Natalie, I was just showing off your wedding highlight video to my mother in law!! I have to ask, where did you get your bridesmaid dresses?  They look like J crew "Taryn" or "arabelle" but I wasn't sure!

Your date is getting close.  I can't believe how quicly time is flying.  You look beautiful!  I remember when you were deciding between dresses.  I think you made the best choice. 

 

And better to take it in than worry about the dress not fitting. I bought my dress a bit looser as well, just in case.

Tori you are too funny! I love that video. Sigh. I can't believe it's all done! Except for the thank you notes.... 

 

The dresses are very similar to the JCrew ones (which are gorgeous! That's where all our guys wedding clothes were from). The dresses are from AfterSix (Dessy), and were a bit cheaper than the JCrew ones, so we went with them instead: http://www.dessy.com/dresses/bridesmaid/6574/

Peach! The dress is by Alvina Valenta (same design house as Lazaro and Jim Hjelm). It's AV9913. I added straps to mine at the very last second (the week we were departing, at what was suppose to be my final fitting!) because I felt like it was still a bit too low. Best decision I made!!! I felt sooooo comfortable (no "pulling up" every two minutes!).

Everyone says I made the right choice with the dress.  I must be crazy, but I still love my 2nd choice too.  Maybe for the next wedding. lol, just kidding.

Totally agree with daizyduke!! I debated getting a size smaller than they recommended because things always seem to be too big for me when I order by measurements. SOOOOO glad I didn't- there's NO way it would have fit. So much easier to alter in. Looks beautiful!
 

Yes, this happened to me with a bridesmaid dress just a few months ago.  They ordered "my size," and it needed like an extra inch!  They had to take it out and did a bad job, it was a mess.  In the end, I didn't even get to wear it, the wedding is posponed until next spring.  Who knows how it will fit then...
