Now that we’ve covered our men-folk, it’s time to focus on the good stuff—my bridesmaids!

Oh, what’s that? You want to check out our super-killer-mega-awesome butterfly bouquets?

Guys, HOW MUCH DO THESE ROCK?!? Holy crow, they photographed so beautifully. And for 13 dollars a pop, you really can’t beat ’em. I’m displaying mine, and know of my other gals who are too. I love that they’ll last for years, and still look beautiful. Okay, okay, I’ll stop patting myself on the back now and share more pictures. Sorry.

Look at all my stunning ‘maids! I love how they mixed up the boots with brown and black. Super cute, they all look fab. Hmmm….their faces seem a bit too far away to fully admire all the loveliness…

It’s a bride sandwich! Or maybe a wrap. Whatever. After the nice lineups, we tried to do the whole “pretend you’re laughing at something hilarious!” shot. Here’s a nice sequence of how horrible we all were. Turns out we all like to guffaw with our eyes closed and mouths gaping wide. Lovely.

Pretty pretty pictures? Hmm….not so much. We did, however, take shots like the groomsmen. I love these, I want to print them all to keep around my house so whenever I feel blue I can remember how much I love these chicas!

I would like to point out I have equal representation of blondes and brunettes, with myself adding that ginger spice. I tried to talk Scott into a BvB shot, but he wasn’t too into it.

I know how tiring it is to hear, “Aren’t my ’maids the loveliest ladies you’ve EVER SEEN?” But for the realz, guys, they’re smokin’ hot. Except bottom middle, because she’s only 13, and is not allowed to be smokin’ hot until she’s at least 30. The two young blondies are the mister’s little sisters, and totally rock. And if you look closely, Stacie, my bottom right bridesmaid, is wearing the coolest earrings I’ve ever seen. They’re stars, but more like rock stars! OK, I’m lame. But I eyed them all night and kind of wish I could Control-C those suckers and paste them into my jewelry box. Just sayin’.

I insisted on a shot with Bestie C, my hair and makeup stylist! She’s not normally a Goliath (well, she is 5’10″), but she’s wearing these killer heels to go with her killer dress. And I’m a weenie 5’4″ in boots, so I’m a shrimp compared to her. She’s my Amazon Goddess.

Next up, a mini-shoot with moi, and my bouquet of butterflies.

Those butterfly bouquets look so vibrant! I just love how they pop against their black dresses. And all of those boots are too darn cute.

I wasn’t sure how I like the butterfly bouquets when you first debuted them, but they are totally awesome! Everyone looks so happy and cheerful in the pics, and the bright lil’ butterflies just add to it!

Beautiful bouquets!!! And “Control-C those suckers and paste them into my jewelry box” HA! You crack me up. I had to read that twice to get it and it was worth the second read.

@Mrs. Hot Wings: I’m just glad you got it! I was struck with brilliance and was hoping to share it with the world. Wouldn’t that be such a nice real-life feature? It’s like the Easy Button, only way better!
