But finding out I was going to be an aunt, I knew that I needed to find a dress ASAP, and that worked with the extra lil bridal party member. I finally ended up in David's bridal after searching all boutiques in the Tampa bay area none of which had my "blue" or the price point. I was reluctant to go into David's because it is so commercial / and doesn’t' have a very good customer service rep. But in we went (Court, my mom, & I).
My first question was “Can I see your color swatches please?" There it was the, the blue I was thinking of.... Now to find a dress... Coco was a good sport and tried on a few and we found one we all liked but it wasn’t in stock in the color except for a size 2 which in bridal world is a ZERO! SOOO I had my first Bridezilla-ish moment and asked the sales girl to please put it on so I could imagine it and see if it all worked....
She really was a good sport about the whole thing =)
The dress is elegant yet comfortable and .. it has POCKETS! =) The black band is removable so you guys can later have an all blue dress or a blue and black dress. Also the band does not have a bow or anything it is more like a belt/cummerbund than a sash. Originally I was going to add a feather to your black band but have officially decided not to. You will be holding flowers during the ceremony so the feather would not be visible, until the reception and that is just silly. Plus I don’t want a feather over dose. I have done my little Photoshop magic and paired it with the look I have selected for the groomsmen. The grooms me will be wearing a classic black tux with a black vest. The blue of the tie is the same as the blue of your dress.
I have also been wanting to ask you girls.....
How do you feel about the walk in with the boys or solo? I am leaning towards together to shorten the mass, plus I like the idea of pairs…. Since I have already mentally paired you ladies up with the corresponding boy… LOL… but I am also considering showcasing you girls…. Whatcha think?
Besitos~ Adri
