So our rehearsal dinner is our alumni themed with colors of orange, white and purple. FI is wearing (probably) orange or orange seersucker pants with an orange/purple tie. (We may still do the matching VV college sash and tie, but Im not sure). Anyhoo, I want to follow the theme but still be bridal. I want a white dress with a sash/grosgrain ribbon and I'll probably do an orange headband or jewelry (just use accessories for the color)
Here's a sash from J.Crew I could use:

1. Here's classic white Lilly P eyelet dress, I really like this one and it's beautiful

2. Can't remember who this is (I think Anne Klein maybe) but I really like the shape and style - not sure if its bridal enough for me though?

3. I found these all on NOrdstrom by the way but here is one that I'm loving this season, I love that rounded neck. Obv. I couldn't do a waist ribbon or sash but I like the shape.

4. Ok, this is my favorite (according to internet viewing) - I love love love the mix of ivory/white, the eyelet - I just think its so pretty. However, this "babydoll" style is not the greatest on my figure - I've said this before but I would like to try it on.

5. I could do this J.Crew white boatneck (or the strapless one everyone has) in white - kinda typical but classic, ya know?

6. This might be my second favorite - another white Lilly eyelet. I really like the style, this shape is more flattering for me and quite a classic!

So readers, please weigh in - I'd love to hear your opinions!
We've been busy here with dress fittings, getting a veil (yay!), designing our invitations/paper stuff, getting appointments with florist and stuff next week. We are also moving FI this weekend and its graduation so we have a couple parties/dinners to attend. I'm making the yummy 7 layer dip tonight for a friend's cookout.
Thats about it in news here, I'd love to be giving you more in-depth posts & ideas but I'm just busy! Loving the bloggers/blog world though - jealous of the Boston event this summer, so make sure you take pictures!

I love both of the Lillys, and #4 is way adorable! This won't work for you if you want a white dress, but I saw this dress the other day and thought it was cute, and it would definitely go with your orange and white color scheme. Its from Harold's.

I love number 3. It looks like it would be very flattering! You want to be comfortable at the rehearsal!
I have number 5 in navy, and I love it. It's so lightweight and comfortable. I'm also a fan of the look of the buttons on the back of the dress.
I'm sure it would look great with a sash. Good luck with whatever you decide!
I am partial to the J.Crew since you want to do a sash. I love the first Lilly but I think it would be too much with the VV sash or J.Crew sash.
Love the sandals. Oh so cute.
Love the second dress. So perfect for day or night.
I think #1 is my favorite, but I love the other Lilly one too.
