There is something effortlessly elegant, as if the girls chose the dress from their own closet and just showed up looking that perfect together. So, when Anne sent me this great before/after of her bridesmaids dress planning, I really wanted to share! I love that she was able to "map" it all out before the girls made their purchase so as to ensure that they would look beautiful together. The... [MORE]
