Bridesmaids on the Loose!

What a day!!! Well today Debra, one of my bridesmaids, joined me for a day of planning. I had heard from some people that Men's Wearhouse was a great place and a cheaper place to go for the tuxedo's. We already have them reserved at Al's but I wanted to check it out. Well they were right, Debra and I ventured into the store and about an hour later we came out with a new tux order. First they were really professional, very knowledgeable, and the quality was much better for the price. I made sure that I followed the selections that Jeff had made this past weekend. I also managed to save the guys about $20.00 each, so I was really glad about that. I know it isn't a ton of money but 20 is 20 as far as I am concerned. Also, I was glad that the quality of tux was better and the new one looks much more formal and for a lesser price.

Then it was off to dress shopping. I hadn't looked at the bridesmaid dresses at all in person, just online. Debra graciously volunteered to try on the dresses for me. We went to Alfred Angelo...not impressed at all. The whole experience wasn't great and so after about thirty minutes we left. Then it was on to David's Bridal. This is were I got my dress and they had a great selection. We were there for about an hour and a half. She tried on dress after dress. Separates, mermaid skirts, full skirts, halter tops, cap sleeves, etc. Finally we picked about three separate outfits and two dresses. I had always originally planned on going with separates but after seeing those dresses, I am thinking that might be the way to go. The dress looked good on her and I think it will look great on everyone else.

We have finally started the final project of the wedding, the bridesmaids dresses. Once we get that done, all the major stuff will be done and we can concentrate on the little details and getting ready for our vacation to Georgia.
