Lilac dream dress + bridesmaids in suits #Fashion#bridesmaids#purple dress#superficial snack#wedding dress fantasy March 11 2013 | Ariel arielmstallings Photos by: Robert Emmett Photography by Robert Emmett I'm shoving Megan out of the way for a moment here — she's been ogling dresses by Tova at Wedding Dress Fantasy for the past few weeks, and it's time for me to get my turn here. Ok first: how much are you freaking out over how the bride's lilac dress coordinates with her husband's dark purple velvet jacket? I'm dying. But wait there's so much more — wait until you see what the bride had hiding under her skirt, and the suits her bridesmaids wore! Peek-a-boo deep purple dress lining! I see you! But you know what I also see? Bridesmaids looking so hot in their matching slim-line black suits that I think my eyeballs just started boiling inside their sockets. I mean, I just… WOW.

Her dress! It's so stunning! Serious dress envy! Reply I love wearing suits so bad. Sign me up! Reply OH MY GOD THOSE SUITS. That is all. *stares* Reply I love the dress and the suits. Any info on where the suits were purchased? Reply They look like different suits. The pants are definitely different on each woman – so ones they already had maybe? Reply Hi Megan, my "First Ladies" all wore the same jacket from H & M and the same purple velvet bow ties (which we had hand made for each First Lady and Best Man). I encouraged the First Ladies to wear whatever style of trousers/ skirt and white top they felt comfortable in as I wanted them to be individual too. And they were, all wearing a white top, shoes and accessories that were unique to their personalities 🙂 Reply Damn girl, you knocked it out of the park here! Gorgeous!! Reply Gorgeous! I love the suits, and the lilac dress. So pretty! Reply lilies + purples + purple velvet + ladies in suits with heels + perf photos lurrrrve! Reply The dress looks so beautiful. I want to get one. Reply how stylish is a groom in purple velvet {swoon} and are the bridesmaids bow-ties purple? the whole thing is amazing and I love the pomander bouquet! Reply Excellent spot on the bow ties! Reply And the bouquet… I asked the florist to surprise me with something purple and white that I could carry on my wrist to leave my hand free to hug guests with! Reply Seeing those ladies in suits is one of those "Duh!" moments for me. Thank you for pointing it out that a dress is not the only option! I never really thought about it but you are totally right! And yes, those ladies are lookin' some kinda fine! Reply Gorgeous!!! Wow, serious dress envy!! Reply Eeeeeee I've just started discussions with Tova on a custom dress for my wedding next year and I KEEP THINKING I CAN'T GET MORE EXCITED AND I'M ALWAYS WRONG. Reply I was lucky enough to be one of the First Ladies, I was super nervous about wearing a suit but I think they look fab! Isn't Deb the most beautiful bride? Reply where did the groom get his suit? Reply so excited that Tova will be making my dress. 🙂 Reply Omgosh!!! You're in my brain!!! I've been posting non-stop about needing help finding my Lilac wedding dress and I've been drooooling over this one on etsy! Just a little out of my budget though. It is so beautiful!!! Reply *drool* this dress… it is beyond perfect! And the bridesmaid suits, such a great idea. Geez, posts like these are what makes OBB my favourite wedding website Reply OMG!!!
