We just got engaged three weeks ago - the wedding is next May... and it seems like there are no spring bridesmaid dresses out there. Our theme is Beach and I want less formal - aka no shiny. David's Bridal and Alfred Angelo don't seem to have anything no winter/fall. Not sure when their spring stuff comes out (I'll check when i go in on Thursday). J Crew said their spring stuff doesn't come out till February! That's so late!
