Shopping for dresses !

I just found out that unfortunately for my pockets I will be off for the rest of the month of July. But the good thing is I can finally go to Hunington Park and shop around for bridesmaids dresses and flower girl dresses.I absolutely love going to HP (as we call it here in Cali) because there is a main street full of all different stores for at least 3 miles or more. For any Cali brides I will definately recommend going down there for dresses. I will go with you if you want. There are many bridal shops for very inexpensive prices..

Re: Shopping for dresses !

HP! Shopping in HP is the greatest thing on the planet! Christmas shopping in HP is so much fun. Everything is so cheap! I saw this one dress (not a wedding dress) that I liked a lot and wanted so much just to have it - didn't buy it. But it looked like something straight out of a fairy tale. I love me some HP man. I found a dress I liked online and one of the other brides on this site also used the website www.bridalonlinestore.com and said the dress arrived and it was great. She got it for 99$ the one I want is 399 but retails at David's Bridal for 800+. Maybe I will check out HP just to see what they have.

Re: Shopping for dresses !

Well you can pick me up on the way!I love HP and I love to shop and there's no better way to shop than shop with a friend! And we both have a goal,the wedding. There is so much to do and we can do it all.If there are anymore Cali brides that may want to shop in HP with me/us feel free to send me a note and we can start planning. I feel so special right now.....:)

I am torn between two difrent designs and both are available in Bridesmaids and Flowergirls. Do you think they should have the same dresses?

Re: Shopping for dresses !

OK ladies I'm not too big on posting pictures right now but I can post a link.This dress is one of the options I have, if anybody can post the picture for me I will love that!.Black with red or red with black If this dress wins How should I order them?
I was thinking of having the Bridesmaids in red with black and MOH in black with red. But if I do think how should I order the flower girls dresses? in black or red?

Re: Shopping for dresses !

Here is the second dress I was looking at.Keep in mind that I am posting the flower girls dreeses to show you ladies. The bridesmaids drsses have the thin straps that are detachable(I think.......lol)Red and White dress What do you ladies think? If you want I can also post the bridesmaids dresses too but they are basically the same.I've seen other dresses simular to this one that may come in to play but the style is still the same. It's just where the white part on the dress is in a different place.

Re: Shopping for dresses !

I am not quite sure what your colors are exactly nut I am loving black dress with red accent. I love red b/c it says sassy to me. I think the girls in black w/ red would be nice and your MOH in Red w/black is good. What color is your dress you wnat to reverse it also to brighten yuor wedding up. I am not sure what your dominate color is .........I hope I helped

Re: Shopping for dresses !

Thanks for posting the pictures for me Niquey! OK ladies what do you think? These are the dresses I like for both the flowergirls and bridesmaids/MOH (Both dresses are an option for all women). Sheawiil my colors are red and white which is why I was leaning toward the red dress for the bridesmaids and the flower girls. On the other hand I really like the red on black and black on red. If this dress was choses I was thinking of the bridesmaids in Red and MOH in black. After actually looking at the dress I will go either way. The men will be in black with red vest and tie and white shirts, and the women will match either way it goes.My wedding dress will be white with red triming. Will the black be too dark with that?

Re: Shopping for dresses !

I think you should go with both dresses.have your Bridesmaids in the black on red and your moh inthe red and with dress along w/ your flower girls. I don't know if you want different dresses. I only have four girls and I am letting pick there dresses but they will be the same color. MOHs' will be in ivory. I think my colors are going to be ivory , platnuim and blue. I am still trying to find the color blue my FH is talking about. I hope i helped.

Re: Shopping for dresses !

No Allies the black will not be too dark to go with your red & white wedding dress. Sheawill, your colors are vey similar to mine. I have chosen navy blue & platinum. My dress is white.

Re: Shopping for dresses !

Sheawiil I thought about having the flowergirls in the opposite dress as the bridesmaids too.I dont really mind having 2 different dresses.If I do it that way then I can still have both the dresses I like!Great suggestion. So should I stick with black on red or do red on black for the bridesmaids?
