To Add to My Madness.........

So my sister was in town this weekend. We looked at some BM dresses. Well I've always been in the champagne-mocha theme. Still am, but...we were playing around with thoughts about themes and colors. Jordan had a gorgeous olive color. But I would never go all green. So then we thought............. We could do alternating colors for the BM's. Yah know...Mocha -Olive-Mocha-Olive.

So this is my first question. Which style do you like better(thats my important question. Because no matter what we liked these two dresses and they came in the best mocha colors. So would you ladies purty please take the poll as to which style you like better.

And then comment whether or not you think it would look okay to do alternate colors? Thanks ladies

i voted for the crinkle bodice, its a tuff decision b/c both are beautiful but i like the crinkle a lil better...the colors are sooooo nice and i think alternating would work really well with those colors good choices!!

I love the 3rd Dress. All of the colors are beautiful!!

There are only 2 dresses

I should probably also add that the poll might be confusing. On the poll crinkle bodice is the first to vote for, but on the bottom row of pics

Yeah think I need a vacation. I fixed it.

Re: To Add to My Madness.........

I'm lovin the 2nd dress, but not liking the idea of alternating dress colors. I think like a few girls said..have the MOH in one color, and the girls in another. I went back and forth with this too Nina, and chose for my MOH to be in a different color, same style dress though.

Re: To Add to My Madness.........

I love the 2nd dress. I personally think all one color would look nice, but I'm sure it will look gorgeous either way.

SO I am being totally different. I like the one with the buckle. I think it looks very modern and can accentuate (sp?) a persons body shape. I also think you should have ur MOH in one color and the girls in another.

You can have th emocha and green thing but running those colors all thorughout the wedding, green flowers, green and mocha monogram....

i agree, i like the buckle dress! great color scheme too!

Re: To Add to My Madness.........

Hey Nina girl...love the 2nd dress! i think that it is so beutiful and a great choice for your BMs. I also agree that perhaps if you want to do those 2 colors, just have the MOH in the opposite color. But hey, if you like alternating, go for it! I'm sure it will look stunning- just my own preference.

Re: To Add to My Madness.........

Nina, love them both but my favorite is the 2nd dress (crinkled bodice) in the champagne/mocha color. Just LOVE it!!!

Re: To Add to My Madness.........

I love the second one... I love the olive green... i think the other one is too light... might easily get lost in the pictures (i've seen that happen with realyl light dresses).

If you want to alternate, why not? or just out your MOH's or jr. bridesmaids in the olive.

Re: To Add to My Madness.........

I love the 2nd dresses Nina! The crinkle bodice ones!!!!! I've been looking at something like that from my BM as well, and so far, all the girls, no matter what their size, they've all liked it.

As for the colors, IMO, I would go with all the same. Both colors are beautiful, but I like uniformity in that case. Slight color variations here and there are OK, but I'm not crazy about the 2 completly differnt colors. But, that's JMO!

Good Luck Chicky!

Re: To Add to My Madness.........

I love both dresses as well.. but imho the crinkle one looks more flattering on more body styles (my sister -moh tried both of them on.. and the crinkle was way more flattering)

but no matter which you choose im sure it will look great

Re: To Add to My Madness.........

aw, I think the alternating is a nice idea.

The one thing though, with the colors you've chosen, is that the two together remind me really strongly of army camo. I know your FH is in the military, so that might not bother you, but maybe just something to think about, if you want that brought into your wedding or not.

of course, I could be the only nut who sees that at all, but I just thought I'd mention it!

and I like the second dress. There's just something about the first dress that looks strange to me... I'm not sure it would be flattering on a lot of people.

Re: To Add to My Madness.........

my vote for dress number one. i love both the colors. i think it would be nice to alt the bm in the 2 diffrent colors . its diffrent and i like that idea.
