Found theses dresses on Overstock.com...

I came across these similar dresses on Overstock.com

and

There is also a third dress that is similar to these two, but it has a weird keyhole opening in the back that I think will look awkward.
















 

I am tempted by these dresses because they are the color I am looking for, and they are only $60.  I would be afraid that they may not fit right, and this could involve ordering a number of dresses that may have to be returned.  It appears that Overstock will pay for the return shipping by giving you a label to affix to a box to send back, but I'm not sure about the policy.  Also, I don't know if they consider "trying on a dress" to be "using" it, therefore, making it unreturnable. 

Also, they are tea length dresses.  They may be a bit long on some of the bridesmaids. But maybe not.

Would it be worthwhile to order some of these dresses to try on? Or would this be too much of a hassle?  If enough people like these dresses, I may order the sizes necessary in a bulk order and we can all try them on.  The last concern I had was that the amethyst color is not available online.  I don't know if I can call and place a special order, or if I just have to wait for it to come in.

So, give a shout out if you like these dresses enough to pursue them.  Or, these could become an alternate if we cannot find any dresses when we go shopping (eventually).

Transportation Ideas

I was thinking about transportation for the wedding today.  We will need some sort of transportation from the church to pictures to the reception site.  Since it is a big party, I think a limo would be too small, and I'm not too fond of the SUV limo.  A party bus could work, but I started thinking about possibly renting a trolley for the transportation.  (Rachel, do you remember when a group did this for prom or one of the dances? I think it might be the same company.)  Here is the information about the trolleys.  It says that they comfortably fit 32 people, which is more than enough.  What do you think about having a trolley?  Would you like a party bus instead?  Let me know what you think!  I will have to call to get more information about the trolley, but I just wanted to see what everyone thought!
