So, my best friend, Sarah, she asked me to be her maid of honor. I was like, “Duh!” But then came the real challenge – picking out the bridesmaid dresses. We knew we wanted something classy, something that would look good on everyone. We finally decided to go with burgundy, and let me tell you, it was a journey.
First thing we did was hit up all the bridal shops in town. I mean, all of them. We dragged ourselves through racks and racks of dresses. Some were too poofy, some were too sparkly, and some were just plain “what were they thinking?” We were looking for that perfect shade of burgundy, not too bright, not too dark, you know, just right.
Shopping Spree
We spent hours trying on dresses. I’m not kidding, hours. My feet were killing me, and I think I gained a few pounds from all the stress-eating we did in between stores. It was rough. The other bridesmaids, bless their hearts, they were troopers. We were all determined to find “the one”.
- Day 1: Visited three stores, tried on about 20 dresses. Nothing.
- Day 2: Another two stores, another 15 dresses. Still nothing.
- Day 3: We were about to give up. Then, in the last store of the day, we found them.
These dresses were beautiful. Flowy, elegant, and that perfect shade of burgundy. They looked amazing on everyone, no matter their shape or size. We all felt like queens. It was like the dress was made for each of us. It was amazing how one color could bring so much classiness and sophistication to the whole look. I remember Sarah saying she wanted the dresses to match the overall vibe of the wedding, and the burgundy did just that. It went perfectly with the flowers and decorations, which had hints of the same color.
The Perfect Match
Finding the dresses was just the first step. Then came the accessories. We wanted to keep it simple but chic. We decided on some delicate gold jewelry. It was classy. Nothing too flashy, just enough to add a little something extra.
The day of the wedding, everyone looked stunning. The burgundy dresses were a hit. They were comfortable, they looked great in photos, and they really tied the whole wedding theme together. The rich color really stood out, and everyone complimented us on our choice. The burgundy was also a great color because it’s associated with royalty and elegance, so it really added to the sophistication of the wedding.
If you’re a bride-to-be or a fellow maid of honor, and you’re thinking about burgundy dresses, I say go for it. Just be prepared for a bit of a hunt to find the perfect ones. Trust me, it’s worth it. And remember, it’s not just about the dress, it’s about making memories with your best friend.
