Dress Happy

Today thanks to a bit of organisation, most of my bridesmaids and I got together and went bridesmaids dress shopping (we didn’t neglect the final bridesmaid she’s on compulsory bed rest and hopefully recovering speedily!). Having been slightly starved of girly attention for a while, it was a real tonic to be around the girls that I’ve grown up with. 

We started off by heading off into Watford, straight into one of our local department stores. We were looking for dresses that suited each of the girls, that went with my dress, and possibly matched in with my colour scheme of yellow and white. When we arrived we picked out three lovely dresses and then the real fun began. Playing “dress up”.

The two dresses on the left were the initial favorite, our front runner, and the yellow was just because it looked kinda pretty.

A quick intro to them my best friend Abi, Sammy my cousin and Katy my sister, I promise pictures of Jamie to follow later. The two dresses on the left were the initial favorite, our front runner, and the yellow was just because it looked kinda pretty.

then they all swapped dresses around to see what the different dresses looked like on them. Katy kept describing the white dress as something from the sound of music, though i think she does look cute in it.

More and more dresses Katy trying on the sound of music dress (oh the excitement on her face) and Sammy trying on different sizes. Sometimes they look more like sisters than Katy and i do, guess I'm just lucky to be related to them.

These were universally hated! but certainly gave us all a bit of a giggle.

A bit more of a folly dress with the draped neck, they loved the pockets but said that they really didn't feel special enough. The strapless dress went down a lot better but the poor quality of make just destroyed our opinion of it.

These were a few more yellow dresses that seemed to remind us all of Tinkerbell!? A little too much going on on the dress i think.

Then finally we found the one that got all the girls excited and prancing around the changing room getting excited about pockets in the dresses, the types of shoes that they could wear with it and what sort of jewellery would go. So as most good shoppers know when you start thinking about the shoes to go with the dress, you’ve found the right dress!

Too me they look incredibly beautiful and they all adore the dresses, i mean they have pockets!!! and on the label it says lemon, so i got the yellow dresses that i had hoped to have them in.

So now we just need to find the shoes and the rest of the bridesmaids gear, lets hopes its as easy as finding these dresses!
