My friends aren't alike -- why should their dresses be?

This past summer, my best friend B tied the knot. Her wedding was SO poignant (I really love the time devoted to scripture, music, and Christ in Catholic ceremonies) and SO fun (canoeing, picnicking, and dancing at the reception anyone?)

The wedding was also so creative. This creativity began whenever B told us each to wear "our favorite blue dress." She wanted to see a "sea of blue."

This is how it turned out:

I absolutely love the new trend toward mismatched bridesmaid dresses.

Though not quite as free-for-all, I'm having each of my bridesmaids wear their choice of a little black dress. I know they will all look stunning (and like themselves!)
