70 days - and a little rant for DB haters/Groomsmen attire

Okay, so for some reason this is really getting to me and it makes me want to throw things at people...there are a lot of people on weddingbook and on other wedding websites that have been calling David's Bridal the K-Mart/Wal-Mart of wedding dresses. That really sorta kinda demeans those who bought their dress at David's Bridal doesn't it. Kind of like saying, "your dress sucks because it came from David's Bridal. I am going to look down at you and think you are underneath me"

I love my dress...it is the perfect price...and is everything I wanted in a wedding dress...my heart skips a beat when I think about wearing it on the big day. I mean in the end a wedding dress is just a piece of fabric like all clothes...why the hell does it matter where the frick you get it from? 

Also honestly...all white wedding dresses, they all look the same to me. It is the same concept over and over and over. The wedding dress found on the rack of a locale bridal store can pretty much be found in the exact EVERYTHING at David's Bridal....bah. I mean really, it is all the same thing. That is one of the reasons I didn't want an all white dress, because they are all the same.

Yes, there will be a lot of people with my dress...but my dress also comes in like 12 dif colors...and a dress will look different according to the person wearing it, the bridesmaids/groomsmen outfits, the flowers, THE GROOM...bah

Why in the world does it matter? I mean really folks...are we really that narcistic? 

All righty..so with 70 days until W'day, I am in the process of getting all the groomsmen/usher/father outfits figured out. I am having some what of a hard time due to the fact that my bridesmaids are each wearing a different color...why not have the groomsmen all wear matching vests to their bridesmaid..that is easier said then done because my last bridesmaid in Holly, a matching color DOESN'T exist. I do have three of the four picked out

Geometrics peridot for the Best Man, this color actually does match the peridot bridesmaid dress, great match

Rio Chocolate for the Latte bridesmaid. There actually is a Latte vest but we both agreed, the chocolate looks a little better. We might change our minds and go with the Herringbone Latte..but yeah.

Rio Fushia for the Watermelon bridesmaid. There is a watermelon but we both LOATHE the pattern (Tuscany)...so that is pretty much out of the running. I think I was told another one of the patterns had Watermelon has a color option but not according to the Men's Warehouse website.

For my holly bridesmaid (not her dress, now discontinued) we have Herringbone Hunter (left) or Bellagio Clover (right). Brandon is wearing the Herringbone Hunter because he likes the pattern better...we could go with Bellagio Hunter..BUT..I am wearing a clover and white dress. We could do two Hunters, which will look different because Brandon is wearing a white jacket, groomsmen four is wearing a black jacket...or do the clover, because it truth they don't match EXACTLY..the dress and vest color for the clover. So um yeah..that is the problem

For ushers (which I need to find a replacement, I have some options I just don't know if they are ACTUALLY coming because they live so far away)...I am thinking something along these colors

Bah..blogger is being dumb and won't let me make those smaller but we have:

top left: Diamond Champagne

top right: Tuscany Bisque

bottom left: Tuscany Victorian Gold

bottom right: Bellagio Honey

I know I said I don't like the tuscany pattern, but it really doesn't look to bad in the light brown/golds. I am leaning more towards the two on the bottom...probably actually the Victorian Gold, I just think it pops. I will have to see those four irl before I make my final decision..but yeah

As for the fathers, my father is going to be wearing his sage-y green suit, so I am thinking about putting him in a white vest and or tie...maybe these

Left: diamon white and right: herringbone white. Leaning more towards the herringbone, I think that is the most suphisticated of the two.

Now for the FOG (father of the Groom). He will either be wearing a black suit or no suit at all (it is up to him, but I prefer the suit) and I am thinking of some like rustic colored vests like

Top left: Diamond Gold (looks more green, almost the same color as my father's suit)

Top right: Bella Luna Cognac

Bottom: Geometrics Truffle

My two faves are the "gold" and the "truffle"...probably another one of those choices I will make when I see them in person.

So I guess it sounds like I need to get into a mens warehouse soon...yep

Okay, well that was long and fun, I guess
