Girls in Brown Dresses with Pink Satin Sashes

So...the bridesmaids dresses are in! I couldn't have planned it better. There are 3 styles and 6 girls, and 2 chose each dress without any suggestion for me! This was wonderful as I tend to be...ahem...minorly obsessive (okay very obsessive) about bizarre things like symmetry that I am sure no one else notices.

Here is 1 of the styles:

I love the dresses and so do the girls! The construction is high quality, the fabric is a nice blend of dressy/casual and, best of all...the dresses have pockets! However, when I thought of these dresses next to mine, it seemed like they might need a little something...

To dress them up a bit and to define waistlines in high-waisted dresses, I ordered these sashes in pearl pink from David's Bridal:

Did you add anything to your bridesmaids' dresses once you saw them in person?

$20 for Pashmina

You heard me right. I got one for myself and one for my sis (MOH). With a price that low, I couldn't resist! www.bbcrafts.com

Pretty Pink Parasols

For all of my girls to carry....2 light pink, 2 lime green, 2 fuschia and a chocolate brown one for my MOH/Little Sis. They arrived from www.idealfavors.com today. Melanie from Ideal Favors has been a pleasure to work with!

Details Cubed

It's the little things that make a big difference. I can't wait to add one of these (a "T" of course) to my bouquet.

At Last....

Will not be the title of our first dance song. No, "at last" is how I felt when I discovered this chic and elegant evening bag from Nelle. I ordered one on Friday and I can not wait until it arrives. Even the FI is excited about it because Nelle is out of Minneapolis, the closest city to his native hometown. I'll be sure to post an actual picture when it arrives!
