Anyway.... off track again. I knew from the beginning that I wanted to chose the color and fabric of the bridesmaid dresses, and let my maids chose the style. I want them to have something that they actually like, not some lame dress from a bridal store. Speaking of bridal stores, I scoped out Central Coast Wedding Center during my lunch break the other day, and all the dresses are SO ugly and expensive and unoriginal! So that's why I love Jcrew ! They give you so many options, and the dresses super cute and high quality. The regular standard bridesmaid dresses are so expensive and feel so cheap! Such a ripoff. It seems like when you mention wedding, the price automatically triples. You can thank Shauna for the pictures (she bookmarked all the brown jcrew dresses and emailed it to me!).
These are my favorites: First, the Silk Taffeta Dresses. I think the taffeta is the most formal fabric (but maybe hot in July?!)...
Silk Taffeta Loreli Dress

I'm also a big fan of the Cotton Cady dresses:
Lydia Dress

Then's there's the classic chiffon and silk dresses:
Abigail Dress (this looks way cuter on the model)

Thoughts? Ideas? I'm looking for something classy and elegant, but that they can wear again. There's a few other companies that do similar things, like Charsa and Jenny Yoo. So many options!
Brenna liked this option from Charsa (in silk duponi, brown):
Andrea Dress

She also liked these options from Jenny Yoo (imagine in brown again):
Arianna Dress
Hopefully we'll get to try on some of the dresses this summer- we're planning a San Fran dress shopping trip with all the bridesmaids!
