the coordinated party

Coordinating the bridal party with the bride's look is a classic way to go and here are some beautiful examples from brides.com. I am mad about the pretty sage green capelets and the gorgeous necklace the bride in the top photo is wearing. I'm not 100% sure about bridesmaids in white but apparently the original purpose of bridesmaids was to confuse evil spirits to keep the bride from harm on her wedding day. To do this the bridesmaids were suppossed to look like the bride so if you are superstitious this may be the way to go!
