Ideas for your Dresses

Ok... So I have done a bit of research on this, and I have narrowed down to a dress that i really liked. Only problem is that it is too $$$ and it isn't really the color I was looking for. I would like for your dresses to be the blue ( more of a peacock neck or Capri) with black empire or some sort of black detail. I think I can easily get someone to make this. Preferably the dress will have an empire waist, and more of an edgy look rather than boring ol traditional bridesmaid. I want you guys to feel and be able to wear this dress again.

This is what I was thinking about. ( material & embellishment may be in question, but generally the dress is what I like) I photo shopped these images of the dress to get the blue I am thinking of. The original dress color is aqua.

I have gotten a few other dresses from some of you but Lucy found a website that Carries ALL lines, and at really good prices. I have included the link so that if you are bored you can surf this site Then post the link in the comments section of any dress you may think works.

Venues-- ugh!

Hi Ladies!

Soo Wes and I have been venue shopping and we are getting close to finalizing it. First we went to NOVA 535- VERY COOL modern space, but too $$ and to be honest the flow of the space doesn't really work with a typical wedding reception. We then looked at some of the St. Pete beach resorts (Sirata /Grand / TradeWinds ) and decided that most are dated and not really our style. Plus we are trying to stay away from a reception site that has walls with no windows. We then went to the Vinoy, in down town. Beautiful hotel but too $$ and also the ballrooms are way too big for the number of people we want to invite. I still want to look at the Mahaffey Theater Ball Room (down town), but they have been impossible to get a hold of so that leaves me wondering what it will be like to work with them on the whole wedding. So as of now we are leaning towards the Rusty Pelican in Tampa. Below is a list of some Pros and Cons (according to me ) of the Rusty Pelican.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Pros:

-View of the Bay & Sunset

-Price includes(venue/all food/all booze including champ. toast/tables/chairs/lines/chair covers/chair ties/wedding cake/free hotel room for Wes & I / take down/ and set up)

-Close to Airport

-Close to hotels

Cons:

-not close to church (30 min drive)

-is smack in the middle between downtown st. pete and down town tampa. and about 45 mins from the beaches.

-not much to site see/do in the surrounding area with out driving 20 mins

Welcome!!

Ok......

I never thought that when I would be planning the "big" day I would be away from those who I luv the most! I have been trying to figure out a way to share what I'm thinking about, and this is what i came up with. I thought this would be the best way for all of us to keep in touch and share ideas.
