That's one more HUGE thing off the list!

Both dresses are fortunately Jim Hjelm, and we can order them together so that the color of the dresses will match exactly.

The color will be Cashmere (UPDATE BELOW)

The Jr. BM dress is really simple, but she'll be 10 years old, and we can't have her walking around in a flower girl dress or an 'older' looking dress.....

SO - WHAT'S NEXT ON THE LIST????

Thanks Jess! That was my initial worry - the color is light, and I didn't know if it would go with all their complexions - most especially b/c they have tans now, but not near the wedding! So...I'm treating them all to tanning beds or spray befor the wedding - LOL!

The dresses are beautiful and fit all of your girls really well!! I like the color of the dresses also... I am considering a similar color but maybe a bit more goldish... what color will their bouquets be?

Oh - and totally hear you on the size thing, I am normally a 6/8 and my gown in a size 12!! (well the 10 which was the sample fit me really good but way to tight over that big booty of mine...LOL, so they recommended I get the 12 and get it taken in!)

That's just wrong w/the size!

Thanks for all the compliments! The BOK's will be all shades of purples!

Those dresses are beautiful!!
As for the size thing, don't go by the number! Its all a scam for them to make more money. I have also noticed they want to order huge sizes sometimes when they don't have to, so they can make money on alterations.
When I ordered my dress, they wanted to order a 14 (I normally wear an 8). I told them no, its going to be to big, order a 12. They made me sign that I wasn't ordering the size they recommended. Well I went to a store the other day that happened to have my dress and the sample size was a 14. I tried it on and low and behold, it was HUGE.
