went bm dress shopping

hey girls!

well i finally went bm shopping with the girls. it was so much fun!

we went with my mom and the girls tried on so many dresses, and two of their faves were the ones i picked out

i'm so glad i decided to only have three girls because they're all friends and get along and i didn't have to deal with any drama!! i'll try and post the two we narrowed it down to...

anyways, they had a talk with me and said that they're planning a bp party for me in vegas!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm so excited i really can't wait!! my girls on just the best

Re: went bm dress shopping

these are the alvina valentas...both would be in the red color...the one with the low back would be the moh and the bms would have the other one

Re: went bm dress shopping

okay and these are the bill levkoffs...

we tried them in the bicolor champagne and black like the first two pics...but would get it in red...only thing is red doesn't have a black bow like we thought it would...now we're not sure...

the dress is much cuter in person...it has these adorable little buttons down the back...

bms would be in the one sitting, moh would be in the other pic...that bow would be made like a box bow...it also has some sequins you can't see

i'm attaching it in both colors so you can see what i mean

WOW ...you picked some great dresses! I actually love them all, and I usually hate all BM dresses. My fav is the first one! When are you going to choose??

gee donna i'm glad you like them!

i don't know when we're choosing...first i have to contact bill levkoff and see if i can get bi color black and red, because i think that would be the choice only because my moh wasn't crazy about too many dresses but she really loved that one...

the alvina valenta, we only have a picture of. they didn't have the one with the low back, so i wouldn't want her buying a dress that she hasn't tried on because she is a bit picky with how she looks in things...

another factor is the alvina valenta is like 100 bucks more than the bill levkoff. my girls are so great and say they don't care and whatever i want goes, but i don't want to make that decision for them...besides they'll look great no matter what

sooooooooo.....next step is to call rk bridal and give them the style numbers and see how much they give the dresses for...

so who knows when we'll be ordering...i guess within the next couple of weeks cause the girls need to get measured still

Re: went bm dress shopping

The alvina valentas are gorgeous!! I want to wear one. I completely understand about the dress being more $ - I am hoping my girls don't have to pay too much for whatever they end up chosing.

The dresses from Alvina Valenta -- I love the asymmetrical bottom and color -- excellnt choice -- I think it will photograph especially well given the geometry.

I love the bill levkoff ones, the sleeves on them are like the ones on my dress. Where did you find them and if you dont mind, how much were they?
