I think they will look good with the outfit. 
Seem both comfortable and pretty. There are some IRL photos on Amazon from the reviews… look better than in product photos.

Congrats @conmama – so exciting!
@Himom, that duster is gorgeous!
My D is getting married next May and I’ll be reading this thread with interest. I’ll wear long in a jewel or slightly muted jewel tone, I believe, but I’m waiting for more instruction. My other two Ds are the only other bridesmaids so I also want to see what they select.

@collage1 - D1 is getting married next May (4th) too. D1 wants me to wear a long dress probably in a jewel tone. We can compare what we both find out there!

After all of my research and preparation, they are now predicting chilly and cloudy for my nephew’s wedding Saturday evening. So the white hat is staying home. I am bringing the scarf!

Lol on the weather.
It’s never what you think it’s going to be, is it? At least in some parts of the country

Boo—the silver/pewter wedges from Amazon are just not as comfortable as I hoped and threatened to give me blisters just from trying the sandals on. I think I will start hunting more earnestly and maybe go to a few shoe stores.

Wondering how @Colorado_mom son wedding went and if she felt like a million bucks in her dress of choice!!!

Thanks for asking. It was a splendid celebration.
And yes, I did feel like a million bucks. Partly because of the dress (which was perfect pick for the outdoor venue and Garden Semi-Formal guideline, dress selection finalized once I felt that the busy bride had time for me to pester her with questions/photos). But mostly I was on cloud 9 because everything was planned so well, so many special moments with the couple and family and other guests.
Few MOB/MOG can boast dancing to Uptown Funk (and many other tunes) with their joyful 96 year old dad. I do have a bit of a funny story… will post it in Fitness thread.
Loved the way my floral print had some lavender to coordinate with daughter’s bridesmaid dress.

You look great, happy and sounds like a very special time!
Here was my “purse”, decorate with three of my mother’s many vintage butterfly brooches (she collected them).

Got my fingernails and toenails done today. We’re leaving on Monday for GA, will arrive on Wednesday, relax on Thursday, rehearsal on Friday, wedding on Saturday.
I’m rather surprised at how hard this is hitting me. On the 24th, our son will take a wife and our presence in his life will recede, as it should, but it’s still bittersweet. I keep savoring memories of his baby and boyhood and wondering how it went so fast and how we got here and why I’m finding it so hard to relinquish him even though he’s been gone and launched for some time now. I feel deep pangs at passages no matter how positive they are. Marriage is a great milestone marking another notch on our son’s adult belt and a new era in my and DH’s story. I know he’s a man with a life of his own, but that man is still baby, toddler, child, and teenager in my heart’s vault. There’ve been so many breath-catching moments these past weeks. I don’t know how I’m going to make it through the wedding. There just isn’t enough Kleenex.
We talked on the phone tonight for a very long time. I told him how much I love him and what a wonderful husband I know he’ll be. I wanted him to know that his father and I understand that his marriage and his wife come first, always, and that he should never feel any concern or guilt in relation to us when he has to make decisions or change plans to put his wife and family first. We are thrilled that he is bringing us a wonderful daughter-in-law, and we hope the years erase the “-in-law” part as she gets to know us and understand what it means to be loved by this family. But, most of all, I wanted him to know that although our parenting role has (long) expired, our love never changes, and we are always here for both of them whatever that may look like.
Now, on to the wedding!

Just beautiful. 
No one takes those precious memories away of his childhood and you might be surprised that your relationship may stay much the same. Just with one more very important person in his life.
Cheers to a wonderful week ahead!

And now here I am crying into my coffee.
As a mother of 2 boys, I can so relate to your post.
I hope it’s a joyous time, and everything goes as planned.

I cried less than expected at son’s recent wedding day. Lots going on that day to keep me distracted. But… he’s 31 and had been engaged 3.5 years, so I had lots of time to prepare. Still expecting there might be a good cry when we get back home next week.

What a lovely post and you captured beautifully how we feel, those of us with sons. I, too, find myself walking too much down memory lane and it makes me sad. I’ve been really trying to focus on the future and future fun. It’s not easy sometimes.
