Melissa Sweet :  wedding bridesmaid dress vancouver 524324425 87edd6394c O jenn4

I have absolutely no interest in these dresses but I love these photos. Girls - when you go shopping, bring a camera! And if the store let’s you take pictures, which usually they don’t care so much about with BM dresses, do it! It’ll make for great memories. I think we tried on everything in the store, myself included. In the end, I realized I much prefer cocktail dresses to bland, solid color, cut-your-body-across-the-top-and-let-my-fat-under-my-armpits-hang-out (ie strapless) bridesmaid dresses.

Melissa Sweet is the (expensive) answer to the boring BM dress. Here is my photoshop attempt to show her color availability: left to right, top to bottom: grey, olive, green tea, chocolate, black, blue

And here is our real life people rendition of the Melissa Sweet ad

…and us trying desperately to pick a color scheme to go with grey. Red might work in that coloured-in-b&w-photo sort of way. My BM’s thought that this dress, being white on top, washed them out too much with their pale skin.

We’re using those gray bm dresses! The one in the bottom two photos, but with a black ribbon around the waist. We arent using any color with gray-just gray, ivory and black and I love it! These dresses were my whole inspiration for using gray.

I’m using tiffany blue as my accent but pale pink or marigold yellow are two other colors I really love that go with pewter grey!

I’m using the MS bridesmaid dresses in the middle in ivory with a sage ribbon sash! I love her bridesmaid dresses because the girls can actually wear them again - unlike 99% of other bridesmaid dresses.

My vote is for the red - or stick with the grey and accent with yellow!

I was never too keen on black but I’m starting to like the black and white…something they’ll be able to wear again instead of a ghastly pink. lol

Those are gorgeous! I’m not such a fan of the white tops, though…to me it kind of looks like the wearer forgot to put her top on over her bra.
