Bridesmaids
I made some decisons!

So we were doing really good for a while, but then we kind of just stopped. Today we made some progress again and really don't have that much left....well, maybe we do, but now we have less than yesterday. Today we met with the florist and discussed everything. We picked my bouquet, bridesmaids bouquet, corsages, boutonnieres, flower girl, reception decor, and discussed the ceremony. We are waiting to see some pictures of a a recent wedding before making decisions about the ceremony decor. Clearly nothing is set in stone, but he has an idea of what he'll need to do and we have an idea of what we are getting and how much we will be paying. After an hour and a half with the florist, we picked up my grandma and headed out of town to check out bridesmaid dresses. My grandma is the perfect size for the bridesmaid dresses and my in town bridesmaid had to go out of town at the last minute, so we had my grandma try on all the dresses for us. She fit them perfectly and she loooved getting to try on all those dresses! We finally decided on a dress that is right at the price I was shooting to stay around. We looked at flower girl dresses and found some that were $200, which is way more than we'd ask our friend to spend. I ran into the flower girls mom and told her we found a few and I'd give her options since some were rather expensive. My mom and I searched the internet and e-mailed her links to dresses ranging from $24-$200. I told her these were ones I liked, if she saw one she liked feel free to get it, if not, I trust her judgement. One less decision I have to make! I think if I had fewer bridesmaids I would do the same thing, but with 5 people who don't all know each other it just isn't an option.

YAY!!  I love everything.  This picture of the BM dresses looks a lot better than the one you sent me... I think it was just the girl standing funny that made her look hipp-y.

I may have made a color decision today... I'll sleep on it and then try and find some pictures to post so I can get some opinions..

Yeah, it didn't make my grandma look hippy at all, and a lot of the dresses did.  Most of the ones I really really liked on the hanger made her look like she had a big belly (which she doesn't).  This one was very flattering and looked very nice.  I'm looking forward to hear the decision!

IT actually sounds like you got a lot done. I agree to many hands in the cookie jar leaves a mess.  I love all of your choices !!
