Bridesmaid Dresses!
I've been spending some time looking at bridesmaid dresses. I'm Kayla's maid of honor and Alli is Kayla's bridesmaid, so it's been rather convenient for dress-ponderings. Kayla's dress is white chiffon with blue and white beading with a gathering detail at the waist, and her colors are dark blue, light green and grey.
We're looking at dresses that a)have decent straps, because dancing in strapless dresses is sort of stupid and I have a personal vendetta against spaghetti straps, b) is made out of chiffon, because it'd be silly to have more formal dresses than the bride, and c) look good. The last part is a tad bit harder than it sounds, because Alli and I have rather different figures. We may decide to go with different dresses, but I'd like to at least get them from the same manufacturer so that we'll be in the same shade.
Colorwise, we've been thinking that having the dress be dark blue with an accent of grey or green is best, both for availability and rewearability reasons. We've got a few candidates, so if anybody wants to supply opinions, I've put the pictures (both of possible dresses and of me, Alli, and my sister who has a similar figure to Alli trying on dresses) up here on Picasa.
