Bridal Party Gifts

A I was at the same boutique where I bought my earrings and I noticed a pair of earrings that would go great with the Bridal Party dresses. I thought it would be nice if I bought all the girl's matching earrings and necklaces. So here is the earrings that I bought the Bridal Party.

First Bridal Party Fitting

Saturday, May 10, 2008 was the first fitting for the Bridal Party. It It went well, I had such a great time. The only problem we had was that the first dress I has picked out was pricer then I thought. The first time I asked for the prices of the dress I was told the price was $250.00. When we went on Saturday they rechecked the price for me and it turns out that the dress is really $300.00, they had made a mistake in prices. I was not prepared for that, so we had to pick another dress. The Bridal Party had fun trying on the different dresses. I did find a different dress which was great!

Here are a few pictures of the Bridal Party Fitting on Saturday...The first picture is the new dress that I have picked out for the Bridal Party. The colors are going to be the same as on the model.

Here we are on Saturday afternoon trying on different dresses......

Here everyone is in the dresses that I picked out for the Bridal Party.....
