The whole purpose of the Bridal Brunch, posted previously was to look at dresses...and here is what I came up with.

This is from David Bridal's website, it really give the whole vision I am looking for. I don't want matchy matchy but I want some flow to it. These dresses I think really fit the bill. The two little girls on the end are my two daughters, they'll be Jr Bridesmaids, they're a bit older (12 & 14). So if my colors are Pool Blue and accents of Red, what do you think of the Jr. Bridesmaids being red, I like the bit of color it adds. I am planning to have a flower girl too and she'll be in the Pool Blue so that will sort of break it up a little bit more.

These are the girls with their dresses on but just not in MY colors.

These are the girls and then adding in my two daughters. As you can see the dress for my youngest (green) didn't really fit but you get an idea.

I know my wedding is not until May 2010 but I felt the need to get the girls together for a little meet and greet and then do a little dress shopping. I want them all comfortable but at the same time I want a vision to come through. I think I got it down. I think as a bridesmaid, having plenty of time to buy the dress is a big help, doing it this early helped me get my vision down and then it will also help them to budget for their dress.

Here is the invitation I designed and gave them for the bridal brunch.

I did very minimal decorations for the brunch I wanted a very casual feel to it but I did get all the stuff from goodwill and other resale shops. The champange glasses cost me about 79 cents each...the tray for the muffins was only $2.99...and the vintage lace table cloth was $3.99. I mades some very yummy food.

Here is what was on the menu:

Blueberry and Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pancakes rolled and filled with a fruit filling

Mini Pie Shells filled with scrambled eggs and cheese

Pigs in a blanket

Mini Eclairs

Fresh fruit: Strawberries, Grapes, Watermelon, Honey Dew Melon, Cantelope

and to wash it all down...Mimosa

Here's a picture of the table with all the goodies:
