"Saying Yes to the Bridesmaids' Dress"

I was inspired by the show "Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids" to write a blog about choosing the right bridesmaids dresses.  Sometimes, picking out your bridesmaids dresses can be just as big of a task as picking out your own dress was.  You want your girls to be comfortable, confident and of course you want to like the dresses too!  The ultimate decision depends on which dress YOU love.  Here are some tips that are sure to make your search for the perfect dresses a little easier:

1.   Don't crowd the dressing rooms.  Bring who is necessary.  The more people you invite, the more opinions you're inviting.  Too many opinions can lead to being overwhelmed and confused.

2.  Consider getting your bridesmaids to make a list of their visions of the dresses.  Maybe some prefer strapless, or a certain color.  Don't lose control of the decision, but be open-minded to their opinions.

3.  Be understanding.  Don't put your best friend in a tight fitting, satin dress if it's hugging her in all the wrong places just because that's what you've been dreaming about.  Consider a looser fitting fabric, like chiffon.  I'd rather have a smiling, comfortable bridesmaid in my pictures than one that looks bitter and cramped.

4.  Keep skin tones in mind when choosing the shade of the dress.  For example: You might want to pair a lighter hue with a fair skin tone.  Otherwise you run the risk of them looking washed out.

5.  Don't make your bridesmaids look bad in order to make yourself look better.  You will be beautiful.  You want your friends to look and feel beautiful too.  Be a good friend!

Candice & Tony's Wedding

We had a blast planning Candice and Tony's wedding!  They got married on June 1, 2013 at Loveless Barn.  The venue is naturally charming, but we vamped it up by adding burlap and lavender accents along with fun mason jar and lantern centerpieces.  We built a crate cake stand, which really brought out the rustic essence of the theme.  

Thanks to all of the vendors:

Kathryn & Patrick's Wedding

Kathryn and Patrick were married on May 25th, 2013.  They were the first couple to be married at the East Centric Pavilion and we were honored to be a part of it!  We had so much fun decorating and coordinating the event. We decorated the venue with natural tones and textures, like sage green and burlap and lined the aisle with lanterns.  

Thank you to all of the awesome vendors!
