Last Wednesday, we went to get my bridal gown and bridesmaids dresses. I have pictures of me in my dress, but AJ's asked me not to post them here, in case something happens and he accidentally sees them! He is really serious about not seeing any part of my bridal look before the wedding!
But, I can show you the bridesmaids dresses!
I really wanted my maid of honor to be in a different dress than the rest of the girls, because I wanted her to stand out a bit. At her wedding, the dresses had sashes, so I wore a silver sash and everyone else wore purple, and I really liked that. But, my dresses didn't have sashes, so she got a different dress.
Originally, I planned on short dresses, but Liz and my mom suggested we just try a few long dresses - and I loved them. So now we are going with gowns!
We chose this gown for the bridesmaids. Only the strap won't be there, it is detachable, and I don't love the flowers for a fall wedding!

Now, those aren't the colors for the dresses. The colors were kind of an issue.
Originally, I had picked loden for the girls' dresses. It was a dark green. But then all I could think was that the loden dresses with my rust orange flowers would look like a St. Patrick's Day wedding!
I was so upset that I was still thinking about this on Saturday. So, my mom and I went back to Macy's and looked at the dresses again. Stephanie, my consultant, was so helpful. She took a bunch of burnt orange and rust ribbons and held them up next to my dress. Then she held up a loden green bridesmaid gown next to my dress. And my mom saw St. Patrick's Day.
So, I decided that we needed to pick a different color!
After about an hour of debating, and a mini bridal crying breakdown (because this was the first decision for the wedding I had trouble with!) I decided to go with the color spice!
I like it so so much better than the green, and now I'm very very happy with the bridesmaids dresses!

Beautiful! Love that you picked something different for your Maid of Honor! Is her dress spice too, or a different color? I got confused, and of course I need to know, because I feel like I'm making all these decisions with you. Hahahaha! :) I'm so sorry you got upset, but thrilled everything worked out!
Gorgeous! I love the spice!!! It just reminds me of a pumpkin spiced latte and pumpkin bread. So awesome that your dresses are picked out and you're all so happy with them.
Those dresses are gorgeous.
I like the idea of the bridesmaid being in a bit of a different dress.
Love the colour choices. Perfect for your fall wedding.
So sweet that AJ is following tradition :)
