And we could not be more excited! After a few weeks of toiling and going back and forth between solid colors and patterns, short, tea-length, and full-length dresses, v-necks, strapless-necks, and just about every other differentiating factor you can think of, a decision was miraculously made and the ladies have ordered their gowns. This gown's colors were just too wonderful to pass up, and the sharp contrast of the burnt orange, tangerine, aqua blue, and deep purple harkens thoughts of tropical flowers and fiery sunsets over the blue ocean waters. Where did we find this wonderous halter-neck, full-length, jersey-knit concoction? Well, Victoria's Secret of course. Hah! No one would ever guess you could find bridesmaid dresses there, but like other destination brides, I chose to look outside the typical bridesmaid dress box, and I am so glad it happened the way it did. As long as the dresses fit and are comfortable, this will be 'the dress' and we'll just have some minor accessorizing to do. I plan to make bracelets for the 'best women', and potentially also ankle bracelets. I hope to find some trendy flat sandals as well, and will post about those in the near future (the hunt for reasonably-priced shoes has so many stops!).
In the midst of attempting to decide which kind of starfish or coral should comprise the men's boutonnieres, I ran across a photo that I didn't even know I had once found (a few months ago, according to the 'modified' date!). Here's the VS bridesmaid dress that eventually won our personal bridesmaid dress contest in action! How exciting! (My bridesmaids will of course look waaayyy hotter in it...)
