Bridesmaids Dresses

I'm leaning towards bridesmaids dresses in a variety of styles and shades of the same color. I originally thought they should be the same fabric, but I'm not sure how much that really matters. I even like the idea of one girl (perhaps the maid of honor) in a print to mix things up. 
Here are a few of my current favorites:
J. Crew Adrienne J. Crew Mollie
J. Crew Cecelia J. Crew Juliet
Jenny Yoo Nikki Jenny Yoo Callie
Jenny Yoo Justine Jenny Yoo Alexa
Watters 8514 Lela Rose 107
Lela Rose 127 Dessy 2785
David's Bridal 84265 BHLDN Couplet
BHLDN Floating Frock BHLDN Savoy
BHLDN Sway and Swirl

Nautical Necklines: Boat Neck Wedding Dresses

I'll be honest: I can't wear strapless dresses. I fidget and pull and there's no way I can dance when I'm worried my dress is going to fall down. Style icon Audrey Hepburn had it right. Boat necked dresses are elegant and just a little modest, and  a sheer fabric such as chiffon or lace keeps them from being frumpy. And what neckline is more nautical than a boat neck?





The dress with a boat neck I found most recently is called "Ducado" by La Sposa
I like the combination of lace on the skirt with a plain sheer neckline.
