Maids & Matrons

Ok. I have to be honest here. I have no idea what to write about today, so I decided to share my bridesmaid fashion with you.

So, my ladies will be wearing a black cocktail dress of their choice, black shoes, an orange pashmina, and I am making some super cute red shoe clips for their shoes. I'm kind of going for an uncomplicated, painless approach to bridesmaidery. After all, my bridesmaids are scattered all over the country and it would only complicate things (an possibly inspire me to elope) if I had to co-ordinate sizes, styles, ordering, and payments.

I'm hoping the red flowers/shoe clips will balance out the black and orange (i.e. halloween-esque) aesthetic of the dresses and pashminas. After all, who wants their wedding guests to start craving candy corn as you are about to walk down the aisle? Though I knew that the halloweenish color scheme could be problematic, I love the idea of red and orange being my wedding colors--so I'm going with it....candy corn cravings be damned!
