*Economical Bride*

wow

This is the most creative, genuinely original, amazingly beautiful way I have seen to "re-use" a wedding dress.

Considering I currently have 2 dresses, I am trying to figure out what to do with the dresses after the wedding. Do I re-sell both, just one, neither? Do I use one to have a trash the dress session? Although it seems kind of ridiculous to buy a dress just to ruin it for some pictures, even if they are incredibly awesome pictures.

I consider my dresses to be steals and I truly got them for great deals, and I kind of want to pass that on to another bride who may be in a similar situation as myself. But then again I have this incredible emotional attachment to them, and I haven't even worn them yet...

OMG shoes

So my last post got me thinking, what kind of shoes the BMs should wear. If the coordinated color/pashmina idea doesn't pan out maybe a gold shoe or maybe even an orange pump!? I found theses on Endless.com

Pashmina

As I now wait patiently for the dresses to arrive I am beginning to think harder about how to make sure everyone does not freeze! The average temperature in Lake George on our date is 55 degrees and with shorter dresses a cover up will be necessary.

So idea one is pashmina! I have already thought about burgundy and ivory but there are so many options. Here are my favorite colors:

What do you think? any color ideas? Maybe everyone can get a different color and matching SHOES! OMG I think I just fell in love with that idea.

ordered!

Just placed the order with Target for these dresses!

I mean its completely ridiculous and totally unnecessary but um we might have to do it.

DIY project #2 complete

Well they still need a few touches, but I managed to make 5 boutineers this week!

some brown feathers, a glue gun, wheat, acorns, ribbon and brown floral tape equals these:
