Wedding: Bridal Party Attire

We're finally a few weeks away from the wedding and all of the details are coming together!

I went to Chicago back in February to do some bridesmaids dress shopping with 3 of the bridesmaids and we found the dress in the second store!  The girls are going to wear  a Love Lane long navy strapless dress.  We got them at Bella Bridesmaid in Chicago. I haven't actually seen it in navy yet since the store only carried green and that's all the website shows.  Below is a picture from the website (why is the suitcase so awkward?):



We knew from the beginning that the groomsmen were going to wear grey suits and we looked around at many stores and couldn't decide where to go.  My brother strongly recommended Indochino suits (online, custom suits), but they were a bit out of our price range.  He emailed us a 72 hour sale on a Friday night that the suits were $300 down from $380 (side note: as of today the suits are $450!!).  Although it was still pricey, we knew they were great suits.  The problem was trying to get 7 guys to measure themselves that quickly, especially with two groomsmen living in Costa Rica! After going back and forth many times with Indochino, we finally paid up front at the sale price and they gave us a few weeks to get the measurements in. We absolutely love the suits and we're hoping they fit all the guys great (some of the groomsmen won't be trying it on until the wedding week since it was shipped to a different location than they current live).


Part of the groomsmen gift is a white custom fitted shirt from my brother's company, Biased Cut.  Matt will also give them navy ties from the tie bar.  Matt is going with a patterned green and navy tie from the tie bar.



My cousin's 8 year old daughter is the flower girl and she went with a Seahorse white dress with navy sash.  She looks so cute in it (although the picture is of a model, not my cousin's daughter!)


The ring bearer (Matt's nephew and godson) is going with a grey suit and a green bow tie.  Things are coming together!
