I understand that the economy is in a slump still and they all have families they are working hard to support. So, might I recommend that before you fall in love with another bridesmaid dress taht you ask each of your bridesmaid what they can afford on a dress.<br /><br />Like you said you don't her financial situation, but maybe you should as there will be other things they'll have to pay for like shoes, accessories and/or hair and makeup later on. You wouldn't want anyone to feel uncomfortable about not being able to afford anything in regards to their duty in your wedding.K.

But i am more than willing to come up with other alternatives, price wise!Mrs. Pancakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03441934318368344653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894899490428676091.post-54060794754458791932010-09-19T03:04:31.238-04:002010-09-19T03:04:31.238-04:00i have to say...bridesmaid dresses were one of the...i have to say...bridesmaid dresses were one of the biggest stresses i had when I look back over the year of planning. i wanted to get some of the cuter styles you can find online but they wanted to try on before they ordered. (totally understandable I think) i wanted to go with a preppy chic dress style from jcrew but jcrew doesn't offer a size larger than a 16. I knew he and I weren't going to be able to pay for the dresses so my goal was to keep it under $150.00 (still can be A LOT for someone depending on their $/job situation) so we ended up going with David's- and while what we picked is perfectly nice, I *promise you* no one is ever, ever going to wear the dress again lol<br /><br />I don't know how much the dresses you liked costs, but I would suggest listening to your M.O.H and validating her fears. Ask her how much she was expecting.. see if you can meet her nearby. If you can't find a dress you love (or can live with) in that price point, that maybe the dresses will need to become part of your wedding budget. Just because it's our dream wedding doesn't mean we want to make it a financial nightmare for our friends.Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04016963796201775781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894899490428676091.post-35747011922399210252010-09-18T19:17:15.891-04:002010-09-18T19:17:15.891-04:00i also had to look at dresses at first without the...i also had to look at dresses at first without the girls, because i live across the country from everyone. but then fate stepped in and i had to go home for a family funeral and i was actually able to spend some time with my girls towards the end of my trip home and we all went together. i chose lulakate (www.lulakate.com) and just went for 1 color, and then let the girls choose whatever design they liked best. this way they knew how much they were spending and they knew they loved it too! and they have tons of shops everywhere so the girls could go get fittings, etc.<br /><br />good luck!jacin {lovely little details}https://www.blogger.com/profile/12164183236118006374noreply@blogger.com
