Here it is the update! I chose to have 2 bridesmaids and 1 maid of honor (my sister)
I picked my 2 friends that I've known the longest as my bridesmaids. They both are as close as sisters to me and I trust that we'll continue to stay in touch for years and years to come.
This weekend Kiersten and I found the perfect dress for her and the bridesmaids! We know it will look great on the girls and luckily the dress color isn't too orange.
I wanted each person to be able to pick their own style of dress so that it flatters them the most. I don't have much of a choice with this dress and color so I decided that I'd pick 1 style that could work with everyone.
I hope they like it!

Picking a Maid of Honor is a no brainer for me. That will be Kiersten. Bridesmaids, that's difficult. Now do I pick the friends that I've known since I was a little girl / spent so much time growing up with /having fun with or friends that I've known for only a few yrs but value and appreciate them as much as I would a sister or do I pick favorite Aunts and Cousins?
I want everyone to feel special and important even if they aren't picked as bridesmaids.
I want a couple of bridesmaids that won't mind helping out and taking care of snags through-out the day...like maybe the florist needs directions to set up at the ceremony, or someone needs to tell me that I have lipstick on my teeth, or to help me bustle my dress for the reception.
Anyway, what was this blog about? That's right Bridesmaid Dresses!
An idea I have is that each bridesmaid pick a different style and all will be the same color. That way they can pick a style that works for them.
Look at these dresses below.
They're great because people can wear them after the wedding!
I like dresses with an interesting neckline or little straps, however that two-tone dress design with no straps works for me. My sister Kiersten is great. She found the site for these cute gowns. :o)
Maybe I should go with something dressier... Hmmm a longer skirt for the bridesmaids?
