My smart brain decided that since the groomsgirl was on summer vacation from law school, we should find her a dress during that time despite the fact that I don't have a dress of my own yet. I didn't think that was a big deal until we went to a bridal shop in pure Michigan (don't tell me you don't love those Tim Allen commercials, people). The man that was "helping" us...more like telling me what I should do instead of what I want to do...told me something that has stuck with me ever since. Groomsgirl put on a bari jay dress that she really loved. I mean, she was smiling and excited to be in that dress. And it looked amazing on her. But would shortening it to tea length take away from the shape? Probably.
So anyway, the guy was totally annoying but that thing that he said? If I was looking at more toned down fabrics, then having her in a satin would make her stand out more. That made me think.
So while I was shopping with my mom for wedding dresses a couple of Sundays ago, I mentioned that I loved Dessy bridesmaid dresses. She asked me for a look that I was going for after I told her the predicament and she showed me these awesome dresses.
A little satin with tulle... I love tulle!
Yes, satin again with tulle. Ballerina style.

Yes, satin again with tulle. Ballerina style.Here are the originals that I liked and she tried on:
ah, the Grecian dress.
If you're still here, thank you. It came down to the bird and Grecian dress for me until those tulle dresses were added. Would I be a hypocrite for wanting one of those even though it has satin? Probably... All I wanted was a dress that she felt great in, liked and that went with our wedding...is that so bad?
So, what are your favorites?
