THIS is the year I get married. What?! Crazy. But seriously, reality has smacked me in the face on Jan 1st knowing that I would be celebrating my wedding day in EXACTLY 4 MONTHS!! What happened to the time?? Everyone kept saying "you've got time" and now, I don't! Aaah!
So, back to business I guess. The MOH (Maid of Honor, duh!) is going to be the only one standing during the ceremony, so realistically she should be the only one wearing a specific dress we pick out, leaving the bridesmaids to wear what they want, right? Or no?
The bridesmaids will walk down the aisle and will be in pictures. I was thinking of doing a separate flower/corsage/boutonniere for bridal party. I don't know. If money wasn't an option for anybody (and it is for everybody) then I'd pick out different dresses in the exact same color, and same length for everyone - and it would be one they could wear again.
As of today, Kelly (MoH) and I have decided to see about dying the dress I wore in my engagement photos a blue color. I know I got my moneys-worth because I bought it at a thrift store for $7.
This is the winner
If we are able to dye it blue, that is the dress she will wear. Here's another dress I had her try on. I found it in mint condition at a thrift store for $10 (the tag is still on it, little yellow thing in the corner - not part of the dress). It's the right color and fits well, but I prefer tea length and I don't think Kelly was crazy about it.
And lastly, this may be just me showing off a bit, this is a dress I sewed. It's an olive black color with gold highlights. And it looks pretty good. Now, if we just go with, "wear whatever, who cares" then someone could wear this!
Thoughts? Theories? Zen moments of merriment and wonder? ... yeah, I don't know what that means either.

You showed that dress, Annie?! That is amazing!! It's also very beautiful!! I know that doesn't really help with your dilemma, but had to say it. How hard was it to sow? My mom sows a bit and I have made a dress before. I could take my hand at it...with her help of course.
I think it's perfectly fine if we all wear different dresses. All we have to do is choose a dress in a similar color and maybe length. We can finalize colors next weekend and then everyone go dress hunting! Or dress-making...
I just don't want it to be too pricey. Nothing over $40.
