Bridesmaid Dresses

As with just about everything else, when it came to the bridesmaid dresses, I had a vision! Last Thursday night my maid of honor and two bridesmaids along with my mom headed out to David's Bridal. I am trying to keep the dresses as cheap as possible, yet still somehow manage to make my vision come to life. At first I didn't think that I was going to find what I wanted. The girls were troopers and tried on all sorts of dresses. Finally, thanks to Seattle Sister Number Two taking charge and putting our "dress consultant" (if you can even call her that since she was MIA for 90% of our time there) we found what we wanted and I think everyone is happy!

Black dresses. I want black dresses. I figured with the Lake Union Cafe and the ceremony being at night, we would need something simple and elegant. Here is a picture of the dress we decided on. Black, strapless, and envision a light blue ("pool") peak - a - boo skirt peaking out the bottom of the dress. Love it!

Each of the three girls will have the option of adding a blue ribbon around their waist and or a blue sash along the top of the dress. Those options, like I said are up to the girls, along with their shoes, as long as they are black!

I think we are going to order the dresses in November to allow for PLENTY of time for them to come and for the girls to get them altered if needed. I think they will all have to be hemmed at least a couple of inches in order for the peak - a - boo skirt to work out!

Thanks girls for helping me figure this all out!!
