How to order your bridesmaid dress

It sounds like it will be best to order the dresses from the website at the end of September. I will send everyone that is ordering a reminder on Thursday, September 29 to order their dresses. Once the first dress is ordered, I will receive a call from the store to get the names of each bridesmaid so they will know how many to wait for before placing the order.

The information you will need to know to place an order:
- color: eggplant (both dress color and trim)
- no extra length or rush delivery needed
- size: if you don't remember, just follow the guidelines to measure yourself
- wedding party name: Alexx McCoy
- bride's phone number...hope you all know this! 502 4632 with a cinci area code
- wedding date: 6/23/2012
- choose the option to wait for others

THE Bridesmaid Dress

After picking through a number of bridesmaids dresses at Wendy's Bridal, we found a very cute dress!  I think the dress is adorable, and I really like the style. After we left the store, Jessica was able to find the style dress on the designer's website, and we can find it cheaper online than in the store, even with the discount.  The dress is style #60012 from DaVinci bridesmaid dresses. I found the dress for a good price at the Wedding Accessory Superstore Online.  The dress will be in the color eggplant.  The shipping will be $10.50 per dress, making it $155.04 for the dress. 

I would like to order these dresses within a few months, but I understand that is still months before the wedding.  Before we order any dresses, I need to figure out who would be able to pay for their dress now (i.e., order it directly from the website) and who would need more time before paying for the dress.  For those, I can place the order for the dresses, and then when it is possible, you can pay me back.  Think about if you would be able to spend that money soon.  I will talk to everyone individually and figure it out before we place any orders.

Also, with ordering online, you need to make sure you remember your size, or remeasure yourself to find the correct size.  The website has some good tips on doing measurements, if you need to do them or redo them. I would read over them.
