Dressing Room: Wedding Dresses



If we want to share wedding dress pics the same way we did bridesmaid pics, we'll have to make this blog private, or create a new blog that is private or just would be really hard for Brad to find (i.e. AntarcticPaperSupplier.blogspot.com) so you could still share it with friends and family.

To edit this page:

To add pictures to this page:
  • Click the "Insert Image" photo box right next to "Link"
  • They have several options- I always connect my phone to my computer, save the images to a folder, and choose "Upload", "Choose Files", "Add Selected". ("From your Phone"/"From Google Archive"- instead of "Upload"- would be convenient if your phone automatically backs up to Google +)

Alternately, text them to me (comments appreciated!) and I'll take care of it for you!

Dressing Room: Bridesmaid Dresses


Sarah: Since my girl is states away, here is a virtual dressing room experience of some bridesmaid dresses!

Jenny: Love it! Three overall comments: I agree on the pink over the red, you look so happy, and you are beautiful <3 

Sarah: Thank you so much! I am over the moon about your wedding and being your Maid of Honor ^.^

 It may come down to these two! The above is petal pink, and the below is blush.

 Sarah: I felt like a million bucks in these
Jenny: I like this one a lot <3 Is that in petal or blush? I not only like the dress but the color better than the first one, it photographs better. Sarah: It's blush! Gah I love them both so much!


Despite what my face says in the pic, I love it- great for a May wedding!

This one is definitely higher-end, but I don't know if I like it as much as the three above.
Pretty, but these straps alone aren't cutting it for support!
Such a comfy dress, and it gives the illusion of some added height
Cute
Great shaping! Harsh line at the hips though.
Definitely good shaping on the chest and waist.
I really like everything about this dress- the sparkly straps are stunning
Pretty

Looked a bit like a bridesmaid from the 80s, but I like the fabric and shape
I was going to say we are 80s babies, then I realized that's only true for one of us :P


Now for the ones completely out of the running (but all part of the "dressing room" experience)....
Love the train!

I felt great in this one, but I don't like how it photographs (kind of boring)
I wonder if it would be different with a sash or something?
I like how tall this made me look, but boy is it floofy! It doesn't even look like a bridesmaids dress.
Gorgeous style on top, but strange gather above the knee....
Agreed
BOO!
Pretty dress, but it felt too casual for a bridesmaids dress
The photo looks fine, but it gathers at the hips in a way that made me look pregnant!
Taking your word for it on it,it is a nice pic.
This better illustrates the faux "maternity" look. Gorgeous top though!
I actually like this one, I am not seeing the maternity bit in the pic, I think cause the torso bit is more elongated than the other empire waist dresses.
Enough with the maternity look already!
Yeah I see the maternity bit in this one lol
Stunning back though
