hate to say it but I think I liked the Fern better

MeaghanandMichael did BMs dresses close to that color.

I like mocha better than fern.

Hooray!!

SIL used chocolate brown, green and cream for the wedding colors.  It turned out great.

But I didn't wear a dress that also had a garbage bag holder at the bottom.

Sorry...that one is just NMS.

I don't mind the dress, but I don't like the pickup skirt, other than that, I think it's cute. I obviously missed the backstory.

crfische

Thanks, Lynda!

The coffee bean is much better than the house plant.

crfische

Yeah, that's not the dress she has picked...yet.

OOOO I will go stalk meaghan.

lyndausvi

as you can see I had a short WP...

edit - why is it blury?

txmom21

Is that the actual dress or just the color?

I like the mocha better, but part of that is the satin in the dress (I know that's not the dress your friend picked). Satiny mocha is much prettier than chiffon mocha, so I hope it goes it that direction for you.

SO FAR, just the color. Emphasis on SO FAR.

When I click on it, it isn't blurry lynda. Very pretty.

Huge improvement from the fern.  Hope it continues to move in a positive direction.

note - tropical storm arrived on my wedding.. Everything had to be moved under a tent.  The wedding was not what I had planned.  Please to do not think I choose to have a pole in the middle of the aisle.

GASP! Where did you get the finger crossing!

My cousin's wife picked brown dresses.  My crazy aunt said that she picked it just so that everyone would look awful and she would look better. 

My aunt is nuts.

Although I'm not a fan of brown, I like that a lot better than the fug green.

mwhitson14

one of my girls will be wearing brown.




She's pretty tall though and the dress actually is about knee length.

ETA: I am on a mac, so I can drag them onto my desktop and put them in a folder for later.  Then, I just add it like a regular PIP.

Well that bubble skirt is less than awesome, but I am likely using brown (chocolate... or maybe copper, which isn't really true brown, but it looks brownish at Alfred Angelo!). I'm a lame bride and have nothing accomplished in said color, though. (In fact, BM dresses may be the only brown I have. Maybe table runners.)

If she's using brown and green... well, it could be a lot worse. The shades she likes are off, but you know its impossible to find everything in the same shade anyway.

And WTF is she updating you every day with her color preferences? Does she email a BM newsletter?

If I had a bio, it would be brown.

Much better. I wore chocolate brown to my MOH's wedding. this was a couple of years ago and she did the oh-so-trendy chocolate brown and pink scheme.

Brie2010

Didn't heels use brown?  Or am I making things up again?

crfische

Well, I was perhaps a little annoying yesterday about the fern thing, and she showed it to her mom and mom was all HELL TO THE NO.

So now we have mocha. But I think she's going to do it with fally yellows, reds, oranges...

salt78

I don't love the bubble hem, but otherwise I think that dress is really cute. I'm a fan of mocha. The poster and the color.

MeaghanandMichael

oh oh pick mine pick mine!!

crfische

Ha! I just sent her Heels' and yours, Meaghan!

Is she planning for next fall? When is the wedding?

I'm doing fall-ish colors, so I'm no stranger to THAT cliché. At least it will be normal looking.

It goes to show any color can have a really bad shade or two. My mom STILL complains about a BLUE dress she wore in a wedding in 1980 because it was a really dead cornflower/gray blue which everyone hated. And I didn't think it was possible to do a bad blue.

I felt bad after your post yesterday because I went bio-surfing and a girl had picked out the exact dress with the same/similar color..

I felt bad, but it was funny. But bad..

Do you know who makes this dress? I picked out a dress almost identical to it from David's Bridal but I would like to try to save my girls some money if possible.
