Running the blocade
This weekend we finally succeeded in choosing the bridesmaids' dresses for the wedding! My little sister is one of the bridesmaids and I wanted her to help me out with the choice, but she's been so busy lately it's taken several months to arrange for her to actually make the trip. However, last Saturday was the day of the mission at last! Her boyfriend was there too but he wisely decided to go for a walk around town while we were engrossed in dresses; however, Gift felt obliged as the groom to stay and participate (no, he didn't try any of them on...or I would have taken pics... ). So we spent a happy hour with my sister trying on lots of designs and thinking about colours and eventually came to a decision. We've chosen a dress from Dessy in a deep pink/mauve colour, which I think will go well with 1) the bridesmaids, 2) the general colour scheme of the flowers, 3) my dress. All the things you have to consider!
Here's a picture of the dress: looky and the colour you need to select is "smashing" - of course!
It's a relief to have made that decision! It was something of a blocade, preventing us from moving any further with hiring suits etc. for Gift, the best man and the ushers, or finalising the flowers, or buying shoes for the bridesmaids. Anyway, now that's done, I'm really starting to feel excited about the wedding again :).
