Mrs. Poodle's Picture
Mrs. Poodle, Santiago, Chile/San Bernardino, CA Age and Occupation: 27, Industrial & Web Designer Fiance's Age and Occupation: 24, Firefighter & Mountain Patrol Engagement Date: February 25, 2009 Wedding Date: January 2010 Venue: Mr. P's Grandparents’ Ranch About Me: I’m a Chilean girl who's crazy about nature and swimming. I enjoy carving, drawing, reading and sewing; I drool over computers, fabric, pretty paper, purple and patterns. To me, chocolate should be one of the seven wonders, right next to lemon pie. I never thought an exchange work experience program was going to change my life forever, but while working in California, I met Mr. Poodle, and ever since my days are better and brighter. We are two goofy souls that, after finding each other, couldn’t help but want to be together forever. It has being a long and sometimes hard road, since we have to deal with such a long distance between us, but we are now facing the last stage of our Fiancé Visa, and soon we will be together. You know the best part? We will be married! So I’ll be blogging from Chile until just a few months before our “green and purple” wedding.

Cute for the Ladies

July 23rd, 2009 @ 9:33 am by Mrs. Poodle

I’ve been researching for the girls’ dresses, just to have ideas I can show them later and to ask them what they think will be comfortable for the wedding.  My mom actually offered to make them, but I’m not planning 100% on that because I’m not sure how much time she will have available.

Here are the ones that caught my attention (just the shapes, not all the colors).

I can imagine all of them in a purple and green combination. smile01 It gets me so excited!

Now if I could manage to make these with my mom, it would be soooo cool, not just because we could pick the fabric and colors, but because we could custom-fit them. Each girl could choose what best fits them based on their body types. smile01 Keep dreaming, Miss Poodle! I need a clone to do everything I’m planning on doing… hee hee.

Are you suggesting to your ‘maids what they’ll wear? If so, how are you approaching them, and are they paying for the dresses themselves?

I like that last one, in fact, that was one I bookmarked when i was looking for Bridesmaid dresses too! I sent suggestions to my maids and then brought MOH shopping with me and sent them all the pics of the ones we liked. They did end up paying for their dresses which were about $140.

You could always pick a few different dresses and then ket your bms pick one they like. Especially if you stick with one designer so all the colors match.

i love the jcrew dress (the 7th). it’s just so flirty and fun. I told my girls the color that i wanted (yellow) and asked them to send me links to all dresses that they found in yellow that they liked, and i sent them ones that they liked, i also asked them to send me their budgets so that i knew how much my max would be.

I love dress number 1, 8, and 9! Eight especially would work really well with a purple & green combo…with number one, you might have you have half your girls in purple and half in green, but that would be cool! =)

The 7th one is amazing!!! Not only is it super cute but they could actually wear it again which makes it alot less painful to spend so much on a dress.

I chose the make (Dessy) and colour, and then let them choose the styles - they also happened to chose the same fabric, so they matched quite well, while still suiting their own style.

My wedding dress looks almost just like the first one. I got mine at David’s Bridal in the BM section, less than $100!

CUTE! I am having my BM’s do Jcrew dresses, I’m specifying the color, but letting them pick whichever dress they like in that particular shade, depending on which one makes them most comfortable!

oooh, I love the ruffles on the 2nd one and the last one! And where I’m from, it’s typical for the BMs to purchase their own gown.

I love these dresses!
I’ve picked Alfred Angelo in satin and in the color Berry and picked about 10 dresses - some short, some long, some strapless, some not - and asked my bridesmaids to pick one. I’m excited to see how it all comes together…

I think you commented on my post/poll with the last dress as an option. In the end I’m going with the other one I had up. I love all the ones you’re suggesting! I ended up picking the one they all said they’d wear again.

I’m giving my bridesmaids some guidelines — the dresses have to be cocktail length and the color “watermelon” from David’s. Besides that, they can pick whatever they would like. My MOH (my sister) is wearing the peek a boo skirt and a sash to stand out a bit.

i actually told my ladies to pick out some that they like and we’d make the final decision together. one less thing for me to do, and as long as they are pink, short, all the same and don’t make anyone look better than me (hee hee), they can wear whatever they want!

i love the jcrew dress you picked out (#7) and the third dress.
