I’ve always loved the idea of a colored dress. But I’m stumped by what the bridal party would wear! I love the first dress!

All of the time! Sometimes I am tempted to duck into cute boutiques and try things on, but I never have.

Loooove the blush/pink dresses! I looked at some, and ended up with a gold dress (the jim hjelm “antique” color). Bridesmaids are wearing white!

I love the first dress!
I’m selling the first dress I bought, and I already bought another one. I love the dress I have now, but I still look at others and drool over them!

Long before I ever was engaged, I insisted I would wear a pink dress for my wedding. I love that second dress with the sleeves and collar. I didn’t end up having any color on my dress, but I still loved it. And yes, I wish I had waited a long time before buying a dress. But in the end, everything worked out phenomenally.

I wore a pink dress. I wanted a pink dress from the very beginning and never regretted the decision I made. Even after so many people asked me what I would think when I looked back 30 years from now. My answer… “I Loved that dress!” I tried on lots of dresses, and putting on the pink one made me feel like a “bride”.

I think it’s each to their own personality. People are still talking about the dress, and refer to me as the girl who wore a pink dress.

However, even with the few colored dresses in magazines, very few of them are of real weddings. And you always hear about the colored dress trend, but I don’t actually see the realization of that trend.

So, in my own inspiration, to prove I wasn’t crazy, I collected pictures of real brides in real pink dresses. You can check them out here. Never regretted the decision I made.

The last one is my dress!!! Only, I’m doing Ivory and not pink…Pink on a fair skinned redhead isn’t quite as pretty as Ivory…

Isn’t that second Caroline Herrera Mrs. Beetle’s dress? I remember she had a pink Caroline Herrera with a collar and pockets…

The last dress is mine too! I got it in the pink color shown! I am going tomorrow, thursday, to try it on for the first time. I am doing a cherry blossom theme wedding and my BM’s are wearing chocolate dresses. My wedding is May 16, 2009. I am so excited and can’t wait.

BTW, I am open to cherry blossom ideas ;)
