Wedding Woes: Bridesmaid Dresses and Colors-163 days left


I hope this looks great on everyone, because After the BFF showed me this I thought this was the perfect thing to tie in the classy and vintage look the best. I love the high neck line, and I don't believe anyone has the kind of figure that would do the top wrong. It's also tight on the rib cage.. so it allows there to be some extra stomach action if there needs to be. And it's just short enough that they won't be smoking hot (regarding temperature--I want my bridesmaids to feel awesome on my wedding day... better pictures ;)>) in their Indian Summers at Tahoe. (Pack for both great and horrible weather just in case!) It also doesn't look like it will look bad with the white shirt underneath one of the dresses for the bridesmaid who needs it, nor will it be too short for her.

The colors--in order of Matron of Honor to last bridesmaid: Bordeaux (purple), Firecracker (red/pink goodness), Sunflower (yellow), and Latte (for the only one that can't drink it, haha). The Apple Slice (green) is just 1 more color..  no bridesmaid, I just needed a green to go off of and I liked that one. 

Next on the bridesmaid attire agenda.... Shoes!! What kind of shoes do you suggest? Here's a little info so you'll be able to help.

Ages: 13-29??
Height: 5'-5'8" ish
Location: on grass/dirt, heels may poke through and make it hard to walk.
Bouquet: clutches (no flowers)


Super-future thoughts: Bridesmaid's accessories. Necklace/Earrings/headbands/etc. I'm thinking anything they already have. My only requirement is that it's silver if it's jewelry. I don't have any hair style in mind for them, but I thought they could get creative on their own. Besides, I'll be having one of them and their mom doing my hair... so nothing fancy.

Thanks for the help!!

Do you think the colors = fall? ish? haha. The colors we get around here, they all match, but you won't be able to tell in September. maybe if it was October/November. But that's getting into the dangerous season. Dangerous meaning it's gonna poor.

I'll keep trying to post these things at least every other day. (hopefully daily). It helps a lot with getting it "on paper" and not having to worry about it anymore.
