The bride didn't want a wedding, she didn't want bridesmaids, or the dress, or a big party. But things have happened since the engagement that changed her mind, and now suddenly we're doing it all. This means we're all chipping in to get all the little odds and ends covered.
The wedding will be at the home of the bride's parents, which is on one of the biggest lots I've ever seen. We'll be spending most of the week gardening, cleaning out the pond, getting the big white tent set up, and working on favors/decorations.
The bridesmaids (myself included) were asked to wear blue. That's all, just blue.
Who knew how hard it would be to find a dress that I could afford, that looked decent enough to be photographed in ad nauseam, and just happened to be blue?
I found one, after months of searching, at Loehmann's. Had never been before, and am glad it is now on my radar.
We'll see how it turns out. I'm a bit weary to see what shade of blue the other girls come up with, and whether or not we'll be at all cohesive. I could see it turning out to be a big mess of cotton, chiffon, paisley, and floral prints. But the bride wants what the bride wants.
My other duty is hair and make-up. Make-up I'm trained in, hair not so much. But I found this great site weddinghair.com that gives you pfd's with step-by-step instructions, so stay tuned for pics of this DIY adventure.
