yes this could/should be in the brides forum but i dont think it gets that much traffic and i need to order ASAP.
my wedding will be in the Australian spring, October at this venue, http://www.weddingsattiffanys.com.au
Theme buzzwords: vintage, lace, daisys, lots of pastel colors. no color scheme set in stone, the 3 long guest tables will have LOTS of little glass drink bottles filled with pastel colored flowers down the length of the tables. my BM's bouquets will be easter daisys.
I've got 4 bridesmaids and originally was planning on having them in different pastel shades lilac, baby blue, pink, turquoise, but this is turning out to be difficult so i think i will do them all in 'ice coral' or 'pastel peach' 1 girl (the model in my pics) is a size 6 and the others are size 8's although one has the bust of a size 12 and another has the hips of a size 12
here are my 4 options
One shouldered $215 - this one is online so we can't try on before ordering. takes 3 months to make and non refundable exchangeable so if sizing is wrong... also something by her right elbow indicates the fabric goes over the shoulder and then straight down and back around the front to tie up?
strapless $199 - the fabric on this sits lovely and the color looks great. in real life its a peachy pink. one of my bridesmaids is conservative and is adamant she is happy to wear whatever i choice but i worry she will spend all day pulling it up to her chin... the dress do come with a matching bit of fabric meant to be a sash which could potentially be used to convert all or some of the dresses like one shouldered, halterneck, etc
Halterneck $299 - firstly we would have to completely close the midline bust peekaboo. way too revealing. also the vertical fabric at the very top is actually a 'bibby' bit of fabric that we have tucked up and into the dress this would need a seamstresses touch too which means bust, bib and lenth would need altering on each dress.
this was my models favourite and i admit it was very nice. my only hesitation is that it might be too formal for my down to earth theme. i'm seriously considering having daisys in my BM hair as well as bouquets...
silk shouldered dress $359 - this one is silk which i love cos its so flowy and natural. the only example they had was dark blue and a size 12 which is sitting weird on my size 6 model. it has a little slit up to the knee which looks lovely when walking. i worry with this one that the waist ends lower on the girl which made my models small hips look much wider. my widehipped BM has said she doesn't like this kind of thing
ps. my model is doing a 'Jolie leg' pose in this pic
i never seem to write anything but essays on PS!
