Hello to our lovely family! Here is the "dress code" for the wedding party:
Little Girls: Sydney, Saidey, Sophie, Samantha, Kezra and Emily.
The Little Girls will be wearing turquoise tulle tutus which I will be making in the next month or so. I will need two measurements to do this: 1- Their waist: just below the belly button (where the tutu will sit on their hips). 2- From the hip (the point of the previous measurement) to the top of the knee.
For under the tutus the girls will each need a pair of black leggings/stretch pants that go to about mid-calf or just below the knee. Preferably with the cute lace on the bottom hem :)
For their top, I just want a plain black shirt. Maybe a scoop or v-neck.
For the shoes I thought they could all just wear little black flat slippers or something. Unless you girls find something turquoise, totally adorable and in all sizes, I would love that too!
I haven't looked for any of these things in the stores or online but if you would like my help I can definitely help you find the top and the leggings. I just thought they would be pretty easy to find and would match just fine if you all did it separately.
Little Boys: Trevor & Samuelito
I will take care of the ties for the little boys. So what they will need is black dress shoes, black slacks, a white short sleeve button-up shirt and black suspenders. I have found suspenders for the men for only $6 online so I can look for the little boys too if that is necessary. Please let me know if you would like for me to do that.
Fathers: Sam & Clay
Please wear a black suit with a white shirt underneath and black shoes. I will be ordering all the ties online. The cost for the tie is $6.95 plus tax and probably a little bit of shipping.
Mothers: Patrice & Lilia
Our lovely mothers… I am not exactly set on any specific thing for you to wear. I do however have some ideas and maybe we could all go shopping together to see what we can find that will fit nicely along with everything else. I am hoping for a bold black and white print dress with a turquoise scarf or something. Let’s all get together on this one and make something work. I want to know what you think.
Brothers: Phil, Kyle, Joe, Sam N., Zach, Humberto, Brian, Sam, Daniel & Michael
You men will all be wearing black slacks, white long sleeve button up shirt and black shoes. You will also need the tie that I am ordering online and some black suspenders (preferably cross back with silver clips). I have found the ties online for $6.95 + tax & shipping. I’ve also found suspenders for $6 + tax online. If you won’t need suspenders because you already have some or you will be borrowing them from someone please let me know by JUNE 3. Otherwise I will just order both for you and your total cost will end up being about $14-$15 for both the tie and the suspenders.
Sisters: Monica, Michele, Cynthia, Heather, Holly, Heidi, Carolina, Ilsy & Jessica
Ladies, ladies… I am not exactly sure what to do with you either. I mostly am just thinking of the same thing as our moms: bold black and white print with a turquoise scarf or accent of some kind. I really want know what you think. I would LOVE to make you each a cute skirt and you could just wear a black top of your choice. Would that be okay with each of you? Maybe everyone could pitch in on material or something. I seriously would love an awesome sewing project like that. Skirts are my favorite thing to sew! Let me know your opinions please!
Young Ladies: Kayla, Katherine & Valerie
I have found an ADORABLE black dress online at Target.com. I hope there are still the needed sizes left because it is on clearance for only $13.95! If that is not available I would like to either keep looking or I could make something for you. What do you and your mothers think?
If anyone has a problem paying for anything please let me know and we will see what we can work out :) Or if you have a problem with anything at all just let me know.
I would like to hear from all of our sisters to see what you think about me making skirts for you all.
Please get back to me via e-mail: tennile2005@yahoo.com or you could just call me or just comment on this blog post.
