Bridesmaids
Dress, Shoes & Gifts

Months ago, I found a dress at David's Bridal that I absolutely LOVED for my bridesmaids. I thought it was perfect. Recently, about a month ago, I went online and it was gone from the bridesmaid section. So, back the drawing board, I searched for replacements.

Yesterday, I went online and searched for my Mom's dress we got her over the weekend, so she could have the pic of it. And OMG, unexpectedly I found my original pick for the bridesmaid's dresses in a different section of the online site at (wait for it......) $29!! Now who doesn't love a great deal?! I love the beading at the top of this dress and along the back. So, I have passed on this info to the girls and hopefully (fingers crossed) they will both get it relatively soon so this opportunity isn't missed. I want them both to get the dress and with both of them being out town, I've found it difficult trying to communicate and coordinate with them.

I also wanted them to get silver sparkly heels. The original shoe at DB's didn't quite work for one of them, so I went back and found another option at Payless. Another great deal right?! I didn't really get responses over the two options, so since I'm the bride, I just picked one and said fine, get these. I originally also included the Helix, the one shown is the Chop-Out. I think these will be a little more comfortable. So I went with these.

I've also included pics of the hair style I want for them. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Taylor Swift <3 haha, so a light curl for them, up. I'm wearing my hair down. Then to give a little more bling w/o it being over the top, a single row of swavarski crystal headband.

I made them each a gift tote bag. I painted their first name intial on the front each in a different color. Inside I included day of necessities, such as deodorant, tide pen, floss, brush ups, sewing kit, hair spray, brush, lint roller, band aids, clear nail polish, etc etc. I also gifted them a black clutch with includes a chain, their bracelet and earrings, personalized hanger, lip gloss, bath and body works lotion and body spray, a face mask....and few other little goodies.

Fingers Crossed the dress and shoe buying go smootly!!

XoXo

Wow!! What an awesome deal! So glad you found them! They are also really cute! I am also having black dresses!! :) AND those shoes from Payless are the ones that I will be wearing! They are super comfy and to add some bridal touch, I bought "I Do" stickers for them! But your girls will love them! Like I said, they are really comfy.

Thx alecia!  I read that they were comfy in the reviews and was partly why I picked them.  I wanted something that they wouldn't end up hating.

The "I Do" stickers are a very cute idea!

Hey, like I said, that's a great deal! you might have to turn into stalker mode to get them to do it. I know both are out of town so it's wayyy harder to get them together, so that's why you have to tell them again and again. I know you don't want to have to go thru choosing dresses again, so maybe you will have to buy it. Will you be seeing them soon, like for the holidays?  I don't know what the return policy is,but you could order online, ship to their house, and have them return to the store by them and you'll get refund. I know there are a lot of things that could go wrong, like what if they don't pay you back, or don't return in time, but the good thing is it's only $29 and if push comes to shove, you might have to replace them if they aren't cooperating. But I know you don't want to do that. But if they aren't giving their opinion on how they feel then you have to make the decision for them. So think about your options and do what best for you! you are the bride and want it a certain way and there's nothing wrong with that.

You did an awesome job of the goodies for the girls! WOW! Where did you get the tote bags, ebay ;)? I ordered some purple ones, and will put their name on it. hopefully I'll have by next week so I can start on them!

Oops didn't comment on the ensemble. I really like the dresses. They are classic and formal and will look great all put together w/ the jewelry. The shoes really do look nice and that's very thoughtful that you are thinking about their comfort. They should be grateful you aren't a bride that's forcing them to wear 5in heels and dresses that look like curtains!  LOL!

Curtains?  Lol.  Noo I would rather them like what they have to buy!  I think its all gonna work out.  My aunt is gonna make sure my cousin gets her dress.  That is a relief.  I would have taken your advice and called her if I needed.  But its all working out now so yay im happy.

Thanks for the nice comments on the ensemble; I love it!
