Hi Tara! I wish I had a picture of it, but they don't let you take pics and I could not find it online. It's just a small piece of material with the same sparklies on it. It maybe covers about two inches straight across the bottom part of the "V".

i'm having a hard time picturing it but i love it regardless, it's so elegant!

Paula, that dress is amazing, go for it!!! and I love the idea of doing Orange for your bm's. that dress might not be forgiving on the areas for the girls who just had babies, it seems a little body hugging to me. Not sure if this is the exact color but David's Bridal has quite a few orange tones...David’s Bridal | Bridesmaids | Bridesmaid Dress Colors

Omg, I LOVE the first dress... its fantastic, and stunning and your FI's jaw would drop to the ground!! Give it a few days and go try it on again and see if you love it as much as you did when you tried it on. You seriously have fantastic taste in wedding dresses, you should come shopping with me! lol.

 

As for the bridesmaids dresses, I think they look really great. I love the back on them. I do agree with Angela, in that style of dress will hide your bm's post preggie belly a bit more... and you do want to make sure they're comfortable and postiviley beaming as well! Maybe you could add a similar sash to that dress? The dress you chose is very pretty though, and it material looks forgiving - I'm just afraid it might hug their "problem" areas (hello - they just had babies, it's a miracle, not a problem lol!)...

Love the dresses!

 

I also like the idea of mango callas for you (it will really show well in your pictures) and maybe they can get green callas or a green bouquet for the BM.

Paula, I love the Jolie dress!!! Its absolutely gorgeous!!

 

I think for your bridesmaids you could give them white flowers, or maybe white with some green.

 

I know its not one of your colors but I think bright pink flowers would look great with that color dress too!

Let's go dress shopping Court-ni-ni! I need to make a purchase by the end of this month

 

Thanks for the flower advice ladies!

 

I did look at the David's Bridal orange, but they didn't look that nice in person

They had a nice white dress with green flowers - looking at patterned dresses, but it was one style and not very flattering for my MOH.

 

Here are the links to the BM dresses that come in the cayenne I am going to go back and look at with my MOH.

The colour doesn't look great on the screen, the underneath colour is different than the chiffon overlay, so it looks vibrant in person. These are also tea-length.

The first one was the one I saw in person:

 

Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 7544 | Iridescent chiffon v-neck dress with bias skirt and streamers at back. Available in floor length or extra length.

 

 

Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 5523 | Iridescent chiffon knee length dress with mock wrap bodice and satin ribbon at waist. Available in knee length, floor length or extra length.

 

Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 5541 | Iridescent chiffon knee length A-line maternity dress with satin ribbon at empire. Available in knee length, floor length or extra length. <br><br> Also available in Wtoo in Chiffon as sty

 

Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 7525 | Iridescent chiffon knee length two-piece with wrapped bodice and satin ribbon at waist. Available in knee length, floor length or extra length.

 

Watters & Watters | Bridesmaid Gown Collection | Style 7593 | Iridescent chiffon knee length halter dress with wrap waterfall skirt. Available in knee length, floor length or extra length.

Maybe I will use all three tea-length styles! Since they are shoter - they won't compete with my dress

I was really hoping to find a style and choose a colour that they could wear again actually. Only because the BM dresses I have worn in the past were expensive and not something I would wear again. Well, I may be able to get the strapless, floor length, brown dress from my sister's wedding altered.
