About Mrs. High Wire

One weeknight evening my lovely MOH and I did a little shopping for her maid-of-honor dress. She was looking for something holly green, knee length, and anything un-shiny as per my requests, but could choose any dress of her liking under those parameters.

Reggie, our sales associate for the evening, kept us busy with dresses to try on all evening.

Care for some stains on the bust? Then purchase this lovely number.

This one got a no:

Wrong length!

We were loving the cotton sateen selections they had.

I liked the neckline on this one:

Didn’t have much else going for it, though.

Then things started to get a little silly.

I entertained myself while she changed.

Look how pretty. :)

The dress will be in David’s Bridal color “holly”—similar to this swatch I sent the girls with their bridesmaid newsletter:

And I know it will look b-e-a-utiful!

This was the same dress that I kept going back to when thinking about bridesmaids’ dresses for our shindig. I’m so glad she wound up liking it, too!!

I’m so impressed that you have such an empty David’s Bridal. Mine went something like this:

I love that you can see Reggie laughing in the mirror when your MOH is trying on the blue full length dress! And, I have pictures of my bridesmaids trying on many of the same dresses. I’m glad you guys had fun trying on dresses. It’s one of those things that can either suck or be super fun- and if you can make it super fun you have to!

That seems to be a very popular dress with BMs lately. Does it have pockets?

I tried on so many of those dresses for the wedding I was in last month :) I ended up choosing the same dress you chose, but in Malibu (bright blue)… It DOES have pockets! I love how flattering and modest it is (I was popping out the top of so many dresses! haha)

I actually like that blue dress with the sparkles. Believe it or not, I found the same dress in my size, in my favorite color, at Goodwill a few weeks ago, for $10. You better believe I snatched it up (thinking the whole time that it was probably someone’s old bridesmaid dress!) and am so excited to wear it. Probably to a nice dinner or something - I like how it’s semi-formal so I could wear it to a wedding, or casual so I could wear it to dinner :)

One of my posse wore this dress and I loved it. She actually found hers on ebay for $30. Even sweeter.
