About Mrs. Ballet Flat

I Love These Gals!

October 21st, 2008 @ 4:40 pm by Mrs. Ballet Flat

As you might remember from this post about my bridesmaid, Miss K, she ended up picking her dress first out of the 4 ladies who are in my bridal party. I failed to explain that I’m letting my bridesmaids choose their dress. As long as it’s an Alfred Angelo tea-length dress in tealness, I’m good to go! Reason being, they all are very different in body type, size and height. I couldn’t justify choosing one dress to fit their likings. I want them to love their dress and not feel obligated to buy something they otherwise would NEVER choose.

A couple weekends ago, I went with Miss J to go choose her dress at Alfred Angelo. I failed to mention that I know Miss K and Miss J from a national service organization called Silver Wings. We were pretty involved in the organization and eventually were officers together for LSU. Such great college memories… sigh. We all share a slight obsession with “My Humps” by Black Eyed Peas, and it’s in the works to choreograph a dance to this song for the wedding with the gals! (sisters will be included too!) Anyway, besides my two sisters, these ladies are the closest gal pals I’ve ever had!

Onto Miss J’s choice in bridesmaid fashion. :) Unfortunately, the Alfred Angelo we went to didn’t have this dress, but Miss J loved it so much from the pictures, she knew it would be the one for her!

I can’t wait to see her in the dress when it comes in! My sisters will be dress shopping in November (no worries, I’ll be tagging along!), so stay tuned for their choices in their dress! I totally can’t wait!!

Have you chosen a dress for your girls or are you letting them choose the dress?

I’m letting them choose the dress also, any dessy style in Sapphire. I ordered through the dessy website a swatch of it, and to be honest I was not impressed by the color, it didn’t look as good as it looks online, so now I’m going to go around some stores around here and see the colors in person, hopefully I can find a dress in Sapphire and it’ll look better! we’ll see, I recommend you see the color in person before you decide it looks great online!

What a great dress!
I too am letting them choose their dress because 1. I really just want them to get something they like and 2. they are also very different shapes, sizes and heights. We’re having a good time dress hunting!

Beautiful color and great dress! I so wish I would have let them pick their own out. Shopping for them was such a pain in the butt. The only thing that makes it worthwhile is the fact I got a great deal (but at great cost to my mental health!).

I let my mine pick although I chose the color scheme. I was the maid of honor for my cousin recently and she also allowed me to choose any style I wanted and she chose the color. It was a great idea because I felt really comfortable and most importantly it was my style.

You are quite a brave woman - “My humps” on your wedding day? You must really love that song.
