Maybe it is because I have been a bridesmaid SIX times myself, or that I have such a specific idea in my mind, either way - I CANNOT pick a bridesmaid dress or even a color.
My dress? Picked in a hour. Their shoes? Decided overnight. Groomsmen? Decided over champagne.
Bridesmaids - forget about it.
I love neutral colors, and our wedding is certainly a traditional southern wedding - I'm talking magnolias everywhere - so I know that I want everyone in the same dress and same color to continue on that trend.
I am working with a neutral color palate, but I cannot find a grey that is light enough and I am terrified of picking a color that will wash them all out. On top of it, all of my bridesmaids are different shapes/sizes.
Then there's the cost - I am so conscious about their costs that I am covering their accommodations for the entire wedding weekend.
Someone - help! I had no idea that THIS would be the hardest part of wedding planning. Seriously, everything else is done except the bridesmaids.
