Where did Summer go???

Wow! Is summer really almost over?!? It sure did fly by! I have been working way too much but have gotten a lot of wedding stuff done! I can't believe it is finally less than a year away; a little over 9 months to go! :)

One of the major decisions we made this summer was the bridesmaid dress! The bridesmaid dress from before just wasn't cutting it, so we decided to do something totally different! I have had my eye on the LulaKate boutique on King Street in Charleston for a while now. I made a visit there over the July 4th week with my mom and two bridesmaids, Elizabeth and King. It was such a wonderful experience; they treated us like queens! The store is absolutely precious and we had so much fun looking through all of the dresses. The girls tried on what seemed like a million dresses, but none of us could decide which one we liked the best.

I have seen a few weddings that have used different bridesmaids dresses in the same color and thought that was so neat. I know all brides say this, but I really want my girls to be able to wear their dresses again after the wedding. They are all going to choose their own knee length style of dress in the color of Almond (which is a gold/champagne color.) They all have different body shapes and I know they will feel much more beautiful if they can pick a dress themselves; I know I would! Elizabeth and King both picked very different dresses and they look absolutely incredible on them. I can't wait to see what the other girls pick!

If you have never been to LulaKate in Charleston; you MUST! The LulaKate line is also featured in all Bella Bridesmaid boutiques all over the country. Here are a few pictures showing real LulaKate weddings from their website. Enjoy!
