I need everyone's help. I am in the process of picking out a dress for Alex to wear to Steve's brothers wedding on Oct 6th. I need something that is going to look good in pictures. My bridesmaid dress is black with a champagne wrap that goes around the waist. Steve and the boys will be in tuxedos so we will all be in black. The brides dress is ivory and so is the flower girl. I checked with the bride and she does not mind if Alex is in ivory. These are the two that I found so let me know under comments your favorite. Oh, the flowers are also white and red. Basically I am avoiding colors like light green, pink, lavender, or any other pastels.
Here is dress one.
Purchased at Gymboree it is a red and ivory dress.
I also got the sweater since it is a late outdoor (weather permitting) wedding and you never know what the weather may be.Dress two.
Purchased at Carters it is a ivory dress.
Very simple and I also got the ivory sweater.
Thanks ladies!

I love both, but my fave is the red. She looks so cute! your bridesmaid's dress sounds really pretty!
I like them both too, but I think I prefer the ivory in general. There's an "Emily Post" part of me that thinks the red's better.
Here I go being the debbie downer!
I LOVE the red dress as red is my favorite color (and my anniversary is Oct. 6th too-but now I'm just rambling) BUT I just recently learned it isn't proper etiquitte (did I spell that right?) to wear red to weddings as it is a very eye catching color and takes attention away from the bride. Who knew? My bridesmaids dresses were a cranberry color (which is of course a shade of red-OOPS!)
Anyhoo, my vote is for the Ivory dress. It looks more formal to me and Alex will fit in with your family pictures. Okay, I'll end my novel now.
andrea- what? i have never heard of that. My bridesmaid dresses were red as red can be. and i don't think anyone's gonna mind if a cute baby is wearing red. i mean, they may talk about alex behind her back after the whole shibang, but who cares!? (ha.joke there) so that's my rebuttal. hehe. i stand by my red dress choice. ;)
I LOVE the ivory dress! It will make great pictures and look Fabulous with your dress and the boys tux! IVORY, IVORY!!!!!
It doesn't hurt that she is cuter than heck in it too!
Andrea I had no idea about the red dress either. That is funny because the mother of the bride is wearing read. My bridesmaid dresses were also a cranberry color.
Hey Angela - I've never been able to get a message thru here, so here it goes....my vote is for the ivory dress- looks more formal for a wedding.

Yeah! it actually posted, so I will say more. Both dresses are really cute, but I think the ivory dress will make a nice family portrait with you guys all in black! I had some free time today so thought I'd check ya'll out. All the pictures you have posted here are very cute!
Your neighbor & aunt-

Well dang, Katie. I wasn't trying to put down your suggestion or opinion (as I said I LOVE the red one too). Of course dress codes don't apply to babies, but I hadn't heard of that either until just recently so I was just explaining why Ivory was my first choice!
okay, now you just simmah down nah, Royal Family!!! haha! girl, no offense taken. just ribbin' ya there. unless, of course, you wanna take this outside!! bring it, guuuuuuuuurl. love ya. ;)
Dang girls if i would have known that this post would have caused this much excitement I would have sold tickets. Maybe next time I will post who can take who....Katie or Andrea. I kid!!! ;)
Katie my g-friend...its already been brought-en! Hee hee!
LOL sorry Angela if we used your blog as our personal boxing ring! You just never know what will cause controversy on a blog ; )
I like the ivory just a tiny bit more than the red.
I say IVORY wins!!!! Yeah!!!
I agree with the Ivory girls. Both are really cute but I think the ivory is more formal looking and will fit in better with what you all are wearing when you take photos.
Thanks ladies for all the votes! Looks like the ivory dress is the winner. I will post photos of the "big day" so stay tuned.
WHAT THE HELL? you picked ivory??? does this mean i didn't win??? i can't NOT win. i don't, i mean, it's just that, i, you know, like, i don't know how to lose. anything.
PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAASE pick the RED!!! my competive flair can't take it!
Ha. I kid you. you know me. ;) but,okay, is red like TOTALLY out? or could it still be on the table?
okay. okay. i accept the loss. the ivory wins. :)
Alex is absolutely adorable so you win either way. Oh, and someone send Katie over a Xanax. (or a shot) LOL!!!!! Katie... I kid!!
I love the red one! SO CUTE!
They are both cute, but I like the ivory better for a wedding!
