I cannot stop shopping-- come and look and tell me what you think..

A week from today I am leaving for Jamaica to SIL's wedding.. I have bought a couple of dresses and also had some stuff that I could wear...

I am a BM in the wedding-- but we can wear whatever we want. These are my choices..

Dress #1 I got tonight. It's a size too big and it needs to be altered- but it's really cute and a perfect balance of casual and dressy.

Dress # 2 I posted last week-- it's got a nice cut to it, but the print I feel is a little casual. Also, while I am dieting- it's a touch too tight, so I am afraid to rely on it.

# 3-- This is probably the dressiest option. Microfiber tank top and a very dressy skirt. It's silk, tuile and black beading-- definitely evening wear. The red shoes give it a little bit of quirkiness which I love.

SIL is wearing a full on formal bridal gown. Groom and GMs are wearing tan linen suits-- no ties on the GMs. The wedding will be on a deck overlooking the ocean, and the reception will be indoors.

Thoughts??

I would go with option 1 or 2 (2 may be my favorite - but it is a close tie). It sounds like a great wedding!

I love the third one, but for a Jamaica beach wedding, I'd go with #2 (sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear)Chat Icon

well-- we are overpackers too!!

Also, I think option # 3 is the most flattering. and #1 still needs to be altered.

They're all cute but I think #1 is my fave and IMO looks the most appropriate for the wedding you described.

I have only seen one other BM's dress and it's a full on dress-- pink lacy thing with the ribbon on the waist. That's the only thing that;s making me feel I need to be more dressy-- and not like totally cas.

I really like #1 and #3 for a wedding----I feel they both have a dressier look to them (not that #2 isnt nice also) but I would also pack all 3 dresses ( I am a huge over packer) and see how I feel the day of or even just to see what the other bridesmaids were wearing.

I LOVE #3. But I do think that maybe 1 is the best bet for that type of wedding.

I LOVE #3 but I think #2 would be best for the wedding (based on your description of it). They are all very nice dresses though!

Since the reception is indoors , I'd go with the first one, b/c like you said it is a good balnce between indoor/outdoor & day/evenign. What time is it?

Then I'd definitely go with #1, also since the 1 dress you saw was more bridesmaidy.

Re: I cannot stop shopping-- come and look and tell me what you think..

i need to see you actually wearing them (j/k)

they all look super cute. i like #1 or #2 for day and then how about a change for the reception?

my girlfriends did this at my wedding---wore something casual at church and more formal at the reception...

btw, where did you get everything?
