Dusty and Marlina

I’m getting anxious for the wedding. I tried so hard to be on the ball and make all of the big decisions before classes started in August that now it’s waiting time. We will eventually start choosing things like our wedding bands, wedding cake, tuxs, and flower girl dresses but none of these decisions must be made today.

Picking the bridesmaids dresses is one thing that I’ve been wanting to find. My ultimate goal is to find a dress that my bridesmaids can wear again, and I’m not just saying that.I’ve been in many weddings and feel very lucky to be a part of my friends’ weddings but it’s getting very expensive purchasing a dress and never wearing it again. For those of you who haven’t bought a brides maids dress lately, they’re only getting more expensive. A couple of years ago a dress might cost 100 dollars but now it’s costing almost 200 dollars including alterations and most of the time, girls can only wear it once.

I found a great store, White House Black Market, with great little black dresses. I’ve narrowed it down to three dresses. The girls like them so now it’s just making the decision between them all. Let us know if you have a favorite, it might help us decide which one to pick.

The first dress (top left) has a sweetheart neckline and three options for the sash. We would get the black sash. The second dress (middle left) has a halter neckline and is made of a taffeta fabric. The third dress (lower right) also has a sweetheart neckline and is silk.
