A BRIEF GUIDE TO BRIDESMAIDS

So, during my usual blog stalking I came across this video clip " A brief Guide to Bridesmaids". Being a bridesmaid myself for my brother and soon to be sister in- laws wedding, I found this little clip amuzing. Any girl that has been a bridesmaid or will some day be one, check this out. It's cute and entertaining. The Dessy Group (bridesmaid dresses) created this to go along with their new website launch BridesmaidGuide.com

P.S. I will be wearing Sage for my dress ;)
