HELP! I think I found my bridesmaid dress!

HELP! I think I found my bridesmaid dress!

A friend of my brothers works setting up DJ and bands for expos mostly in NJ.
He's always grabbing magazines for me (from NJ).
Well last night I'm looking through a camille la vie catalog and I see this dress and fall in love, it was just the top part shown so I crawl out of bed and go to the computer where I find it online and see full pictures.
LOVE at first sight!
I email myself the LINK and go back to bed.
I just got to work and the first thing I did was look at the dress...
Now here's my problem... the closest store is in West Nyack or in NJ and I know my maids aren't going to drive that far for a dress... I luck out because there's on in NC where one of my maids lives (we actually went to the CLV store down there 2 days after I was engaged)

so... does anyone know if any local bridal boutiques carry Camille La Vie. I don't think I've seen it anywhere besides the store in NC.

PLEASE HELP!!!

*or has anyone seen a similar dress in these colors??

pics wouldn't upload...

Sorry I can't help you find the dress, but I wanted to say that I think that is SO pretty.

Have you asked your BP what they think of the dress? Are they all the body type that would look nice in that dress?

pretty dress!!

i dont know where they carry it but a lot of the stores will order it for you even if they dont carry that designer. maybe you call around to a few places and ask?

also might be worth it for you to have your BM in NC order with your other girls to ensure the fabris comes from the same lot so the colors are a perfect match.

Re: HELP! I think I found my bridesmaid dress!

I love this dress! My only comment is that its style is kinda bridal gown-ish and they may end up taking away attention from you.

Really pretty and fun dress!!!

Do you think your bridal party would be willing to go to Jersey just to try the dress on. It seems on the website you can order the dress online.

You can make it a whole day with your bridal party. Lunch, trying on dresses, and maybe some shopping. Just make sure you try on dress before lunch

yea... that won't happen.
My sisterinlaw is a princess and won't leave her bed for the weekend. just don't ask about that one...
both his sisterinlaws have kids and they SERIOUSLY can't leave the kids with the fathers for a day
my MOH would prob go... and my other BM is in NC and just had a baby so she can't really fly here to drive to NJ to fly back.

Beautiful dress!

I know this isn't exactly what you asked, but what if you offered to drive the BMs? (Or you and FH if there isn't room in one car) Do you think maybe they would go then?

no... its not the drive its the fact that they would have to bring the kids and two of my maids dont really get along and there's just a lot into it.
like i'm going to have to find a diff dress that is local and take them all one at a time.

Pretty dress. I just have one thing for you to think about. I was in a wedding two summers ago, and our dresses were pale green. In a number of the pictures taken during the day, whether inside or outside, the dresses looked almost white next to hers. She regretted doing that shade. In person, it was obvious the dress was green, but the way the pale green showed up in pictures, it was not consistent, and she felt it was too close to her dress.

Just something to think about...
