BM dresses - CHECK! (PIP)

PeachesKFG

I placed the order for my BM dresses on Saturday! One more check off the list!

I went into Mariella's on Saturday.....Side note: I do like Mariella's, but I have to say, I don't really like how small and cramped the dressing room for bridesmaids is. It was a little hectic on Saturday, I felt a bit rushed...but either way, I ordered the dresses and I'm glad by BMs can go online to enter their measurements and place deposits. very convenient!

So anyways, here is a pic of the dress - It is a Belsoie by Jasmine Bridal, and we ordered it in Black. (I couldn't find a picture of the back of the dress in black, so the pic of the back is red. But we got black). I can't wait to see all my girls in it!

I have two maids of honor and I am trying to figure out how I can make them stand out (since they are wearing the same dress as all of the other BMs). I'm thinking we will do slightly larger bouquets for them, with some different colors. That way, they have a slight difference from the rest of the girls.

Very nice.  I have to agree about Mariella's on a Saturday.  I refuse to go there on Saturdays, luckily they are open til 8 on Thursdays (and maybe one other day).  On another note, my MOH is wearing the same royal blue dress as my BM's so she is standing out with different flowers.  She will have all orange gerbera daisies, the BM's will have yellow, and FG's will have fuschia.  I will have a combination of all of them.  Sounds kind of tacky, but I saw a picture of all of the bouquets together and liked it.  This is what mine will look like:

Very pretty dress! Congrats on the check!
The BM dress that me and my girls picked out is also from the Jasmine Belsoie collection.

And I agree that your MOHs can stand out with different flowers.

Love the back of the dress! Such a fun check...also, I agree with different flowers...or maybe some sort of hairpiece?

Amanda, I imagine Thursdays are not quite as hectic as Saturdays...but even on a Saturday, I was in and out within 15 minutes. It's a very quick process. I like the way Mariella's handles the order forms. Congrats on the check!

Very pretty! I agree with the flowers or what about shoes? Do you have another color that you are using for a pop of color? Like if you are using a bright pink/fushia, why don't you have your bridesmaids wear some kind of silver/black/neutral color and then have your MOH's wear some nice hot pink shoes! That would certainly make them stand out as well.  I think if you aren't doing flowers that clearly break them apart like the PP with pink, orange and yellow, you could do a subtly different bouquet as well as the flowers so that it's not overwhelming but just perfect
