After contemplating a cute, but probably too-casual dress on Etsy, and then a better-on-the-hanger Anthropologie dress, the Cinnamaids have something to wear!
We never really went on shopping trips together - we had the one abortive trip to Anthro, and then I sent them various links to things. It was getting late in planning to not have these booked, so I went and put down a deposit with Amanda Archer for two dresses. Now, I’m not that controlling a bride - it was a dress both ladies had seen pictures of and had said would be nice to wear.

Painted Roses Dress by Amanda Archer on Etsy.
We’re getting it in a nice teal colour called Glacier.
Going the custom route really was the best choice for us, as there is a 10″ height difference between my two maids of honour. Oddly enough, there isn’t a 10″ difference in the length of the dresses from shoulder to hem. I guess A’s height is mostly in her legs, not torso? That difference can also be length preference, I told them knee-ish, above or below, whichever makes them feel best.
Accessories and shoes I am not planning on planning. They’re not clones, and although I wanted them in the same dress, I don’t want them to be exact replicas of each other, that would be silly! One has short spiky pink-and-black hair (currently!) and the other has straight blonde hair. They are both free to accessorize as they choose. It also takes that stress off me! ![]()
It is so great to have that checked off the list too. Now everyone has clothes to wear! Well, the groomsmen are responsible for their own black suits, so I don’t know how they’re getting on. We’re probably going to cover their vests, and shoes if we go with something other than black dress shoes.
Did you buy any clothes online for the wedding?
