The clearance game

I would oh-so-love to have my sister (MOH) wear this dress for the wedding.  Cotton?  Pockets?  Cute retro yellow print?  But first it was too expensive.  And now it's on sale but sold out in her size.  Boo hoo.  Internet shopping sometimes sucks.

See what I mean?

As long as we’re on the topic of yellow dresses…allow me to support my choice. Finally I’ve discovered some photos from a wedding with the same mix-and-match yellow bridesmaids idea. Photos that can translate the vision inside my head to those who can’t see inside my brain. It’s so exciting!

See?  Happy, lovely, mix-and-matchiness.  Let's just pretend for a moment that you're as excited as I am about this.  eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Yellow dresses

The search is on for yellow bridesmaids dresses.  I asked all of my girls to choose a yellow dress, roughly knee-length.  So they are the ones choosing.  And actually, I don't know that anyone except for my sister (MOH) is actively looking yet.  Which might worry me if I weren't way the heck over here on the other side of the world and completely detached from wedding planning at the moment.  But it is fun to browse!  I found a bunch of goodies on sale from J. Crew.  I think my sister has ordered a couple to try, so the first decision could be made soon!  Unfortunately, they've disappeared from the website after selling out and I didn't snag the pictures early enough.

I do have some goodies to share, though, have no fear!  Yesterday I stumbled upon Mod Cloth.  They have a lot of interesting clothing at pretty good prices.  I have never ordered anything from there, nor do I know anyone who has, so I can't vouch for the place.  But here's what they offer in yellow:

Yay?  Nay?  I think it's worth bookmarking and tossing it into the ideas pile.

Non-matching bridesmaids

Before I was engaged I loved this idea.  In fact, for the past six years since planning my sister's wedding I knew I wanted my bridesmaids to wear something different.  Not different colors entirely, and not different models of the same color dress, but unique styles in the same color spectrum.

I love this.  I would like for my bridesmaids to wear something in yellow - hopefully not in that traditional bridesmaid satin fabric.  I'm thinking cotton, chiffon, or something more along those lines.  Casual, summery, cute and fun.
