Dresses!!

For the last several weeks I have been sticking to a wedding timline I found in KC Weddings religiously.  If it says do it now, I'm doing it now because, frankly, I don't know what I am doing.  The one exception (and yes, I am sure many exceptions to this timeline will be made, but as of now I plan on sticking to it) is engagement photos. It says to take them 9-12 months before the wedding and we have already scheduled the photographer for October.  The trees will be so pretty then.  So engagement photos are a little delayed but no big deal.  --Back to the point.  This timeline tells me that 9-12 months before the wedding select attendants' attire.  Hallelujah!  I have been waiting for what seems like forever for permission to do this :)  And now I shall share with you some of the contenders.

This dress is from Landa and I think it is absolutely adorable.  I love the lemon color, however, with my dress being ivory and the men (hopefully) wearing taupe suits, yellow might make everything seem monochromatic and boring.  Should I decide on this dress I think we would order it in a peachy-coraly color.

Now for Bari Jay.  First of all, I love Bari Jay.  I like about 80% of the bridesmaid dresses they have on their site but I will show you 2 for now, seeing as how they are my very favorites!

Man, I love the one above!  It seems like it would be flattering to just about all body types with the loose fitting, a-line skirt and I love the chiffon fabric it is made out of.  It also comes in yellow and sage that I love as well.

Okay, so I know the dress above will not be the cup of tea for all of my bridesmaids. I just really love it.  I love rosettes.  I walked into J Crew yesterday to find it was spewing rosette everything.  I was in love, my wallet was not.  This is probably a distant choice for a dress for my maids.  It just isn't everyone's style and the last thing I was to do it stick them in something they will be uncomfortable wearing and hide in the back of their closet once the day is over.  I just seriously love rosettes; maybe I can convince them to wear a rosette pin in their hair to quell my rosette obsession. Or, maybe by the time the wedding arrives I will be over it.  Who knows!
