I picked my wedding dress trim and it changed everything. I fell in love with this trim. It is AMAZING, but is a grey/blue color.

Sorry the picture isn’t the best, but I don’t want to give too much away to Mr. AC (refer to my dress post from earlier this week to see it more clearly).

The trim will be very small, but after discussion with my bridesmaids and the dress designer, they all thought the purple bridesmaid’s dresses wouldn’t perfectly match. So we decided to make the trek back to David’s Bridal and see what we could find.

Here is the good news! I made a decision about the style. You may remember from all of my posts that I have been having such a tough time deciding on the dresses. Well, we decided to go with the long DB dresses. Some girls will wear the 1 strap, and some will wear the strapless.

I really loved the purple, but discovered the color ‘marine’, and thought that might be the best way to go. The color ‘lapis’ (dark purple) and marine were so similar.

The dress on the right is Lapis, and on the left is marine.

Here is an impromptu picture of the trim with the marine dress:

The pictures on David’s Bridal’s website make the colors look much different, but after seeing them in person, the change seems subtle.

I made the decision today, and I am planning to stick by it and conform to it. It has been such a process, but I feel really great about these dresses. I just love that my girls will look classy, be comfortable, and be in dresses that I would love to wear.

Here is my sister and MOH in the 1-strap dress (in the purple lapis color):

This is a picture of a strapless dress (NOT THE DRESS) in the marine:

The color change throws me for a little loop, but honestly… I am really happy with it.

Did you feel an overwhelming sense of relief when you picked your bridesmaids dresses? How do you feel about marine vs. purple?
