The dresses!! I decided to keep my friends after the wedding and let all the girls pick their own dress. I asked that they keep them black and short. The dress, shoes, and accessories where up to them. These are their choices...
Shower Dress
I will be having 2 showers and this is one of the dresses. I found it at Nordstroms and it was on sale!
Shower #2 Dress
Since, I'm having a shower in both Oklahoma (where I'm from) and Texas (where I'm now living) I thought that I definitely need 2 shower dresses. Here is the second one. I found this one at Dillards on sale too!
Rehearsal Dinner dress
I wanted to wear white, seeing as how I am the bride and all! Again, another dress from Dillards on sale! I want to find cute blue shoes to wear to match the blue brooch that is further down on this page. I was going to wear that brooch in my hair but changed my mind. Since FGMIL bought it for me I thought I should still wear it. I decided to wear on my dress for the rehearsal and find some great blue shoes!
MOH Dress
My sister, Joanna, picked this one. She is going to wear the David's Bridal pink sash. She'll look great with the pink to distinguish her as the MOH!
BM Dress
My sister-in-law, Tara, picked this one. She had her 1st baby in April and she is nervous about this dress, but I think it will be very flattering. She's worried about her baby weight. I told her not to worry because she will look great no matter what. She stuck with her choice though.
BM Dress
Bridesmaid, Jennifer, picked this one. I'm thinking of picking this up in white to wear to the rehearsal dinner! I love this dress!
Jr. BM
Jr. Bridesmaid, Caley, picked this one. She will be 14 when we get married and her mom (FI's aunt) had a hard time with the fact that her daughter was getting old enough to wear a dress like this. In the end it was her choice to say "yes" or "no" but when it was on Caley she looked so beautiful and her mom couldn't say no!
Jr. BM
Savannah picked this Jr. Bridesmaid dress but we are going to have it shortened to match the other girls. Savannah is so tall but hasn't gotten her womanly curves yet (she's 12) and we had the hardest time trying to find her something. At one point she was trying on and fitting into flower girl dresses. It took us about 1 1/2 hours to figure out we could buy her a long dress and cut it short, but once we did she found one she liked! Thank goodness!
Flower girls
Pardon the terrible picture, it was with the phone. This is the younger flower girl wearing the dress. She is wearing blue but she will wear one shade of pink and her sister, the other flower girl, will wear the same dress in a different shade of pink. When I saw these dresses I just knew that they were perfect!
Now, my dress...
My Dress
Here is the David's Bridal picture and description:
Satin side draped A-line with beaded metallic embroidered lace, lace up back, and split back with lace appliques. Chapel train.
This is nothing that I thought I wanted, but once I put it all I cried like a baby.

This is me in the dress
Dress Bustle
I've gotten the dress altered and luckily all I needed was a hem and a bustle. Here is the bustle. I think it is a French bustle but I'm not good at remembering things like that!
Shoes
I know some ladies don't like these shoes, but I got them and thought that they were great. They are from Dessy and look and fit great!
Better shoes!
The above shoes were the original shoes, but I didn't LOVE them. So the search continued. and this is what I found. I LOVE these!
Hair Piece
I found this hair piece at a local store. It is actually a brooch but I'm hoping that my hair lady can make it work. It's perfect for my something blue and I think it'll show up nicely in my dark hair.
