the Bridesmaids, Veil/Cord Sponsors, and Jr. Bridesmaids
After painfully looking for the perfect bridesmaid dress....I finally settled on a Bill Levkoff dress for my girls. This is style# 966. All the dresses will be champagne with taupe sashes.
My veil and cord sponsor are wearing the same dress - but in tea length (style#301):
My junior bridesmaids will be wearing style# 96601:
FYI - the cost of the dresses I chose above at HOB locations were vastly different from the ones on HOB online. The first dress I picked out for my girls were $180+, but online, they were $140+. I originally didn't want my girls to spend that much, but then looking online, it was so much cheaper. Oh and on a weird note...their online prices could be different on each computer. Two of my friends got $140+ while me and the rest of my bridesmaids were getting $163; we ordered off my friend's computer to get the cheaper price.
Other stores reviews (maybe it'll be helpful to you):
Vera Wang (Chicago) - very nice; the shorter dresses were reasonably priced (but really wanted long dresses)
Eva's Bridal (Chicago) - very nice; the girl helping us was really helpful and when we asked her opinion, she gave us honest answers
David's Bridal (Chicago) - very nice salespeople; didn't really like the style of the dresses though
Demetrios (Schaumburg) - it was a mess...we had an appointment, but they appeared to have overbooked...half my bridal party plus my mom, my future MIL, and the flower girl's moms were left standing randomly around while it was just chaos....and we had one of their salespeople basically watching us...kind of weird.
HOB (Naperville) - very nice and left us alone to see dresses, but they had a sale going on and they had a lot of people, so it seemed a little disorganized
HOB (Schaumburg) - the first time I went, they left me on my own and I got to look at dresses; but when they assigned someone t(Inna) to me, she was really helpful; this is also when I discovered the cost difference purchasing online
