I love how in this wedding, the bridesmaids’ dresses are the same color as the bride’s wedding gown, just shorter. This makes me feel better about perhaps picking light pewter as the BM dress color.
Aren’t the light pewter shoes darling with the cream/white dresses, or what?! I never even thought of that color combination!

Would you consider having white/cream bridesmaids dresses?
I would have considered it if wasn’t so prone to spilling things/getting dirty (why I got an off white dress!). In the “olden days” bridesmaids all wore white (to confuse kidnappers or evil spirits so they wouldn’t know which was the bride)- I say go for it! You can do whatever you want to anyway these days!
I wanted white/cream bridesmaid dresses but changed my mind when I went with a knee length bridal dress. I think it looks great!
It looks beautiful!
I also like the succulents in the bouquets- I would definitely end up planting them afterwards and smiling at the memories every time I watered them.
I love that color combo. I think it makes everything really clean and elegant. FWIW, my grandma had white BM dresses in 1948 and the photos look fantastic, even after all these years!
I’m sorry, but as an avid follower of all the bees, past and present, your’s is quite boring. you really haven’t been talking about anything really of your wedding or plans. just one or two sentences and a bunch of pictures.
It hasn’t been quite as entertaining as the other bees.
@melinda: Ouch! Sorry to hear you feel that way! Well, the posts Weddingbee have been posting from me are archival posts from my personal blog. They will get more personal soon when they are caught up to my present posts.
However, I disagree with you to some extent. The pictures and ideas I post are my inspirations for my wedding, which means I will be using some to most of them for my wedding. While it’s true some of my posts do not have as much text some do have a fair amount of text if you look back on them, in particular the recent origami post. I think some bloggers’ styles are to write more than others, but both forms are acceptable.
miss chick – i think your posts rock! i LOVE the chandelier post earlier, and cant’ wait to see if that works out. and personally i think all your pictures make the blog more enjoyable. it’s easier to see what you are envisioning for your big day.
and i don’t see why if someone didn’t like your postings, they would find it necessary to say anything at all. i’m sure everyone has favorite bees and not so favorite bees – just skip over the not so favorite bees posts. someone else probably really enjoys them.
Aww, thank you Jess! You are so sweet. Yes, I agree, if you don’t like my posts, you can say it in a constructive way, or else just skip them…
Thanks again:) I needed to hear that!
I would. Those dresses are beautiful. But I’m sure my bridesmaids would be set against the idea.
Miss Chick-
I wouldn’t worry about it. I don’t like to read a lot of the texts I’m more into the pictures. So I like. Btw… where are the BM dresses from?
Rock on Ms. Chick. I like inspiration posts, makes me get a better sense of the blogger.
@vintage2010: Thanks so much:) I believe the dresses are Alexis Adamour an they can be found at Bloomingdales.
I thought about having an entirely white wedding (like P Diddys White Party lol) and even having guests wear all white – I just didn’t want to seem bridezilla-ish and be telling ppl what they had to wear. Just thought it would be awesome!
Ps – I heart blogs with lots of pics!!!!!!
Well, as a bride who chose grey dresses, I’d say I’m still partial to your light pewter ones. 
Mander – check out this ‘whites and lights’ wedding. It looks pretty doable since men and women can wear khakis; definitely not a bridezilla scenario.

Mrs. Chick, Houston Age and Occupation: 28, Rights and Reproduction Manager Fiance's Age and Occupation: 29, Computer Programmer Engagement Date: November 15, 2008 Wedding Date: April 2010 Venue: A farm outside of Houston About Me: Mr. Chick and I met almost ten years ago at Baker Blues, a college jazz party. He was attracted to my intensity, and I was mesmerized by his trivia pursuit skills and his dorm furniture adorned with his initials. We've grown more sophisticated through the years, with our love of wine, owning a house together, and parenthood (of a cat), but we have not lost our silliness or childish sense of humor!
