Hey everyone, so, I’ve been helping my best friend plan her wedding, and let me tell you, it’s been a wild ride! We finally decided on burgundy bridesmaid dresses, and I wanted to share how we got there because it wasn’t as straightforward as I thought it would be.
First off, we brainstormed colors. My friend, the bride, initially wanted something light and airy, like pale pink or baby blue. She even mentioned lavender and yellow as options. We spent hours looking at different color palettes online, trying to find the perfect match for her overall wedding theme, which is kind of rustic but also elegant, if that makes sense.
Then, one day, we were flipping through a wedding magazine, and BAM! There it was – a picture of bridesmaids in these gorgeous, deep red dresses. It was like a lightbulb moment. We both looked at each other and just knew that burgundy was the way to go. It’s such a rich, beautiful color, and it really complements the whole rustic-elegant vibe she’s aiming for.
Once we settled on burgundy, we started hunting for the actual dresses. We checked out a bunch of stores, both online and in person. There are so many shades of burgundy out there, it’s crazy! We finally found the perfect shade at a local bridal shop. It’s this deep, wine-like color that’s just stunning.
Now, about the cost. This is where things got a bit tricky. In our circle, it’s pretty standard for bridesmaids to pay for their own dresses. But we wanted to be mindful of everyone’s budgets. So, the bride decided to give her bridesmaids some flexibility.
She picked out three different styles of dresses in the same burgundy color, all within a reasonable price range. This way, each bridesmaid can choose a dress they love and feel comfortable in, both style-wise and budget-wise.
- We started with light airy color options.
- We stumbled upon burgundy in a magazine.
- We found the perfect deep, wine-like shade.
- We offered bridesmaids style and price flexibility.
How we feel about the selection?
Honestly, I think it worked out perfectly. The bridesmaids are all happy with the options, and the bride is thrilled with how everything is coming together. Plus, the burgundy dresses are going to look amazing in the wedding photos! I can already picture it. Burgundy is a good color, I think maybe I will use it too.
So, yeah, that’s our burgundy bridesmaid dress story. It was a bit of a journey, but we got there in the end. And I have to say, I’m really excited to see it all come together on the big day. This is going to be one beautiful wedding, if I do say so myself!
