Well well well. I promised you all I’d bring back Wedding Wednesday didn’t I? Well it’s back.
We are officially 8 months and 5 days from our wedding. I’m starting to freak out. My to do list here at work is half work crap and half wedding crap. None that I can get done because Oh, my dress is in, they’ve called me twice, I missed their calls. I’ve called them THREE times, left a message, and then realized this morning as I called that they’re not open Wednesdays. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SCHEDULE MY FITTING WHEN THEY’RE CLOSED?!?!?!
/end bridezilla
But whatever. It’ll get done. I can’t schedule it till the end of the month anyhow, my shoes just got ordered last week in a frantic showdown with the Shoe Gods at Nordstrom I called, I hunted and I almost cried. But these beauties are on the way.
The very kind man at Nordstrom understood it was IMPERATIVE that I have these shoes so they’re getting sent to me via some store…somewhere. Additionally? I stayed under my $100 shoe budget. WAHOO!
Now to find the veil. Ugh.
I digress….
Last night I finally settled on TWO finalists for the Bridesmaids Dresses. It’s been a big debacle just because I want my girls to buy something they’ll “wear” again (i say that hopefully while realizing it’s highly unlikely), something that’s not too expensive (capping it at $200) but I want them to…kind of match. Meaning, I want them all from the same designer.
So after scouring and reading reviews…wanting something mildly preptacular/classy, I decided that I would check out
Aria dresses and Dessy dresses.
Liz and I will having lunch, and then venturing to Dupont and Georgetown this Saturday to check the dresses out. Then I’m going to make a decision – a color and the designer and say “go to it ladies!” I’ll be up in Boston in February to go with S, T and L to pick out their dresses. I’ll see if I can get my sister to come down though it’s HIGHLY unlikely.
I really love love LOVE the Aria dresses – the pictures from the website are amazing – the ones I love?
also i like this…

but I like the variety of styles. I like the colors. Though I think I may settle on green dresses instead of navy…we’ll see. The dresses also come in just under or around $200. Nice! Hopefully my girls like them too!!
