Bridesmaid Dresses

So a few weekends ago, a few of my bridesmaids, my mother, and myself headed down south to find the most perfect bridesmaid dress! They are generally cheaper there (which is always a good thing) and its just fun to make the trip. So my sister packed us sack breakfasts and after a quick stop at Starbucks, we were on our way.


We went to a place in the heart of L.A. called the garment district. They sell mostly wholesale there and that's why its so cheap! We have been down here for a few of my sister's weddings so we knew what we were in for. But I have to say that this was the busiest I had ever seen it. It was pretty crazy!! My mom and sister had worked with one guy before so we headed for his shop first. I think it was called "Trendy Too", something like that. I did not really have specific dress in mind but I knew that I wanted the coco brown color. We were looking for semi-long but not all the way to the ground. And I did not want to get a dress that looked like a bridesmaid dress (if you know what I mean). We all went looking through all the dresses and grab a few for the girls to try on. There were some definite no's and a few maybes. Then we say this one, that the girls really liked and felt comfortable in and it was cute! So Amy and Sarah tried on the dress in both the brown and the blue, just to make sure we liked the brown better. They even found a green dress that was similar to the color of the flowers to see if it would look good.

We really liked this dress (its the one my sister is wearing on the left) but we decided to keep looking just in case. So after a few hours of looking and trying on a few. We decided to grab some lunch and make a final decision. Low and behold, we went back to the first place at "Trendy Too" and ordered the brown dresses!! The final cost was very reasonable and the bridesmaids were happy about that!


We were told the dresses were going to take about a week to arrive at my parent's house but they came only three days later! I am so relieved to find the dresses and I think my girls are going to look fabulous! With the that done, the last major item for the wedding was to order the tuxes for the gentlemen and we got that accomplished on Sunday!
So now we just wait (46 days) to become Mr. and Mrs. Wilson!! How exciting!!

On a side note, if you could please be praying for Andrew and I as we are now looking to life after the wedding and we're not sure what's exactly in store for us. Yes, we are planning on living in Oregon but as of now I don't have a job up there and that poses a few problems. We are trusting God to provide for us and we know He is in complete control. Just pray that a job of some sort will come up for one of us so that we will have health insurance. And also, we are starting to look for a place to live. We really appreciate your prayers!
