A Sea of Green

January 18th, 2007 @ 5:42 pm by Mrs. Lily

My Jim Hjelm bridesmaid dresses arrived yesterday!

Slide1

That’s a full month earlier than expected. I couldn’t be happier with NetBride’s service. My camera never seems to take pictures in the right colors, so I tried messing with the flash and the exposure to get it right, but no dice. The real color is green with a hint of blue and much darker than most of the pics I snapped. Oh well, you get the idea!

NetBride isn’t supposed to quote over the Internet so I have been trying to honor that by asking people to e-mail me directly for the price (which I am more than happy to share!).

Me: If you want to find out the price of a particular JH dress at NetBride, you’re right — just e-mail them with the style number and they will call you back with a quote (leave your ohone #).

So happy everyone likes!!!!!!!!!!

KP: The style number is #JH5653T. The ribbon is removable, but came with the dress. I chose the grey because our colors are seagreen and grey, but it comes in a bunch of colors!

I don’t know why the link is messed up to the NetBride web page, but the url is http://www.netbride.com/.

That is a gorgeous bridesmaid’s dress, and looks like it would be flattering to different sizes and shapes. A dress like that can be very hard to find! Congrats on picking a dress that your bridesmaids will probably be happy to wear again. I’d wear it out to a fancy dinner!

I am also looking at that dress for my bridesmaids. I’m considering doing them in eggplant. My MOH is worried about tea length dresses and I was wondering how they worked out for you. Did they need to be hemmed so they would all fall to the same place or where the dresses different lengths on each of the girls?

Jenn– I couldn’t have been happier with the dress! I never throught about hemming it to make it fall right on all the girls. I obviously didn’t do that and thought it looked great on everyone. I think eggplant is probably more re-wearable than the color I chose too! Good luck! I got mine from Net Bride and highly recommend them — they were super nice, fast, and cheap!

Thanks so much! That makes me feel a lot better. Thanks for the tip about Net bride…I hadn’t heard of them until I read this post. I went to their site and requested a quote for the dress. Thanks again!
