Gown Friday!

i was pleasantly surprised by Melissa Sweet's fall 2010 collection--a little less 'sweet' and a little more 'mod'--not too much, but nice little touches. enjoy your weekend!

Fall 2010 Maids

{Amsale}

would you ever put your bridesmaids in white? or pale shade of any color? i am noticing more and more maids dresses in white and pale pink--would you do it? or does the bride still get the honor of being the only one in white? here are a few new maids dresses from the Fall 2010 collections. enjoy!
