Bridesmaids dresses

Saturday we went and ordered bridesmaids dresses. It was the first time all the maids had gotten together and things went really well!

Of course I came in with the photo of the dress I wanted and was ready to go. The lady at the store told me I was the "easiest bride ever." I told her I wanted that dress and wanted to make sure they had the colors I wanted: dark blue and silver. She brought the swatches, I picked the colors out and we were good to go! Jaci tried on their sample to see how it looked and we all loved it :)

It's A-line and is duchess satin, so it has structure. It flows away from the hips and thighs and is flattering on everyone! I love the dress so much that I wish I could wear it :)

I'm letting the maids pick out their own shoes and jewelry so they can show their own style. They seem to all agree that silver shoes are the way to go.

I couldn't imagine doing things any differently. I found the dress online and had sent links to all the girls, asking what they thought. They all liked it, obviously. I saw several groups where girls were trying on dozens of dresses. Sure some chicks like this, but I knew my ladies wouldn't.

I could see bringing one maid in to try on some styles, but bring eight in and have them all try different ones on? No thanks.

We went to lunch after and had a great afternoon! Britt and Jaci said they have never been so involved in the planning before and have had so little stress. That's the whole point! I don't want them to be stressed out at all. I just want them to be there on the big day and have a great time!

Anyway, here's a picture of Jaci vamping it up for the camera in the sample dress.
