Bridesmaids dress shopping was a ton of fun but super tiring as well! My maid of honor and two bridesmaids were able to come to Des Moines to try some on at the Bridal Boutique in the East Village where I bought my gown. They each modeled about 10 dresses to narrow down our search to the above choices which are all from the Allure line. I've also decided on eggplant for the color. It's a beautiful color that looks complimentary on all skin colors. It's also more re-wearable than lavender, which is what I was originally thinking. Thanks Mom, Jen, Tessa, Anita, Michael, and Carolee for coming!
