So excited and I REALLY want to post a picture here so you guys can check it out, but then I realized that my fiance will see it if I do that. So, it has to stay under wraps, but I will tell you two things:
1. It’s stunning.
2. It isn’t insanely expensive.
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 🙂
In other news, BM dresses are IMPOSSIBLE. They all look like unfortunate prom dresses – anyone agree? I’m looking for a platinum/charcoal-colored cocktail dress. Anyone got 9 of them in various sizes laying around? A couple of my BM’s searched with me this weekend, and we found one dress that I really like but it was brown. It was a knee-length, fitted dress with removable spaghetti straps (liked it better with the straps) and was very chic. I wrote down the style number so I could scour for other colors and sizes, to no avail. Lesson of the weekend: department stores have better dresses than bridal shops when it comes to BM’s. I swear, every single dress in those bridal shops has either a sash or a bow! What happened to simple elegance?
SIGH. Well, at least I’m in action now! And once I have BM dress options, I’ll DEFINITELY post them. But unfortunately, kids, the wedding dress has to remain top secret so my fiance doesn’t catch a gander.

I definitely agree about bm dresses. I ended up getting mine from Nordstrom and the girls LOVE them, as do I. One of their husbands even commented that it, “doesn’t look like a bridesmaids dress.” Mission accomplished. :o) Meanwhile, check out JCrew for assorted great dresses and consider having all your girls just pick a dress they like in a specific color range. Good luck!

Thanks, Shannon. Yeah, the BM dresses I saw at the bridal shops were very prom. I want something chic that the girls can wear again!

…I’m reading through your entire blog from start to finish and I believe you may have already picked out your BM dress, but if you haven’t, you should look at Target. Seriously. That’s where my silver BM dresses came from and at $34 a pop, nobody was whining about how much they had to spend on a dress they’ll never wear again.
My advice to you is to go for a non-BM designer. Anthropologie has had some amazing gray dresses recently!

omg, brillz! I will definitely take a jaunt over to the Target website. Genius! I actually LOVE the ones you picked out and would want them for my own party – but I’m afraid the bubble hem will look funny with my extra poofy dress.
PS – Your blog is fab. Loves!
