Originally I was going to go with a short pink chiffon dress with a silver broach looking thing in the middle of the chest area. ( see picture in original bridesmaid post ) however after much debate, my fiance and I ( and the bridesmaids ) have all agreed on a different dress. Its going to be black, still going to be chiffon, and somewhat short.. but it will be long enough for those who are uncomfortable in short dresses.
It looks better in person then it does in pictures (imo). The dress is from davids bridal, as well as the shoes. They will be pink flip flops with this little pom pom thing at the top of it.
Accessories for the bridesmaids will be pink. They dont all have their ears pierced so I think I will stay away from earings, ( optional if they want ) and have them wear pink beaded braceles and perhaps a pink beaded necklace.
As for their hair, I dont think that they all look their best with hair up and I dont think they all look their best with their hair down. I think I will pretty much be leaving it up to them, but make sure that I like it as well.
I bought the same flip flops for my flower girl to wear to our rehearsal dinner but they are white =) They are so cute!
