Daring to Dress Differently

Sometimes a decision made for convenience turns out to be a really gorgeous option.  I love my bridesmaids, who are two terrific ladies.  One is tall and brunette and statuesque, and the other is blonde and petite and spunky.  They are both lovely, but finding a dress to fit them both would be a major headache.  So I told them to wear whatever long black dress they like.

It turns out that I really love the look of bridesmaids wearing similar, yet different dresses.  It looks fresh and new.  Here's another picture from Martha:

The effect is casual, but elegant.  I'm so glad that I didn't listen to my doubts and pick out a dress for the girls.  I know they're going to look gorgeous in a way that totally suits them.
