When looking for stuff for the girls, I had to always bear in mind I needed four of everything so cost was always a factor! Yes, I'd saved me a pretty penny on buying the dresses from a catalogue, but I wanted to try and keep everything within some sort of budget!
I started out by seeing these pretty necklaces (with matching bracelet) in my Avon brochure...
As I am an Avon rep, I was able to get these with a 25% discount, so they only cost me about £3 each - bargain!
Next came the handbag - another Avon find...
Two of these were free as I had them in my "stock box" of freebies that I was able to bag myself over the years - I had to buy two more from another Avon rep at the cost of about £5 for the two - bargain again!
Next was the fascinator...
Which I found at Dorothy Perkins for £7 each - a bargain in the fascinator world as the ones I saw elsewhere were £15 - £30 each!
Finally their shoes, which was agreed at the start they would pay for.
I had seen these shoes from Faith online, and thought they were lush - I loved the rounded toe (I hate pointy shoes with a passion!) and they would tie in with the black sash round the girl's dresses.
However, I found this picture yonks ago and while casually browsing through my mum's catalogue (again!) I saw a similar pair of shoes in Empire Stores. I was actually purchasing my own shoes at the time and saw them in black also. They wanted £30 a pair for them, but were doing a special offer of 3 for 2, making them just £20 each - bargain!! I ordered myself a pair in black too, and along with my BMs shoes - 6 pairs in total and making them all £20!
All that was left was to decide on the girl's hair and make up - I left that up to their discretion for their hair as they all have different colours and styles, but we all decided together to go with lilac/purple eyeshadow...from Avon, of course!...
and a pinky coloured lip gloss...
which my Chief Bridesmaid (and sister) would apply for everyone on the morning of the wedding.
Bridesmaid dresses, accessories, hair and make up.... DONE!
