The Bridesmaids - DAMN YOU DAVID'S BRIDAL...this dress is being discontinued...
Well...my plot to pick dresses worked! The long dress got nixed, the convertible one they found confusing or uncomfortable - so this was the winner. They agreed no necklaces (score!) and for a colored bracelet...I said I would get the jewelry for them and they nixed a blingy bracelet and are opting for color.
Oh the shocker was - they really liked the small flower combs for the hair so Sam will help me make some - I said if they want to use it cool if not no biggie.
The color shown just happened to be the one they had in their sizes - their dresses will be black.
Shown in picture are:
Bridesmaid Ashley

I sent messages to my girls (yay for a small bridal party) and they all agreed it was worth the gamble. If it doesn't work out we still have time to get a different dress however this is the material of the dress above. So they all ordered it in black now we wait. They are pretty excited about it and agree it is a wear again look...I mean the dress typically is $325 knocked down to $49!
I think I will aim for the style to be similar/same for the ceremony. We are getting married in a Catholic Church and per the rules no strapless...BUT I do think it would be fun between the ceremony and reception they switch it up how the like it for a fun twist.

Bridal party gifts
Tote bag not shown
All got a black coach purse since I knew they would use them again.
All got a pashmina (T and S are orange, A is fushcia)
All got a bath fizz (might be adding in some other bath goodies)
All got a note pad, sticky notes, and a pen from VP - but with a twist:
T has a thing for Ninja's so she has some cartoon ninjas
A likes to fish so she has a fishing penguin for her items
S does dog rescue with me and is going to vet school in the fall so she has a "cold nose warm heart" dog
All their goodies will of course be put inside their tote bags I made for them as well.
