I ordered the bridesmaids dresses today. Had my final bridesmaid try on her dress and it looked amazing. The colour they tried on is as per the photo (dark purple) but the colour will be like the the longer dress.
The colour is called "rose petal" and the designer is Mori Lee. It has a detachable flowered strap which looks amazing. I think it makes the dress actually =)
Also booked is my pre-wedding night accommodation at the Mercure at Maitland!! It JUST turned into a Mercure and they had great rates. We booked a family room and a standard room and got the family room for 2 nights so we could have the later check out to be able to use it to get ready =)
We stayed at a Mercure too... very happy with the experience.
