I feel pretty, oh so pretty!

First off, thank you to the ladies who dared to venture to the random part of Chicago (N.Pulaski & Belmont) to try on dresses this past Sunday. I know the store looked a bit sketch & there may have been 1 too many hot pink dresses with sparkles, but I appreciate your openness & ability to laugh at the oddity of the store. Secondly, bridesmaid E wasn't able to join us because of a terrible cold so I hope she's feeling better! Thirdly, my sweet jr. bridesmaid Megan & I had a special trip over Thanksgiving weekend to try on some dresses & figure out her size. I didn't take any pictures, but trust me - she's a babe.

Anyway, bridesmaid Melissa, bridesmaid (and future SIL) Megan, and Maid of Honor (and seester!) Catherine joined me early Sunday morning for some homemade quiche, coffee, and orange juice before heading out to Lily's Bridal & Gifts. When we walked in this was the 1st dress we saw & boy were we worried.

Yep, that's Cheetah print underneath.

Luckily we were pointed to the Alfred Angelo dress section & were quickly relieved. There were tons of options! The girls each grabbed about 10 dresses & off the dressing rooms they went. Each girl looked really pretty in every dress, but MOH Catherine & bridesmaid Melissa found their dresses. My jr. bridesmaid Megan found one online, so that's 3 down. Woohoo! I have some pretty funny shots of the girls trying on the dresses, but I'm not able to share them with the interweb (sorry!). However, here are the dresses the ladies picked! Keep in mind, they'll all be in navy blue carrying yellow rose bouquets. Swoon!
