Bridal party attire


I have done it. I have finally figured out what kind of dresses to get for the six lovely ladies that will be in my wedding. I thought I had figured it out before, and then David's Bridal decided to discontinue the dress I had my eye on! I wanted all the girls to be able to wear a dress that made them feel comfortable since they're all different body types. More importantly I wanted them to like the dress I picked seeing as how they are paying for it. I was pretty set on having them all dressed the same since I like the 'uniformed' look, but my bridesmaids like different styles and I wanted to make sure they all looked good in a style that complimented their figures. With my OCD nature, obviously this presented a problem haha Fortunately I have an even number of bridesmaids and together we decided that three will wear a dress with a halter neckline and three will wear a strapless style. The colors and length will be the same so I think it will coordinate nicely. I got the pics below from the DB website. The dresses will be in azalea pink with a truffle brown peek-a-boo skirt and sash. My maids will also be carrying bouquets of orange flowers to tie in all three colors I'm using. I just wish they offered the sashes and skirt option in espresso brown instead since it matches better with my color scheme, but I guess you win some and you lose some right? As for FI's men, he has decided on chocolate brown suits with tonal pinstriping details. I would never have considered dark brown suits before, but it actually looks really good! They will have orange bouts to match the girls bouquets and we've opted to just do a pink tie without a vest to avoid pepto-bismol overload and ruining the boys' masculinity ;)

The wedding party I'm in is wearing the strapless dress you have shown here, but three are wearing it in Pool with an Oasis sash, and the MOH is wearing an Oasis dress with a Pool sash. We have BMs with very different body types, and this one flatters us all. We're also adding straps. Great choice on BM dresses! :)
