Bridemaids Dresses

Hey ladies!

So this Saturday, LA, Chelle and I are going to David's Bridal in Kennesaw to do some dress looking for both bride and bridesmaids. If you are around and would like to come, our appointment is at 1pm and we may meet up earlier in the morning for beakfast/brunch or wait until after the appointment (to avoid the bloaty feeling we all get sometimes) and get lunch. However, if you are unable to come, then please send me, LA or Chelle via e-mail or posting here a certain style or fabric or whatever that you may to looking for or have an idea of that goes along with what we already know LA wants. This way, we can do our best to kind of keep an eye out and construct a dress that all of us may like to wear if it comes down to LA wanting us to all have the same dress.

So, if you prefer satin to chiffon, or strapless to cap sleeves or whatever, then please let us know now!!! Also, look at the kind of dresses you have bought in the past and see if you can figure out a pattern (aside from color since we're pretty sure the color is going to be a royal blue or a little darker) in your dresses that made you love them. Was it the silhouette of the dress? (A-line, empire waisted, assymetrical, fitted, trumpet?) Was it the fabric? (satin, silk, chiffon, taffeta, organza?) Was it the neckline of the dress? (halter, sweetheart, scoop, square?) Was it the straps? (cap sleeves, strapless, spaghetti?)  Taking these things into account will help your alot more when picking out a dress and for us to pick a dress all of us will like and look good in should LA want us to all have the same dress.

Hope you all are doing well and had a great Independence Day! Hopefully we can all get together as bride and bridesmaids before the summer is out and we all go out seperate ways until next summer. If not, then I wish everyone well and will keep this as up-to-date as possible!

So mes belles dames, I leave you with these quotes from The Bridemaids Guide by Kate Chynoweth:
    "Becoming a fabulous bridemaid takes more than the simple commitment that friendship requires- it takes skills and savoir faire..."
    "Being a bridemaid is about being a friend and helping the people you love through good times and bad [and] transcends the role of practical helper and friend to play an even more extraordinary role in the wedding- an unwavering bridge between the bride's old life and new."
