Hats off to all of my ladies! Within 2 weeks, all of my bridesmaids had called into the French Door and had their order placed for the bridesmaid dresses. When I called to check on them last week, we have an estimated ship date for the first week in July. Not too shabby. I was getting a little nervous. I keep thinking that the wedding is like forever away, but it isn’t and things like this remind me of that.
About a month ago I was at the French Door having one of my bridesmaids measured. The lady that was helping us nicely asked about when we were going to get the order in. I let it roll of my back and just answered with, “oh soon probably.” Having no intention what so ever to really get going and get the dresses ordered. Call me crazy, but I really didn’t like the job of telling my friends and future family that I needed them to fork over cash!
However, as we talked a little more and I told her when my wedding date was, she pretty much told me that my dresses needed to get ordered ASAP. The particular designer we went with was giving estimated ship dates of the middle of July to the first part of August. Reality check – the wedding is going to be here soon! Everyone was on the ball, we have them ordered and I have one less thing to worry about!

Bridesmaid Dresses
After the cake fiasco...I headed to Sioux Falls to have my last bridesmaid measured for the dress. I tried my dress on yet again, and it still fits to that's a plus.
The pressure is on however. When I told the lady when our wedding was, her jaw pretty much hit the floor. I asked what the big deal was and she kindly stated that we needed to get these dresses ordered NOW!
The designer that we picked is shipping dresses mid July. That doesn't give us a whole lot of time for alterations and problems that could arise. So, officially 1 dress is ordered and the rest of the bridesmaids will be getting a call before the week is over.
Bridezilla strikes!

Bridesmaids
When we got engaged first thing I wanted to do was start asking everyone to be in the wedding. Everything I read said to wait...think about who is really important in your life and be sure that is who you want to stand up with you.
The other thing that I wanted, was to make it special. I didn't want to call up these people and say, hey what are you doing August 29th? I wanted to do something different if at all possible.
So I found a couple of poems on the Internet. They talked about being friends, sharing memories, etc. Perfect, but I needed to add my own touch. So I incorporated our wedding colors and a bottle of champagne.
The reason it took me so long to post this is because I did get excited and ask a few people. I asked Emily right away to be a bridesmaid and had a little too much to drink on Halloween and asked her to be my maid of honor. Kelly knew I was going to do this for all my bridesmaids, so I asked her on New Years Eve. Either way I wanted to do something for each of them. So, finally everyone has received their bottle of champagne and is in the wedding party
