Bridesmaid Dresses!

Ok, first and foremost, I would like everyone to know that the following photos are just suggestions. That's right ladies, I want YOU to have the freedom to pick out your own dress. Whatever and wherever you want to get them from is totally up to you, because it's important to wear a dress that you love (why would you want to buy a style you don't like or want, right?).

With that said, there are a few guidlines:
1. The color i'd like you all to stick to is any dark shade of red
2. The length i'd like to stick to is knee length (aka. cocktail)
3. Please no patterns, just solid color


Here are a few styles I thought were cute when I was browsing:

From Alfred Angelo:

From Eden Bridal:


From Dillards Online:


So that's everything I've got for now, but please let me know what you think!
And when you find the dress you love, I'd love to see it!

Bride's Dress

Just wanted to give everyone an idea of what my dress is going to look like, since the whole ceremony/outfits/customs are going to be a little unconventional. Ivan and I decided to do a mix of a Navajo Traditional wedding and the typical white wedding. Let me know if you have any questions about it; I'll eventually have a blog explaining the Navajo wedding traditions. But for now, here's the dress:



(the red one is an example of what design it will be, and the other photo is an example of what the whole outfit looks like).














Hello Bridesmaids!

Hello Bridesmaids! You know who you are :)
I decided to start this blog for all of us because unfortunately we don't all live in the same town, and I thought this would be a really great way for us to keep in touch about all the wedding planning to ensue.
So this is just the intro blog to welcome all of you to the site. I'll be posting some stuff in the near future (like bridesmaid's dresses and such!). I hope you guys are as excited as I am!
