finally made a decision!

We finally decided on bridesmaid dresses!

Having 9 bridesmaids (the result of joining a sorority)- it has been really really hard finding bridesmaids dresses. Everytime I found a dress I liked- say at White House Black Market- it was a race to see if the sizes were available/if the ladies had a store in their region (we all live in 4 different states)/and if the dress would properly fit them (all different body types).

I have to admit when I started shopping for dresses I didn’t want to go with David’s Bridal. Call me snobby but I don’t like the look of most of their dresses- and I’m not a fan of their sales staff. But a few weeks ago I was getting desperate. So, I looked online and founds these beauties (in black):


They’re simple, black, and I know every bride says this but they really CAN wear them again. The ladies went and tried them on/ordered them this weekend and sent me picture messages- they look too cute!

I’m planning on having them wear black pumps because I have a weird issue with open toe/strappy sandals. One of my quirks- I only like them on some people.

Also, we decided on a hair style which I’m really excited about. As a bridesmaid gift, I’m going to be giving them a white hair flower pin to wear for the wedding. They will wear their hair like this:
Isn’t it so cute? PS: Dear Carrie Underwood I love you. It also works because even girls with short hair can get extensions and look very pretty. I’m so in love with the hairstyle I’m even thinking of wearing mine like that! My hair is medium length, will be long by the wedding, but I still think I’d like to wear extensions just for it to look extra long. Any of you ladies have any experience with hair extensions?

Happy Tuesday!

  1. Love the dresses and hair! They're going to look great! I am also a 'snob' when it comes to Davids Bridal, but being on a budget I may have to look at them a bit more.
    Regarding extentions... my friend who just got married added some length and got extentions. The sewn in kind. She was always complaining it was hurting her head. She had them removed before her honeymoon! I would get it done before the wedding to try it out if you are interested in getting them for your special day. I'm trying to grow my hair out so I don't have to deal with them :)
