#TBB Tip: Dressing the Bridesmaids!

#TBB Tip: Dressing the Bridesmaids!

Who says being comfy can't be cute? Keep everyone comfortable, cute and coordinated by picking a signature item for the bridal party to wear. I selected black terry cloth sundresses for my bridesmaids. Each dress featured the stitched initial of each bridesmaid in alternating pink/white & black/white. Be sure the item is a garment that the bridesmaids will want to wear again. (And they have! I've seen them put to good use!) My junior bridesmaid and I wore matching white robes.

"A Labor of Love" :: Byrd-Reed Wedding Party Community Service Project

Patrick (my fiance') and I often express how blessed we are to have such a wonderful host of family and friends. During our initial wedding party selection process, we wanted to make sure that our wedding party was a reflection of those members of our family and friends who have stood by our sides and will continue to stand with us for years to come. This awesome group of people are truly a support system for us!

So, you can imagine what a wonderful surprise we received when we were informed that our bridal party had organized a day of community service in honor of our upcoming nuptials! Patrick and I both work in professions that afford us the opportunity to give back daily. Thus, this community service project was a wonderful way to commemorate our upcoming wedding.

Home Stretch, the organization that we worked with, provides housing for families in the Fulton County (Georgia) area who have lost everything and need a new start. Please visit Homestretch.org to find out ways that you can help! It was such an amazing day of giving back! We are truly blessed to bless again!
