Hello All!
So, as most of you know, I am getting married next year. Wedding planning is starting to consume a great portion of my life, so I thought I'd share my experiences :-) I was inspired to start the "Wedding Wednesday" by a fellow blogger, I am Khatu. Love her style, her blog and reading about her wedding experiences. I believe she just recently wed her hubby, so CONGRATS to her!
Well.....I thought long and hard of what my first wedding Wednesday should be about and since I went on and on in one of my past posts about the "impossible" bridesmaid dress search, I figured I'd share my journey with you. I was so particular about what I wanted in a bridesmaid dress that most of the time I chose to go by myself. I didn't want to interrupt anyone's schedule and I am so indecisive, it just made sense for me to go alone.
Well.....I thought long and hard of what my first wedding Wednesday should be about and since I went on and on in one of my past posts about the "impossible" bridesmaid dress search, I figured I'd share my journey with you. I was so particular about what I wanted in a bridesmaid dress that most of the time I chose to go by myself. I didn't want to interrupt anyone's schedule and I am so indecisive, it just made sense for me to go alone.
Side Note: Please keep in mind, I am not what's considered "sample size", so some of these dresses may be a little ill-fitted. :-) Also, the colors you see are not my colors, just the color the samples come in.
So, it begins.....
Dress #1-I believe the designer is Lazaro. Initially, I really liked this dress but the more and more I looked at it, I started to think it was a little too trendy. I was afraid that in a couple of years I would look back on my pictures and think "What the heck was I thinking?!" Also, the colors this dress comes in are very limited which was another issue for me.
Dress #2-Designer is Jim Hjelm. I thought this dress was pretty cool. However, I have girls all shapes and sizes in my bridal party and I wasn't sure it would be flattering on everyone and again the colors are limited with this dress, as well.
Dress#3-The designer of this dress is Enzoani from the Love Collection. This dress was ok, I wasn't in love with it.
Dress #4-The designer of this dress is Jim Hjelm. As simple as this dress is, I actually really liked it. It was one of my fav's out of all the ones I tried on, this particular day. I think this dress can definitely be accessorized to give it that glam factor. However, I wasn't a fan of the price for such a simple dress.
Dress #5-I do not recall who the designer is on this dress. I liked the silhouette but wasn't a fan of the belt that comes with the dress.
Well, that was the start of my bridesmaid dress hunt and there is definitely more to come, so please stay tuned :-)
Happy Wednesday!

Love the idea of wedding Wednesday!! I'm indecisive as well!
ReplyDeleteI like the purple one and the black the best. Maybe see if you can detach the belt if you don't like it? :) Good luck on your hunt!
