesmaid S went to a store that I thought we had checked out, but we completely forgot about it. She found a beautiful dress that I unfortunately do not have a picture of. However, its in this beautiful shade of teal.

The dress we chose is not this one here. It's from RW&CO and it is strapless (with the option of adding straps), knee length, and empire waist. It's a stretchy material which is not spandex. All of the bridesmaids look lovely in the dresses! They all have different body types and this dress complements all of them.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to go back to RW&CO to see if they had other dresses that I might like since I really like dresses...plus I need one for MOH C's wedding next September.



I found this lovely flower which would go great for MOH C to either put it in her hair or to attach it to her waist. Plus, it is a shade darker than the sage green that I was looking for. Score!

Did you ever change the dress color choice since you couldn't find what you originally find in mind?

One dress or two dresses?

I went on my wedding dress search back in April and actually found my lovely dress that I will be wearing on the big day. When I first bought it I didn't really think I would be wearing two dresses. I though heck, I'm spending a whooping 600.00$ on a dress I'm only going to wear once, so I better wear it all night!

I'm a little paranoid that Mr. Ferret might actually see a picture of my dress, so I won't be posting a picture of it. Only after the wedding. Please be patient ^_^

Mr. Ferret is Vietnamese and his aunt thought of incorporating some of his culture into the wedding. I thought it would be a great idea. They usually end up changing into 3 dresses, but I will only change into a second dress which is called an Aodai and is generally worn in red or pink. They also wear a hat which I won't. It would be nice if I could get one in either yellow, teal, or green.


Here are some images to give you an idea of how they look like:

Would you wear something more traditional than your wedding dress?
