Cover ups for me and BMs - any ideas?

Im selling a bolero in the for sale section.

My dress (ellis 11032) had lace and sparkle details like yours, quite similar, what make is yours?

Are you BM dresses the BHS ones as I think they do matching boleros?

(If im not allowed to post this let me know!!)

Hi Libby

Thanks for your reply. I did see yours and it looks great but my dress is ivory rather than white, so it probably wouldn't work.

I will have a look at the BHS cover ups. Do you think the pink pashmina idea is naff then?

Cheers

I think pink would work if it was a dusky pink as the dress looks quite pastel-y and I think if it was too bright, it wouldn't work - alternatively what about ivory?

Have you thought of a baby blue one for you, and a white for the BMs - like a negative effect?

Thanks for your suggestions, the BHS ones would certainly be the safe option as I know the fabric would match the BMs dresses, but I am not sure I like them that much.

I hadn't thought of me having blue and them having ivory, will definitely consider that. I think I like the idea of pink for them because I'm thinking of having some pink in the flowers...

I am SO not good at this sort of thing (as you can tell!)

Could they have pink and you have blue? Or all have pink?

Hey new date twin!

Love the bridesmaid dresses, last year for my friends wedding we got silver pashmimas (almost a light grey), but they were lovely. I haven't got anything- hoping that it will be warm enough!

No its not naff at all, i nearly got them for my BMs but our wedding day ended up being a very hot day!

I think blue and pink goes nice, esp if the flowers tie in with it too, i found some pics for you to show the colours together ......

or ivory like someone else said to match your dress? Little shrugs or pashminas?

Just to say thank you to all of you for your suggestions ❤️

And hello to my date twin clarelou! <waves> How are you getting on? I have been lurking for a while but don't post all that often...

I'm liking the idea of silver for the BMs, I will see what I can find. Still not sure about me, but I'm pretty sure I'll go for ivory in some shape or form.

Anyway, thanks again peeps, you're great!

I'm getting on OK, still going strong with planning only got engaged at the end of feburary so not as organised as some- how about you?

Well that's not that different from us in some ways - we've been together for ages and engaged for over 5 years, but only started wedding planning in February so way less time then some on here!

So far we've sorted: venue, my dress, my ring (OH doesn't want one), my shoes, caterer, BMs dresses and shoes, suits for the men, favours, ceremony and readings, DJ, photographer, hotel, hair, gift for best man

Still to do: flowers, jewellery, veil, drinks, gifts, makeup, car, playlist, centrepieces, children's bits, orders of service, table plan, and lots of other things on my 3 page to do list!!!!

How does that compare with you?

Niknak

This is my to do list:

Place Cards menus guest book signing Table names Table plan make fudge make favours pay photographer venue seating plan Venue ceremony plan Confirm final details with venue post box pay venue pay cake book hair and make up trial buy jewellery Mitchell Present Paul Present Mother Presents dad present get dress altered and cleaned check BM dresses fit music playlists collect suits flowers bag up each table Steve and James presents write speech list of shots for photographers honeymoon toiletries pack for honeymoon print reading honeymoon money visa's flower girl shoes and hair goody bags for kids? malaria tablets print hotel vouchers fix FG dress

Luckily most of it involves shopping so not too bad!
