Bridesmaid Dress Shopping in MI

I'm flying up to Michigan at the end of the month for a family union in Petoskey, MI and I've scheduled two appointments for all of my bridesmaid's (eight) and I to go dress shopping. Here are the places that we are going to go:

1) David's Bridal (Of Course!)

He's the dress that is still at the top of my list for David's Bridal. I love the high neck line, short, horizon dresses.



Here's a couple pictures of real women in this style of dress. It works for all shapes. With having 8 bridesmaids I definitely have a wide range of will have many body types to dress.






I don't really have a favorite for Lett's Bridal, but I'm sure after we go and look at everything I will. I'd probably go with a gray bridesmaid dresses here because they aren't going to have the right color blue to match up with Men's Warehouse.

Pure Michigan - Your Trip Begins

Lance and I will be flying up to Petoskey, Michigan for our yearly Family Reunion the last weekend in July. It will be Lance's first trip to Petoskey and I will be taking him to the most beautiful place on earth, Mackinac Island.



Anyone visiting Michigan needs to make sure and experience the following listed below.


The Cross in the Woods in Indian River, Michigan

As a small child, I remember going to mass and visiting this church when we would stay with my Grandfather in Petoskey, Michigan. Click on the picture and learn about this amazing and unique church.


Lake Michigan

Whether it's by Grand Haven or Petoskey, you must experience Lake Michigan. It's the most beautiful, fresh water lake you will ever see. Promise!


Petoskey's Historic Riverfront

Just next to downtown Petoskey is the historic riverfront "Petoskey City Marina" with the famous red clock. There's always clear blue skies, bright blue water and pure white caps.

The Cherry Festival is July 3rd - 10th, 2010. Be sure to try some wonderful Michigan cherries and check out the website for festival events.

Happy 4th of July with BR

Sarah Elizabeth and I went to her wedding dress fitting this morning, and afterward stopped by the new Banana Republic outlet store in Prime Outlets in Lebanon, TN. I've missed BR since Opry Mills closed down due to the flooding. I feel like I'm walking into my very own store where everything was made for me. I love the fit of their clothes!

Today, everything in the store was 50% off! What a great start to my 4th of July weekend! When I go to work this week, I'll take some pictures of my new BR outfits so you can get a better look at them. Here's a little taste below and how affordable it was.


$22.49


$9.99


$22.49


$14.99


$14.99


$17.49

That's it for BR. Below are two other items that I bought last weekend. I'm loving white for the summer.

Looking for Another White Dress!

Besides my soon-to-be wedding dress, I fell in love with this gorgeous dress when I was watching the Life and Career of Cameron Diaz on E! Cameron was wearing the most beautiful dress ever when accepting her Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. I know I'm a little behind, but here is her dress from a couple years ago. I really need to find a look a like.




Embroidered Ivory Dress Oscar de la Renta's Resort Collection

Here are some of the look a likes that I found online. Not as beautiful as Cameron's, but some close seconds.


Tahari by Arthur S. Levine Lace Sheath Dress


Suzi Chin Maggy Boutique Pleat Detail Embroidered Cotton Dress

Max & Cleo Pleated Ruffle Wrap Dress


I'd pair with these royal blue heels instead of red pumps!
