Finally got my hostesses to agree on a dress. I wanted to get something in the store so it wasn't like they couldn't wear it again.
this process with my hostesses proved that a bride can be too democratic or you end up nowhere. Now, the reason why I did the hostesses dress this early because I am having a fall wedding and wanted to get them sooner rather than later, before when the spring colors are in and I can't find anything I like. I have emailed them suggestions and basically some folks replied others didn't. We went back and forth. So, finally, I got bridezilla and made a decision. Size was a big consideration, I have a wide range. So, here the final item from nordstrom.com $138 and wearable again in my opinon.
So, I found on ebay the seller of the gorgeous silk pashminas that Ashley go her girls. I don't know what color to use though. Should I go contrasty or more subtle.
