Bride to Mrs. ~ Dress Doctor to the Rescue!

Hi Everyone!

Well, last Friday was a trip down memory lane for me.  As you all know, my sister’s wedding is in a little over a week.  So, I - as the Matron of Honor - thought it was time I got myself in gear and take my bridesmaid dress in for alterations!  Living in Chicago, there are clearly a million dry cleaners/tailors that would be happy to take your business but I wasn’t going to trust this special dress to just anyone.  So what did I do I called the one place that I know first hand does exceptional work and has the friendliest, most helpful staff, the Dress Doctor!

If you tweet at theBrideScoop, we actually check out your suggestions and this one is AWESOME!!!  Thank you besties Mimi (Gita Woosley) and Chichi (Jess Afshar) for their article:  How to Pick Bridesmaid Dresses Without Losing Friends & Alienating People.  Repost from Mimi & Chichi.  For more of their twitter musings, check out MimiandChichi or like them on facebook.

The first thing I said when Jess asked me to be her bridesmaid was, of course, a resounding “yes.”  But then I quickly followed with “please don’t make me spend $300 on a dress I’m only going to wear once.”

A Hint of Green at Your Wedding

As we mentioned in the article this morning, green – and especially kelly green (that’s St. Patrick’s green to you) – can be a little difficult to incorporate into an elegant wedding.  But we love a pop of color and that got us to thinking about the most over the top green heel we have see lately.  And ta da!  Check it out!!!
