I'm shoving Megan out of the way for a moment here — she's been ogling dresses by Tova at Wedding Dress Fantasy for the past few weeks, and it's time for me to get my turn here. Ok first: how much are you freaking out over how the bride's lilac dress coordinates with her husband's dark purple velvet jacket? I'm dying.

But wait there's so much more — wait until you see what the bride had hiding under her skirt, and the suits her bridesmaids wore!

Peek-a-boo deep purple dress lining! I see you! But you know what I also see? Bridesmaids looking so hot in their matching slim-line black suits that I think my eyeballs just started boiling inside their sockets. I mean, I just… WOW. Please, can this become a thing?

Comments on Lilac dream dress + bridesmaids in suits

    • They look like different suits. The pants are definitely different on each woman – so ones they already had maybe?

    • Hi Megan, my “First Ladies” all wore the same jacket from H & M and the same purple velvet bow ties (which we had hand made for each First Lady and Best Man).
      I encouraged the First Ladies to wear whatever style of trousers/ skirt and white top they felt comfortable in as I wanted them to be individual too. And they were, all wearing a white top, shoes and accessories that were unique to their personalities 🙂

  1. how stylish is a groom in purple velvet {swoon}
    and are the bridesmaids bow-ties purple?
    the whole thing is amazing and I love the pomander bouquet!

    • And the bouquet… I asked the florist to surprise me with something purple and white that I could carry on my wrist to leave my hand free to hug guests with!

  2. Seeing those ladies in suits is one of those “Duh!” moments for me. Thank you for pointing it out that a dress is not the only option! I never really thought about it but you are totally right! And yes, those ladies are lookin’ some kinda fine!

  3. Eeeeeee I’ve just started discussions with Tova on a custom dress for my wedding next year and I KEEP THINKING I CAN’T GET MORE EXCITED AND I’M ALWAYS WRONG.

  4. I was lucky enough to be one of the First Ladies, I was super nervous about wearing a suit but I think they look fab! Isn’t Deb the most beautiful bride?

  5. Omgosh!!! You’re in my brain!!! I’ve been posting non-stop about needing help finding my Lilac wedding dress and I’ve been drooooling over this one on etsy! Just a little out of my budget though. It is so beautiful!!!

  6. *drool* this dress… it is beyond perfect! And the bridesmaid suits, such a great idea. Geez, posts like these are what makes OBB my favourite wedding website

  8. Holy crap!!!! My soon to be mother in law saw me commenting on this facebook post that you guys had…as I mentioned I’ve been drooling over this dress but could not afford it. My soon to be mother in law surprised me with a card tonight containing the cost of the dress! I’m so overwhelmed and overjoyed!!!! She said I deserve the dress I really wanted. I’m still in shock…cannot wait to order and couldn’t be more thankful!
