Biotchy Bridesmaids :)

Have ever watched an episode of Say Yes the Dress?  They have 4 versions Say Yes the Dress(original, in NY), Say yes to the Dress: Atlanta, Say Yes to the Dress: Bridesmaids and Say Yes to the Dress: Big Bliss (plus size).  These are great shows and if you are getting married, in a wedding or having a friend or relative getting married you should watch these shows.  Original/Atlanta are both great shows and give you some insight into what these consultants go through and they really are there to help you, but the biggest lesson learned from these shows is "DON"T TAKE SO MANY PEOPLE TO THE APPOINTMENT"  The more people, the more opinions the more chaos and ultimately the more tears.  And please don't take your fiance, I don't care if he is secretly gay and wants to help you pick out your dress.. NO NO NO he's just imagining what HE might look like in that dress or either you are totally spoiling the surprise and let's face it there aren't many surprises left these days by the time people get married... we do get the occasional Virgin couple or "born again bride"... meaning they are not virgins, but are virgins to each other and have decided to wait til they are married... BLAH BLAH BLAH.
Ok and also don't take your dad or your brother... you dad should simply send the check and the budget amount!  Your brother will hate you for making him go there and you think your brother gives a crap about what you are wearing, he is just thinking about scoring with your friends after the wedding :)

Ok, a brief on BIG BLISS... my personal fav because you actually get to see emotions and people happy when they find a dress that will fit, some of them are so worried they won't have a dress that will fit.  Most of them are so confident in themselves as big women and I think it's great for people out there to see.  Some of them are so sad and depressed it's makes you feel bad for them, but you feel so great for them when they get so excited and find a dress and are crying and actually feel beautiful for the first time.  The only negative I have to say about this show is BIG GIRLS SHOULD NOT WEAR A MERMAID STYLE DRESS... you look kinda like a pig stuffed in a sausage wrapper... it's pretty gross... so avoid that.

Now to the newest and most exciting, BRIDESMAIDS!  DO NOT I repeat DO NOT take your entire bridal party to pick out dresses on your first trip to look at dresses.  My advice, go with your maid of honor, your mom, your best friend, pick one of those and just you two and browse your little life away and pick out like 3-4 styles that you really like and then invite everyone else to come and look and try them on and voice their opinion.  If you know what kinda of look you are going for then just go ahead and pick out a dress and email it to all your girls, have them go get sized and order the sucka.  NO MATTER what you do all the dresses are not going to look good on everyone and not everyone is going to like them.  BUT here's to all the BIOTCHES out there and most of you are on Say yes to the dress:Bridesmaids and some in some previous weddings I have been in... Shut your mouth, it's NOT YOUR DAY!  If your bridesmaids are really your friends they will wear what you choose and what you think would look good on them and coordinate with your wedding. 

I have had some bad ones in the past that were not the most beautiful on me, I complained a little, got it out of my system.  But when the day came I put on the dress and put on my SMILE and made that Cornflower blue, too tight black strapless, hunter green halter, rhinestone belt, broken buckle shoes, totally not sweat proof rose bud, full length champagne, floor length black DRESS look the best I could.  Also after a few cocktails who cares anyway!

Pic's of dresses to follow... yes just like 27 dresses....these are a few of the beauties...look how much fun I'm having.
