July 2012 Weddings

AW - I AM A MOH!! wheeeee

My lifelong BFF (and my own MOH) got engaged last week. Her now fiance took her out into the woods to look at "their" tree - last year, they went out and carved their initials into it. He told her to look at the other side of the tree, and he had carved "Alison, Will you marry me?" onto it. 

She called last night and asked me to be her MOH! I AM SO EXCITED!!!! I already started a page on pinterest to help give her ideas for her barn wedding. (so for those of you who follow me on pinterest - don't be alarmed by the sudden surge of super rustic and county pins I am pinning. I didn't suddenly change the "theme of my wedding" - it's for my MOH! haha).  

Her wedding is going to be October 20th - SO SOON - makes my 9 month engagement look like an eternity! I am so excited to start helping her plan (but probably not until I get back from my honeymoon). Except she is going to have us order our bridesmaids dresses within the next week or two since we are about at the 4 month mark - crazy!! She is letting us pick our own styles and she wants ideas that I find, so if anyone knows of any reasonably priced green bridesmaids dresses that you think are pretty, please let me know!  

Thanks for letting me AW this :)

  • YAY!!!! Congrats to all of you!!!  So exciting!!!  Check out Jasminebridal.com, their BM dresses are gorgeous =)

    or I hate to say it, but DB has a really cute green dress...I'm wearing it in my MOH's wedding in August...

    Does she want flowy or ???  I can't PIP but will later tonight.
  • congratulations!!! and tell her congrats also!!!

    i got my dress from morilee.com -- if you click the bridesmaid link then click affairs (those are the shorter dresses) or the other option (i forget the name, but they are the longer dresses)

    they range about 130-150. i don't know if that is low enough, but just thought i'd let you know!

  • Awwww cute story! If she wants to follow the carved in wood theme from her engagement, she should check out "Braggingbags" store on etsy. I bought a few cute things from there for my wedding and I have loved them all. It would be perfect for her theme.

  • How fun!  My girls are wearing green bridesmaids dresses, and we're doing a sort of rustic theme reception too.  I picked out a dress for them from Lands End (this one in "Asparagus").  They got it on sale, so it was only something like $30 including shipping.  Maybe a little informal for some people, but we're going to dress it up a little with ivory shoes, broaches on the waistline, and pearl jewlery.  I think it's something they really will wear again...and one of the girls has told me she liked it so much when it came in, she's ordering it in black too.
  • That's so adorable!!! I'm anxiously waiting for my MOH to get engaged. She's been dating for six years now- started around the same time when FI and I started dating!

  • Yay! Congrats! During my bach party weekend, one of my friends asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding and I am stoked. :) It won't be till next August in Portland, OR, so I have plenty of time to help her out . . . 4 MONTHS IS A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME!

    Ahhh that's so exciting for both of youu!! And I'll totally be following all your new pins. One of my really good friends is having a barn wedding in May. So we'll be sharing for sure!! :D
  • Awesome! Congrats!!!

    Does she have a barn picked out? Or is it like, a family barn? Just wondering since my cousin got married at a (round) barn in Kokomo last October and it was so pretty :) 4 months is CRAZY!!!

  • thanks guys!!! I am super excited!! She already has her venue and her "vision" so she is hoping everything else falls into place, and she is planning to use me as her unofficial wedding planner since I am so obsessed in general with weddings and obsessively organized with mine. I am really excited about that too, and hoping that it will help me with the dreaded wedding withdrawal that I am sure I will experience when I get back from our honeymoon in August!

    bridetobe congrats on being a bridesmaid! that's super exciting! now that I have planned a wedding myself it's so much more exciting to be in a wedding, I think :)

    owengirl it's actually a barn on the southside of Indianapolis. It isn't a round barn, but it has really high ceilings and incredible chandeliers in it and it looks like something that should be on Style Me Pretty!

    and thanks for all the suggestions about dresses! I can't wait to spend hours looking at them, haha. The asparagus color sounds promising!!
  • Oh Congrats on being asked to be MOH! Such an honor! And you will be the best MOH every since you know what it's like planning your wedding :-)

    For bridesmaid dresses, any of the big brands like Alfred Sung, Morilee, Jasmine, etc. Find them in stores and order from Netbride.com. They are based in the US, have a real wharehouse and the prices are like 50-70% off bridal store prices. You email them the style number and designer of the dress you want and they will email you back with their price. I was so happy with buying with them. My Alfred Sung bridesmaid dresses are perfect, originals, perfect color, and cost $110/each(normally $250) and they shipped in a month earlier than I was promised. (Came in about 2 months from order date)

  • Your friend is obviously insane for planning a wedding in about 4 months.  :)

    Congrats!  Being a MOH really is such an honor.  Have fun planning with your friend... she's lucky you're so proactive!

  • hehehe. People told me I was insane for planning one in 9 months. But we are doing great so far. :-D I told her she was even more insane than I am, but K8888, I am about the most proactive person I know. I have already scheduled my BFF's bachelorette party and her brunch bridal shower :-D
  • Yay! So happy for you! How cool that you guys get to go through the whole thing so close together!
