Dress Shopping with the Girls

On Sunday, we met nephew Alex and his bride to be, Michelle,

at the bridal shop in Ankeny to have Emma try on the dress

Michelle wanted her to wear as flower girl in

their July wedding. Skyler is playing the piano for the wedding

and she loves dressing up, so she also had to try on

fancy wedding dresses. Below is my favorite pose of Skyler...

Except it makes her look much older than her real age of 6!

Emma usually isn't shy, however she didn't want to stand on

the bridal platform without Mommy for the first time!

Below is Mommy (my baby sister, Pam) and Emma

modeling the dress Michelle had picked out for her to

wear as flower girl. The pink socks add an extra

elegant touch, don't you think?

She also had to pose with Michelle, bride to be.

They are both so darn cute!

After trying on the flower girl dress, the girls had to try
on several other dresses, just because it was so much fun!
Here's Emma in an elegant black and white dress.

Skyler finally found the dress she wanted! It was actually
a turquoise color and I did a quick change in photoshop
to make it more of a charcoal grey color, which is what
Michelle's bridesmaids will wear in the wedding.
This dress is very similar to the bridesmaid dresses.
It was a little long, so the bridal shop is going to see if
they can make a shawl out of the extra they'll cut
off the bottom of the dress. It will also have little
spaghetti straps to help hold it up.

Aren't they beautiful in their elegant dresses?

My favorite shot of the two of them together. Skyler was
wearing a little tiara (hence the tag hanging from her head)
and both were holding bridal boquets.
They had a blast and so did I!
