Last night in Chicago, we had a weird torrential rainstorm that lasted for hours. But being that it was my only free night of the week (guys poker night), I decided to charge on with my plans to visit the bridal salon nearest to me which carried the Jasmine bridesmaids dresses. Even though I was 98% sure I knew which style and color I wanted, that 2% doubt still bugged me.

So I braved the horizontal rain. Coincidentally, when I got there, there was a young girl around my sister’s age (15) trying on my intended bridesmaids dress and it looked lovely on her! That confirmed my decision. In terms of color, I had my eye on Berry (see below), which seemed to be my only choice in a dark red. It wasn’t as dark as I hoped it would be, but I figured it would do. Anyways, home I went, and I immediately placed the order for my 5 bridesmaids via Netbride, and VOILA! Easy as pie…

Just as I thought I was done with the whole Bridesmaids business, this morning I went back to the Jasmine website (for no good reason, I might add) and suddenly noticed that there is another color, Cranberry, which looks even darker than the Berry. I called up the company directly and asked if the cranberry was more dark red versus dark purple, and they said it was definitely a dark red color. The weird thing is that I never even noticed this color when looking at the color swatches!! I emailed Netbride and they said they can hold the order until I decide on the color, so no problem. Yay! But now I need to find time to go back to the bridal shop to look at the swatches again.
