Ordered the BM dresses this weekend--Never Say Never--that is the lesson I've learned (ya know I got pics)

Original post by EvenEdan

So we did our shopping last week at the Vera Wang salon, which by the way is AWESOME, but ordered yesterday from a different store. The VW Salon has every single BM dress in every fabric option, they carry all dresses in size 6, 10, 14 and many in 20 so everyone in the BP can try all the dresses. They also have every fabric option in every color so no matter what you chose you'll be able to see the fabric and color on a dress and not just a tiny swatch! The consultant was so helpful and very sweet. We didn't order from them though (felt really guilty about this) #1 because they don't do alterations and #2 I got a better price from the Wedding Salon of Manhasset. But it really was an amazing salon with top of the line service. I highly recommend going there. We had the perfect day of dress shopping, I had seven of my nine girls with me, all were trying on and it was sooo much fun.
I decided to do four different dresses (I just couldn't put nine women with totally different body types in the same dress), all will be in this amazing AMETHYST SATIN. I never in a million years would have thought I would chose Amethyst, but the color just jumped out at me, it is a very warm, beautiful jewel tone and all my girls loved it. Just don't call it PURPLE! lol.
Anyway, here are the four different styles.
Three girls will wear this one (it is not actually this low cut, this must be a model/runway version):

Two girls will wear this one sans the bow:

Two girls will wear this (this one is actually Vivian Diamond but it is the exact same, couldn't find a postable Vera one on line):

And finally two girls will wear this one:

I love their dresses there at Vera Wang. All my girls bought their dresses from Vera!!!! The ladies there are super helpful and the prices not too bad.

Thanks to everyone who commented on my girls' dresses. I love each one of them and I love that all of my girls are so happy with their dress.

Attica--the dress is actually more closed up on top than what you see in the pic. It has a mesh material that comes out about 1/2 inch past where the strap ends. And it is not nearly that lowcut. I think you could definitely find a bra to work with the dress.

Butterfly--FM

CP--Yes, it was a very productive weekend! So exciting!! I love getting things done.

LOVE EM, LOVE EM, LOVE EM!!!!!!!!!

Great choices!

Just a quick question: I ordered my bridal gown from Vera Wang. I know they do bridal alterations, but they don't do bridesmaids alterations?

Thanks June! No, they don't do alterations on BM dresses. They do have someone they recommend though, I was told this person works on their BM dresses all the time and was fabulous, so not to worry if you planned on using them.
