Wedding planning is nuts. Its just plain nuts. Okay, its 80% nuts to 20% fun. I get why people elope.

I am very slowly marking things off the to do list. Yesterday my mom and I bought "the dress" from a sweet little bridal shop downtown. I knew I would probably need to buy one off the wrack, I couldn't wait 6 months for a dress to arrive. I picked out four. Tried them on, with only my moms assistance. Never left the dressing room to parade around. Took one look in the mirror with each dress on, and either dismissed or maybe'd. I picked the third dress. It was just a little too snug, but I am losing, and want to lose more. I should be good. The neckline needs a little modification (it just goes a little too low for my taste) but other than that it is perfect. It was the cheapest of the four, and an additional 25% off (it was the shop's one year anniversary!)...my kind of dress!!!

I am having a dilemma with bridesmaids attire. I really want them to wear something they would be comfortable in, in whatever color they like. I am not so much worried that their dresses match the table settings. I don't really get the matchy thing.

I really want to know what you all think. Seriously. Please post on your thoughts on bridesmaids' attire...

happy tuesday!!!

hmmm. i'd pick a length and maybe a color scheme (because people want direction) and then let them get whatever they'd wear again :) my friend just got married and had a black and white theme. the bridesmaids all wore black floor length dresses but they were all a style they chose and loved. it looked awesome!

Back in the day, that was all the rage ... the same color, the same style. How boring! I agree with Krysta that you should pick out a color or a color scheme, but let them choose the style. I'm sure it will be beautiful.
