I'd say Yeses to those Dresses

So I'm sure many bride to bes are with me, but I am obsessed with TLC's Say Yes to the Dress. I love when the people get angry and when the consultants get frustrated. Oh, and most of all I love how nasty and manipulative the moms get. It's like some twisted guilty pleasure. I can't help it, I swear.

Either way, you think I would've know that the [in]famous Kleinfled's has their own website. No kidding, right? You can view their collections of dresses and drool. Too bad if you're wondering how much more has to be in your piggy bank to buy these beauties. You get to see a symbol of 1 $, 2 $s, or 3 $s. It's surprisingly vague. The website lists the price guide here. It doesn't list any dresses under $1,500. I'm pretty sure I haven't tried on any dresses worth that much.

Regardless, back to drooling! It's obvious that Kleinfled's has some real beauties. Here are some of my favorites :). (All images come from K's website. It's seriously worth some perusing. Make sure you watch out for love at first sight. Ooooh boy!)

A Sneaky Dress!

I'm going to be honest with the blogosphere out there. There is something I've been keeping from you - something I haven't told you all.

Secretly, I'm a ninja. Ninjas are sneaky, and I'm gonna tell you all just how sneaky I am!

Nordstrom has a whole bunch of nice and spring-y dresses up on their website. There's quite a bunch that make me swoon, but also a bunch that make my wallet cry a little bit.

Luckily, there is some hope for us cheap skates out there :). Here's the proof.

This lovely number (by Teeze Me) can be found here at the Nordstrom site. It makes me smile, sitting at an affordable $68.00. Naturally, I don't like to spend more the $30-$50 on any one item of clothing (I swear, I was born thrifty), but for a nice new dress, I could tend to splurge a bit more. Especially if it was for a nice rehersal dinner perhaps?

I like to think that even though we're trying to have a wedding on a budget, I can still splurge a little on the trifecta. This is my term of endearment for the set of new 3 desses I am dying to purchase and also have to be perfect and give me "the one" feel. Wedding dress, rehearsal dinner dress, and bridal shower dress. It's not like I am just looking for an opportunity to shop . . . Okay, I really am just looking for a reason to shop, but the trifecta is totally necessary.

I almost forgot, I shared my "secret" with you all :). Ninja!

I was 0n the Windsor site later and found this dress!


Familiar right?! I know. But here's the best part - at Windsor, it's $64.90! Okay, okay, I realize you'd only get to save like $3.00. But that could be the cost of one invitation, right? And in wedding planning, every little bit helps!

After seeing the dress at Windsor, I got a little curious and did some serious google searching.
I found this!

Here it is at Dillard's! The best part about it though? It sits at a cool $59.00 which is totally more my style. I was surprised to see it, sitting at $10 less then the first time I saw it. $3 might be a toss up, but saving $10? I'm all about it.

These are all the full price for the dress, so I'll be hoping it goes on sale in the future.

The dress is only sold in juniors sizes, but right now, at 21, I can admit that I still shop in juniors. If the clothes are cute, they're cute! And besides, I'm still a bit of a kid. . . at least for the next 3 weeks untill I graduation!

Oh! And if you're all curious, this dress is available at Von Maur for $89.00

Cute!

So depending on the amount of 'whimsy' in your wedding or playfulness, or theme; I think this dress from Sunday Brunch Dress could work as a bridesmaids dress or even the wedding dress. Either way, I'm drooling over it and I want someone to get it. It's gorgeous. I love it. Actually, someone should get it for me. Any takers :) ? At $570, the price is a little steep for BM dresses, but hey you never know!

Love at first sight . . .

I have totally fallen for the bridesmaids dress over at Coren Moore. From the looks of the site, it seems like they're a pretty popular brand, but I haven't heard of them before. It seems like most of their dress are out of our budget ($150), but a girl can dream, right? Most of the dresses cost $220-$320, but what is nice is that you have your choice of what fabric you choose to order the dress in. Shantung, cotton sateen, and seersucker seem to be most of the options they offer. They also off group discounts. I wonder how much I could save if I really wanted some of their dresses for my girls? Hmmm, I'm not sure. I should check it out.

Another plus to Coren Moore is that the website is easy to navigate and nicely designer. It's always a turn off for me if I can't quite figure out the website. It makes me quickly navigate elsewhere.

So, without further ado, here are a few of the cutest / freshest bridesmaids dresses so far! (image source for all images)

Here is the Rose. The small photo doesn't do it justice. Head over to the website to size the full length photo in all it's glory. I'm actually quite smitten with it, but $290 is way over our $150 price tag. But it's the perfect length - Just above the knee is just right! Oh and those little ruffles around the neckline! Mmm - gorgeous! And I still have an obsession of putting a sash/bow on everyone, which doesn't work on all dresses, but it could work here! The nice flat panel around the waist could be perfect for a nice little sash.
Maybe they have sales? I'm not sure, I'll have to keep an eye on it. But regardless, this is love.

Oh Tara, how I love your neckline. You're so cute and sweet and definitely ready for the party. Tara is ready for all occasions actually! She can be bought as a full length dress under the evening section ($315), or as a shorter dress under the cocktail section ($285). Swoon! I love options!

Oh Lily, what's that you say? I was trying to add a sash to Rose, when you were all ready perfect for it? You guys have the same adorable neckline, but Lily's shape it just fantastic. So cute, so lovely!

So there they are! If your budget allows, I highly suggest heading over to the site to see some cute dresses!

Oh! And did I mention they have a bridal line too??
