The ramblings and rumblings of a graphic designer bride

Originally I was going to have all of my maids (I have three of them) wearing the same dress. After looking at a ton of wedding photos on the net, I really grew to love the mismatched look, and I think it’s totally Barnyard Chic. Check out the photo below, from Style Me Pretty to get an idea of what I’m talking about:

So, I’m letting the ladies choose their own dresses – it can be any shade of blue and and either knee or tea length. Turns out that my sister really liked the dress I had originally chosen, so that’s the one she’s wearing. (Side note: this dress has pockets! Lately I’ve been obsessed with dresses and skirts with pockets!)

Sandra (my MOH) was having a hard time choosing between two dresses, so she came over this evening and modeled both of them for me. She’s already chosen ‘The One,’ but I’m curious – which one do you guys like better?

I like your idea of the chic mismatch. : ) I think that idea gives the idea of the occasion being more approachable… in a casual, but not too casual way. : ) I like dress A…. if my opinion counts for anything. haha.

I like dress B. It reminds me of Marilyn Monroe’s white dress. All you need is an air vent.
