What Have I Been Up To?

So I have completely slacked on posting because, well, it took a back seat to the actual planning of the wedding. But today's a good day:

-We get married 1 month from today (almost to the hour)
-The bridesmaid dresses came in today
-My last fitting was today
-And my mother's dress is in as are all the tux measurements

So, basically, we all get to wear clothes at the wedding!

Sweet.

Here's one found by the Sister of the Bride on Lazaro Bride's site.

Of course, this is related to Jim Hjelm which I already love.

I gotta keep the MOH happy, so here are some more beautiful dresses from Jim Hjelm:

Jim Hjelm Occasions

Possible bridesmaids dress:

From the Jim Hjelm Occasions collections. The above is shown in one of the colors I'm considering.
The fiance approves as it is "close to burnt orange". The question is, how will it go with red and yellow roses?

Bridesmaid Dress

I love this one by Watters & Watters.

I'm surprised I'm drawn to a dress with a pattern, but I love the style and think it would be flattering and, dare I say it, reusable.

I also love this one which is a similar style, but sans the pattern.

I'm really hoping I can find something that's attractive and flattering without being too expensive.

For the Bridesmaids

Among the small number of things I know about the wedding thus far involve the length of the bridesmaids dresses and the probable color.

I love the Sophia dress from J.Crew:

I actually own it in dark green and pretty much wear it to every party I can. If the come out with a bronze one we're in.


While we're on J.Crew, here is the first bridal gown I can actually picture myself in:

It's actually the same dress as above in a gown instead of knee length but I think it's just gorgeous. Not sure it's bridal enough but everything else I've seen just doesn't look like me.
