Wedding Wednesday - Bridesmaids Dresses!


Finding my bridesmaid dresses was no easy feat; I spent countless hours perusing the internet for the perfect spring dress for my ladies.  After at least thirty emails, a spreadsheet of likes and dislikes, and a few “what were we thinking” selections we had decided on 3-4 styles for Jenny and I to check out during her summer trip to Denver.  Two dress shops, one ice cream break and three hours later I had decided on a style I hadn’t even considered before. (I know my sisters and Jenny were pleased that our hours of online shopping were essentially useless in the end.)

So how did we did we pick a completely unknown dress? Well… After a much needed mani/pedi we headed over to the bridal shop and immediately upon walking up the stairs I saw it, a beautiful flowing chiffon blush pink gown. I stopped and said, “that’s it, I want it.” It was perfect and I knew it was meant to be. :) (And yes, I had her pull it off the mannequin and no, I don’t feel about her schlepping the thing across the store and struggling to get it down.) After talking it out with my sister and Jenny we decided we couldn’t pick just one style (one wanted straps, one wanted sweetheart, one wanted one shoulder, and one wanted them all…) so each lady is picking their own style. I also secretly wanted to get my own, I mean I can wear that to the rehearsal dinner, no?

I am so relieved to have these picked out; I think we were all sick of the email chains and fruitless searches! They are Amsale in Blush Pink Chiffon and are absolutely stunning. I am so happy to know that each of my ladies will be standing next to me looking like goddesses in these dresses!! Here’s a peak of one:
