My Bridesmaids
I have 6 bridesmaids and one junior bridesmaid. I plan on having the girls in Navy dresses with fuchsia heals! I think that will look SOOOO cute! Since we are getting married on the beach they will be barefoot for the actual ceremony and then will wear the shoes after for pics and the reception. I am planning to going shopping with my girls around January or so, but we might go earlier and see what kind of sales we can find. Here are two that I found that I really love. I also really like the idea of the convertible dresses so I think we will just see what all my girls like and go from there!
I love the Bill Levkoff dresses especially the flowy ones.
UPDATE: I went shopping with my bridesmaids on Saturday, January 21! I was so lucky that all 6 bridesmaids, my mom, and my future mother in law were all able to come so we could make some great progress! We went to a store called Marie James Dress Boutique in Denver, CO and it was wonderful! They are a store that pretty much specializes in bridesmaids dresses with some flower girl and mother of the bride as well! Well we tried on quite a few dresses and these were a couple that we loved but decided against.
Both are Bill Levkoff.

I have been looking online too and I feel in love with the idea of the convertible dress, but I didn't think they carried it at Marie James. Well we are shopping and future mother in law pulls me up to a manikin in the window and was like "is this that convertible dress you were talking about?" OMG I was so excited they had one and took it off the manikin for us to try on.
Everyone was blown away by the convertible dress so we all agreed on that one! All my girls looked great in it and loved that you can wear it so many ways! They are really so cool! Plus my BFF has one already and knew how to tie them so she was doing a different style on each of the girls! It was so much fun!
I was debating ordering the dresses of etsy or from the bridal store. Online they are about $85 plus tax and shipping. In the store it was $140 but they gave us a discount so it was only $126! We decided it was worth the extra bit of money to know that we all loved the look and feel of the fabric!
These are not the exact dress we ordered because I totally forgot to take pictures, but here is what the convertible dress looks like! It is all the same dress just worn in different styles which is the most amazing part!

So..... long story short LOL ALL of my bridesmaids placed their deposit and the dresses were ordered in estate blue which was pretty much navy, maybe a little brighter but super pretty! Here is the fabric swatch of the color we got.
Bridesmaids Shoes
I went shopping with one of my bridesmaids and we found the cutest pair of pink wedges! They are from payless and were on sale, plus I had a coupon so I got them for $18 a pair! I am super excited about them and think they are perfect with the dresses and for a beach wedding! Here is me modeling my sisters pair that I bought! They are a bit of a brighter pink in person, my cell phone camera didn't capture the color the greatest, but you get the idea!
The dress shop though did not have one small enough for my junior bridesmaid so luckily I had gotten fabric samples from the online shops so that I could compare and figure out the one fabric color that matched so I can order hers online since the seller makes junior/kid convertible dresses! I will buy hers from an etsy shop called CyNrGy Arts.
UPDATE: We got the Junior Bridesmaid's dress and she LOVES it and looks adorable!!!!

Flower Girls
I have 2 flower girls and they will be 7 years old at the time of the wedding. SInce they are going to be a bit older I wanted a dress that was fun and not too little kid-ish, but not too grown-up either. I was so excited when I found this dress and both the girls love it so we went ahead and ordered it! I can't wait for it to come and to see them in it!
Here is a picture of the dress we ordered in Navy and the other picture is one of my flower girls trying hers on!

Flower Girl Pinwheels
The two flower girls will be carrying pinwheels instead of flowers. I ordered them from seller Rule42 on Etsy. They are adorable!!!
Adam's Groomsman
Adam currently has 5 for sure groomsman, but possibly 7 if his two cousins are able to make it to Jamaica. I want to do the guys in khaki pants and button down white shirts with the sleeves rolled up and a brown belt, but really it is up to Adam. Then I would have Adam wear a navy and fuchsia tie to set him apart since we are not doing boutonnieres. I think we are going to do that look, but Adam is also thinking about white short sleeve shirts which I am not as big of a fan of.
Here are the pants and shirts that Adam and his groomsman David will wear. The sleeves will be rolled up and then David will also be wearing a dark brown belt and flip flops.
Ring Bearer
We are having FI's nephew as our ring bearer. He will be just over one years old at the time of the wedding and will be so cute! We are going to buy him an outfit that will coordinate with the groomsman. I am thinking khaki shorts and a short sleeve white shirt. We will also probably get him some cute little sandals so his feet do not get too hot! Also I am so excited that FI agreed to this, but we bought him a pinwheel boutonniere to match the two flower girls pinwheels! I think they will all look so cute and will add a fun element to the ceremony! Plus they will look really cute next to the bridesmaids parasols! I ordered all the pinwheels from etsy seller Rule42 and will post pics when I get my final product! Here is an example of what the boutonniere will look like!!
