Two of my bridesmaids took time out of their busy schedules to spend all day with me on Saturday. Yay for friends! We all met in Indianapolis (where BM Jess lives), had lunch at Olive Garden, then headed over to the Alfred Angelo store.
We immediately hit the racks and pulled everything.
Seriously... I think we grabbed about 30 dresses. Other consultants kept having to steal dresses from our dressing room because there were none left.
Here is BM Colleen browsing the samples. She likes to make awkward faces and poses in photos (just a warning)...
BM Jess was feeling a bit overwhelmed by all the dress options, so we had BM Colleen model them all first.
We thought this one was lovely, but a little too plain for BM Colleen's quirky personality...
Here, BM Colleen is making the "what do you think of this dress?" face. I'm responding that it looks like a gross yellow bathrobe...
She really enjoyed this dress, but wasn't sure if it was right for the occasion...
This was one of my favorites of the day... but it may have just been because it came in this saucy red...
BM Colleen's a professional seamstress, so she totally fell in love with the material of this dress (which came off of Alfred Angelo's eco-friendly line). She knew this was the one...
She had her measurements taken, and was about to swipe her credit card when the consultant informed her that her dress doesn't come in navy.
Sigh.
Back to square one.
After a whole 'nother slew of dresses, she ended up in this pretty little number...
As much as BM Colleen loved the lime green, I found it distracting, so she tried on the same dress in black.
I think we have a winner!
(It doesn't have straps... those are her bra straps.)After Colleen had tried on every dress on earth, Jess took her turn. She only tried on two. While wearing the second dress, she turned to me and said, "I think this is it."
Easy enough!
I have one more bridesmaid... but she lives out in Maryland. Luckily (and by no mere coincidence), she has an Alfred Angelo store 30 minutes away from her house. She's going to head over this weekend and order herself a navy dress.
I'm so happy to have this huge item off the "To Do" list.
Go team!
