but anyways, i DID find a red gown, which was my goal. unfortunately, i cannot describe it here, because the dress is going to be a surprise! the good news is that the woman (Camille Francia of Francia Bridal in Hinsdale) does her own alterations and is very confident that anything that I do not like about the dress (if anything) can be repaired/altered/fixed by her, and has even made a few suggestions already, so i am very excited about the final result... and you will have to wait!
p.s. we did buy a veil to go with the dress, which is cool because we even found a way to coordinate a veil with a red gown. very nice.
p.p.s. i did select the bridesmaids dresses and shoes (Flamingo or Riviera in black), so bridesmaids can go and get fitted and order their stuff as soon as they'd like to. as soon as i find a link to a photo, i'll post it here.
part 2 - tuxedoes!
we stopped by Men's Wearhouse Tux today in the Oakbrook Mall, and the lady there was so nice and told us a bunch about tux rentals. this isn't something that needs to be done until 3-4 months before the wedding, but it's nice to know ahead of time. we're mulling over some sweet red/black/white combos at the moment...
