Being a Bridesmaid

So this past weekend I went shopping with my girlfriend Courtney for bridesmaid dresses for her wedding. It was so nice to finally get to meet up with all the girls I had heard so much about! Our first stop was David's Bridal. Loved it there! The woman who helped us was so nice and we had so many dresses to choose from in an array of different colors. We started off with finding our sizes and then debated on what colors would go best. We looked at sashes and ribbons mixing and matching. We tried on every style of dress from haulter to strapless... you name it we had it on. They were all beautiful but we all didn't feel as if we had found the right one yet. Then as we were browsing through the isles Courtney found a dress that she had seen online and loved! It was a strapless dress covered with blue flowers on a white background with different hues of green and yellow mixed in. It matched her color scheme

 perfectly! So we tried on the dresses, unfortunately there was only one there in blue that was 10x to big for any of us. So we opted for the orange ones to get an idea of how they would look. Jess grabbed the blue one and pinned it on so we could see it. As we all stood together and saw the look on Courtney's face we knew it was the one! 

We took a break for lunch at the Olive Garden to talk over what we all thought would look best, and afterwards we were all pretty sure we would have to go up a size after eating so much :) We decided to take a look around at one other bridal shop just to make sure we saw all of our options before deciding. The second store didn't offer as much of a selection and most of the dresses we wanted to try only came in one size. (One that half of the time no one could fit into). But we made the best of it and looked at all of our possible options. After trying on a few dresses it was obvious that the best dress was the flowered one we had all tried on earlier. 

We left the second dress shop and went back to David's Bridal. We made sure our sizes were correct and bought the dresses. And the best part was they were on sale!! We each got our dresses for $100.00 :) 

While we were trying on our bridesmaid dresses it was hard not to notice all of the beautiful wedding dresses scattered around. We couldnt help but to look around and OOoo and Ahh. They were absolutely gorgeous and I fell in love with all of the lace and beading that was everywhere! It made me 10x more excited to look for mine (hopfully in the next few months)!

All in all the trip was great. It was fun to have some time out and about with the girls to get to know one another, and it gave me good ideas on how to go about shopping when I need to bring my girls! 

Thanks for reading!

Only 376 days until the wedding !
