The Girls

**********DECIDED********** BOUGHT: 22 SEPTEMBER 09!

BRIDESMAIDS

And most likely with this shrug

I got the shoes today (23-09/09)

And they match perfectly with the blue in the dress

(sorry or the crappy phone pics)

FLOWERGIRL

FIs niece is 6 months older than DS so she'll be our flowergirl. 

I found this dress in Dublin and I think it works so well!

FI said we could get a Sharpie and colour in a few of the flowers to match the bridesmaids dresses lol.  I'll maybe put a blue sash around get waist (with the obligatory bow!) and I'll get her a real coat instead of the shawl because we're getting married in February and she'll just be a month shy of 2 years.

Uh oh!!  Just found this dress from www.cottoncandydress.com

I was thinking a tutu maybe...

lcullen made beautiful gifts for her bridesmaids.

I'm also thinking of giving my girls these soft flat shoes that roll up into a little bag.

I'm also going to make them up a little Wedding Day survival kit and put it in a canvas tote with this love-hate logo on it (only a little more embellished and fancy...)

Great article for bridesmaids gifts under $20!

BEFORE:
1 bottle of water
2 snack packs

total = $1.50
reasoning: made sure they have something to eat before the wedding

DURING:
gel foot pads
oil blotting tissues
lip balm
tissues
gum

total = $6.50
reasoning: heels are not comfortable, lip balm and oil blotting are for touch ups, tissues in case they cry, and gum for those impressionable moments

AFTER:
make up remover
nail polish remover
hand lotion
foot lotion
travel slippers
bar of daisy soap

total = $6
reasoning: at the end of the night after getting sweaty from all the dancing, you just want to clean up and feel good before getting into bed.
