| I'm planning a June evening wedding. Catholic Ceremony at 3:30 (about 1.5 hours long). The cocktail hour at 5pm, dinner at 6pm. I'm considering this attire:My Dress:http://www.maggiesottero.com/dress.aspx?line=m&attrib30=276&attrib32=287&keywordType=any&pageSize=8&page=4&style=J136&moreOptions=1Bridesmaid's Dresses: (they can pick which one they want)http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_bycolor_detail.jsp?stid=2332&sid=7971&cfid=6http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_bycolor_detail.jsp?stid=1552&sid=4644&cfid=6http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_bycolor_detail.jsp?stid=2326&sid=10064&cfid=6http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_bycolor_detail.jsp?stid=2967&sid=15355&cfid=6Also, I plan on adding champagne colors sashes to the dresses, to give them color.Flower Girl:http://www.flowergirldressforless.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=Flower-Girl&Product_Code=6036I&Category_Code=170The Men will be wearing traditional suits/tuxedos. I haven't decided on the style or colors yet.Thoughts? Opinions? Should I Add or Change Anything?Well, I'm planning on using David's Bridal, but creating my own dresses. They have an option like that. You can add sashes there. No link for those dresses, but these are similar.Also, my flowers will be white, peach/pink, ivory roses. I'm using other colors too.These are the ideas for the flowers:http://weddings.theknot.com/odb/themes/realweddings/detailview.aspx?id=18197&type=3&wedding_details=Bridal+Bouquets%2cBridesmaid+Bouquets&pageindex=8 |

| I love all your choices! But I think the only bridesmaid dress that would look good with a sash is the 3rd one. Even if you dont use a sash, remember their bouquets will really stand out against these dark dresses. |

| Wow I think the dresses are beautiful. I really like the two strapless I think they compliment your dress really well. The other thing to think about on the first one is that typically evening weddings are more formal so I would stick with a longer dress (but that is just my opinion) also I think the sashes would be beautiful to give them some color it will look really nice for the reception since they won't have the flowers. I think whatever dresses you choose will be beautiful.Your dress is absolutely beautiful. The flowergirl's is so precious. I hope everything goes well. I had a June wedding in the evening and it was beautiful. |

| I like the first dress the best, your maids will probably also be able to get the most use out of the shorter length later too. If you want to go more formal, I like the second one. The third dress looks like it might be shinier and fuller than your gown, would not want the bridesmaids dresses to be competing with the bride. Sorry, the fourth one just doesn't do anything for me. Just my opinions, remember it's your special day, pick what you really like (but keep your friends in mind too, it's always good to choose dresses that will be flattering on them). Good luck. |

| The link for the flowers doesn't work, it goes to a log in page, but other than that, everything looks great.I don't think that the sashes would look good on the dresses, since two of them already have designs on the waists, and the other two just don't look like dresses that need sashes. Also, I think that the first one looks somewhat less formal than the other three choices.They're all really nice, but my favorite is the first one. I think it's awesome that you're letting them each pick their own, so they can look good too.The flower girl dress is adorable, and your dress is beautiful. I especially like the short train. |

| The first bridesmaid dress is too casual and the strapless ones are not appropriate for a Catholic mass unless they wear matching wraps with them. The 4th one best matches your dress. I think they would all look dumb with sashes. It doesn't need it. I think the bridesmaid dresses should be champagne. The black doesn't go with an afternoon wedding or a church one either. |

| I'm sorry, but I don't really think any of the gowns will look right with a sash of any type - it's going to look like you are trying to make them in to dresses that they aren't.Love your gown and the flowers!IMHO: you have no 'color', black and ivory and pale pink are all neutrals that while they work together nicely shows no sense of originality. Again, IMHO! |

| Your choice for a gown is absolutely beautiful!However, just don't go with black for the bridesmaids. Your only option to match groomsmen is black, too, no other choice, and it will just be so dark and dreary - not what a wedding should be like. And champagne does NOT add colour - it would just be a contrast. Choose a happy colour, please!The flower girl dress is just precious! |

| Just a quick thing ... none of those dresses are going to look good with a sash. The first and last ones have an empire waist line and you just can't pull off a sash with those. The second one has a rhinestone pin on the left side and you don't want to cover that with a sash. The third dress already comes with a semi-sash (it is actually attached) and you'll have to buy the other one in addition to the one it comes with ... you might have to pick another dress style that works with a sash if that is the direction you want to go in. |

| You don't even need to discuss this with them the third bridesmaid dress should be the ONLY option. It's a very very nice dress. I hate it when bridesmaids wear different dresses..let them all wear the same one. COngrats on the wedding |
