Frocks For My Friends

July 20th, 2009 @ 9:30 am by Mrs. Powder Puff

I’ve gotten a lot of questions and comments about my bridesmaids’ fabulous dresses, so I thought I’d take a quick little break from my recaps to let you know how that look all came together.

It was basically born out of laziness. I knew that I did not have the desire or the energy to pick out a dress for my girls that they would all…

Polka Dotted Bridesmaids

July 14th, 2009 @ 12:26 pm by Mrs. Star

Having a polka dot motif certainly opened us up to a lot of cool options for everything — from cake, to bow details, to pretty paper, to bridesmaid attire! The struggle for me has been to balance my concern about having too few polka dots versus having too many. The perfect polka dot balance is a tough one to strike.

So when I first started thinking…

Mrs. Mouse, Austin Age and Occupation: 25, Attorney Fiance's Age and Occupation: 31, Civil Engineer Engagement Date: December 19, 2007 Wedding Date: September 2009 Venue: Barr Mansion About Me: I just graduated from law school and will be taking the bar, getting married, going on a honeymoon with my guy, and then trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I was born and raised in a small East Texas town, but I'm no country girl! I'm obsessed with British accents, fantasy (including Harry Potter, of course), and classic rock. My fiance and I consider ourselves both music and beer snobs--but every once in awhile we love to hear a crappy band and drink a cheap brew or two. We're planning an eco-friendly, casual, English garden affair for the end of summer, and we can't wait for it to get here!

Bridesmaids Dresses Remix

July 3rd, 2009 @ 10:45 am by Mrs. Mouse

Going along with my ever-present theme of changing my mind about every possible wedding-related detail, I did the unthinkable and changed plans on my bridesmaids after I’d already asked them to buy their dresses. Before you think I’m a horrible person, please hear me out!

I had originally been planning a pomegranate and gold color scheme, and I found these cute, classic pomegranate-colored dresses (called vintage…

J.Crew, How I Adore Thee

July 1st, 2009 @ 2:45 pm by Mrs. Cloud

I decided what I wanted my bridesmaids to wear approximately three years ago. Yes, you read that correctly, THREE YEARS AGO. Long, long long, before we were engaged. One of my adorable bridesmaids, BM N and I share a wonderful obsession—our mutual admiration of all things J.Crew. About two years ago we fell upon the Cotton Cady Lindsey dress.

I love crafting, blogging, laughing and dreaming. I know every word to the Anne of Green Gables and Little Women movies. I own every single Martha Stewart Wedding Magazine and have been dreaming of weddings since I was little. I believe life is about doing what makes you happy.

If you want to start a company - start a company. If you want to blog – blog!

Everyone is talking about this wedding dress on the blogs, and i will admit - it is stunning! But check out those bridesmaid dresses!!! Those are the same ones that I am having, and in the exact same combination - 2 with straps, and 3 strapless. Mine aren’t in this color, but wow, wow, wow! They look great! I love the 2 different colors here,…

I'm planning my Oregon coast summer camp wedding while abroad with my best friend - I'm always at home when I'm with him!
About Mrs. Bear Cub

I feel kinda funny telling my friends what they should wear. Who am I to tell them to buy a $150(ish) dress they might (probably not) wear again? If my bridesmaids want to all wear the same dress, same color, that’s fine by me, but I want them to be comfortable in what they wear to my wedding.

A comfortable bridesmaid is a happy bridesmaid, and a…

I love art (all kinds). I don't have any secrets. I talk a lot and listen even more. I show love by baking. I'm timid by nature, but brave when it counts. Mr. Bunny and I work at competing weekly newspapers, which makes it a little interesting trying to describe our work joys and frustrations without giving away too much before the paper comes out. In spite of that little hurdle, we've managed to build a pretty solid relationship in the short one-and-a-half years we will have been together when we tie the knot. I can't wait!
About Mrs. Bunny

Where did I leave off? Oh yes! Bridesmaids!

After I was pretty much settled on my dress, I sat down to wait for my mother and aunt to arrive as Sunny, Funny and Honey started trying on possible bridesmaid’s dresses.

Once again, I can’t show photos because they weren’t allowed, but here’s a photo of the three of them:

About Mrs. Bunny

Okay, not quite one hundred. But it kinda felt like it after we’d been out for a few hours.

We started out the morning with a brunch of yagels — egg bagel sandwiches.

I’d made appointments at two different stores and had plans to visit a third that didn’t require appointments for bridesmaids. We headed to that store first, but discovered it wouldn’t open until noon.

So instead…

I'd wear anything at Anthropologie and could spend all day on Etsy. I love to travel but shouldn't because I always get myself into unbelievable situations!

Different Dress Dilemma

May 14th, 2009 @ 12:30 pm by Mrs. Joey

No. There is no problem with my dress. I still love it. The dilemma is with sister/MOH Joey’s dress.

We bought her dress months ago, way back in September, I think. This cute little number was the perfect shade of yellow, came in petite, and was on sale.

9 months later, we both still love her dress, but now were worried it won’t fit. Having just experienced…

Dressing the Maids

Last Friday I received the call that my bridesmaids’ dresses had arrived. Thank goodness, as I was starting to get nervous. See, only 2 of 7 live here in town, and I had to ship everyone’s dresses out to them. I was concerned that we were running out of time for alterations and such.

So, I scurried over to the shop, picked up the dresses, and…

Unfortunately, since Jinny’s doesn’t allow photos unless you have already purchased something, I don’t have pictures of…

I knew from wedding planning day 1 that I wanted my ladies to wear yellow. Especially after our venue was chosen, I wanted to put them in a color that would POP against the green background of the winery’s gazebo.

This was also about the time I nixed the color green from our color scheme. There was already so much green surrounding our venue; why would…

Hive, I’ve finally made a decision on bridesmaid dresses. Thank you for voting and giving me your opinions! They were so helpful. What I’ve come up with is a collaboration of all of my thoughts so far.

The Silk Taffeta Trial

May 1st, 2009 @ 1:38 pm by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

Well, hive. After getting my lil’ heart set on J.Crew’s barely peach fall color, I ordered in a couple of their silk taffeta styles to try them on. My favorites were the Lorelei and the strapless Sangle, so I just picked whichever colors weren’t back-ordered and went for it. If I loved these dresses, I realized I’d be even more confused than I was before…

We’re Kindred Spirits!

April 30th, 2009 @ 10:29 am by Mrs. Cowboy Boot

Yes, Mr. Cowboy Boot and I are kindred spirits, but I was actually referring to J.Crew. It seems they’ve embraced my color scheme in their summer collection. Or… maybe I subconsciously started seeing these colors around, gravitated towards them, and selected them. You’re right, J.Crew’s summer colors were probably just a coincidence. Either way (hehe), head to their homepage and you’ll see elements of peach,…
