bridesmaid style:: dusty pinks & mint greens

my dear friend is getting married this december and has asked me to be her bridesmaid. of course i said yes!! and she gave us girls a choice of dusty pink or minty green summer dresses. naturally, i picked the dusty pink.. and started conjuring images of how i'd dress for the wedding...



oh wedding moodboards, how i've missed you! | here |


i immediately thought of petal-y, tulle-y flouncy dresses...

with romantic names like crinkled confectionery dress.


and in a heartbeat, i bought this yummy tulle pettiskirt from american apparel..

but the boy thinks its not "bridesmaid-y" enough. i've yet to interrogate him what he thinks bridesmaids should look like! i love hearing his opinion on fashion cos most of the time they make  sense and otherwise, always a source of laughter!!!

SO....

the search for dusty pink bridesmaid dresses continues!


i kinda like wearing it this way too! 

p.s. yayy!! i just snuck ANOTHER pettiskirt into my collection discreetly, under the pretense of "shopping for bridesmaid dress"!! and i get to keep shopping!! zhing - 2, husband - 0! 

any ideas or recommendations for dusty pink dresses?

  7. Pretty. You could sew petticoats too, quite doable. Then you can sneak in as many as you want into your closet :p
