Very cute!
I only worry that the shape might not work for everyone.

I think it makes her bust look really small.  Are all your BMs really skinny and small?

The shape is kind of weird since that dress was pinned back on her. It was 4 sizes too big. All of my girls are under a size 8. I would be more conscious of a large print if they were different sizes.

Being that they're all skinny (under size 8), I think it's really cute.  There was someone a while back who got married and her BMs wore skirts similar to that pattern and they had bright yellow flowers and it was all very cute.  Since the dresses are busier, I would keep the bouquets simple, maybe just one color.

I love that they are so different!  I agree with the simple flowers idea though!

UGH - so I have to be under a size 8 to be skinny!?!  Crap...I'll be on GIS for the remainder of the day...

PS - DanielleD, I like them!

Thanks all! I was hoping to get positive responses! I was originally planning on doing the green hydrangeas, but am nervous about them. I had another post going about it to get responses on hydrangeas. Any other suggestions on a green flower? I also thought mums could look good.

Whatever you use, make sure it's a solid color, nothing too busy.

I didn't mean anything by it.  I'm a size 12 and consider myself average.  If I were a size 8, I would consider myself skinny.

I think they're cute, but I would be worried that if you have too many BMs, it might look busy in pictures.  I would definitely stick to a one color flower.

I like the idea, but personally I would like them better if they were short.

I like the pattern, even if it's a bit busy.  I hate the straps... I think it would look more balanced if thicker straps were added; though I'm biased.

One of the very cool things about the dress, is after the wedding they can be hemmed to the knee and make super cute summer dresses.  I love a BM dress you can wear again.

DanielleD7782

This dress is actually strapless. My sister just had on a bra with clear straps for her modeling debut .

And Lyss- I really wanted to have short dresses, but my mom won over on long ones. It wasn't worth arguing over it with her since she was so passionate about long dresses.

I know...I'm just down on myself haha.  The ice cream cake they put in front of us at work won't help my cause, right??

I think they're cute! If you have a chance, I think it would be great to have a few girls put on the dress and stand next to each other so you can see how it'll look on multiple people. What are your colors?
