Hi Ladies!!
I am planning to head out on Saturday to start the search for my Bridesmaids dresses. Any ideas where to look?? I am having such a hard time picking a set color too. I figured if I wait until I actually see what is out there and what we all like then I can decide. I really like the bright colors (we are getting married in August this year), but then again I feel like the room should have pale colors, such a pale pinks and ivory.

And one more thing :) ....I totally want to change my wedding date to June because my absolute favorite flower, Peony, is out of season in August and there is no guarentee that any one can actually get them from other countries then. I want a big full flower, any other suggestions on other types of flowers in August? I kind of want to stay away from the typical rose...

Thanks :) :)

Stephanie

I am getting married in August and also want peonies. My florist (JUst For You) told me that it may be possible to get peonies in August but if she can't she will use garden roses or cabbage roses. They are fuller and look more like peonies than roses.

Garden roses:

Or you could use dahlias:

Also, where are you getting married? That can have a lot to do with your colors.

Oh my gosh I'm getting married in August too and we haven't met with the florists yet, but I wanted almost all my flowers to be peonies. I'm heartbroken.
