New year, new dresses

I do hope you've all had a properly wonderful christmas. I certainly have, but this whole new year business has really made me realise that the wedding clock is well and truly ticking. Goodness. It's just over 6 months to the big day, so I'm starting to think bridesmaids dresses.

This may sound a tad oxymoronic and ridiculous, but my main aim is that my girls don't look too, well, bridesmaidy. So I'd love to find something on the high street. One of the best I've seen so far is this pretty Etienne dress from Monsoon. I'm loving the lace and scalloped hem. And I reckon it'd look suitably vintage country wedding with a string of pearls and a cute chignon.
