dressing the bridal party

as you probably know finding anything
in the tiffany/aqua color was pretty much
near impossible. so impossible- i wanted
to give up on the whole idea!
glad to say that i didn't give up on it!
everything worked out!

the girls

i searched far and wide for the
bridesmaid's dresses. for them to be
reasonably priced and gorgeous.
i got lucky and kept pushing on even when
i thought it would just waste my time.

after searching and searching,
i happened to find short convertible dresses.
[i wanted longer, maxi ones but they ran $150.00
more, so i settled for the short ones!]

i didn't want my girls to all look alike--
so it was perfect! they got to style the dresses
to their preference and they got to style their
hair the way they wanted to, too.
you would think they all would have been
super happy about it all-- but they all were
saying i was giving them too many options!
you gotta love girls, right! lol!
there's always something!

i did purchase the same shoe for them all, though.
i felt that something on them needed to
tie them together besides the color of the dress.
their shoe was a silver ankle buckle heel.
['totally uncomfortable', so i was told all night, lol]

don't they love lovely? :] i know they do!

the boys

of course, the boys got dressed and put
together without a hitch! i think
they all secretly felt completely handsome
in their suits! i thought so, anyway! i give
milroy's tuxedo an a+ because i just gave a
description of the colors and a quick swatch check
and everything went well after that.

the picture is the groomsmen mixed with the ushers.
the groomsmen are wearing white shoes.
chris and i love jordan's so we bought the
groomsmen white air jordan retro 1's as part of the
attire and as part of the gift.
[i should have just had the ushers wear white shoes, too,
but i wasn't thinking that far ahead :( lesson learned.]

gotta love men for just going with the flow.

handsome for sure!
