Our Wedding Tuesday: Wedding Party Looks!

Written by Sara on January 5, 2010 – 9:00 am -

Good Tuesday morning! This week sure seems scatterbrained for me – J and I are in the process of moving, so it’s wonderful that I’ve been able to keep up on my regular posts this week! It’s been a great outlet for all of the frustrations of moving.

A few weeks ago, I shared with you readers my hesitations for outfitting all of my bridesmaids in the same dress for our wedding. However, after some reflection, I discovered that my hesitation did not come from not wanting my girls to wear the same dress, but instead came from my dissatisfaction with the chosen dress itself.

Here’s a reminder of what the first dress looked like:

While this gown is absolutely beautiful, I seriously struggled with how to make it appear “vintage” enough to fit in with the rest of our wedding style. The dress, while stunning, seems rather mainstream, and I definitely didn’t want my girls looking mainstream on our wedding day, or any time for that matter. My girls are special, wonderful women, and I am so thrilled that they’ve committed to stand up for me on my wedding day – I want to make them look fierce!

After a few more desperate searches online, enter our NEW chosen bridesmaid dress – a dress, I believe, that was made to chase my heart:

Beautiful, isn’t it! I love the classic silhouette of the bateau neckline, and the A-line skirt will certainly be flattering on all of my girls. However, the rosette detailing on the dress seriously stole my heart – rosettes are certainly vintage-inspired, and I couldn’t be happier with this dress. My girls love the dress, too, which is wonderful!

Stay tuned in the coming weeks for a glimpse into what our groomsmen will be wearing!
