Carnation....
Just a few ideas....
If the David's bridesmaid dresses don't work out, check out
Chadwick's . They usually have very similar styles at inexpensive prices.
I had 13 attendants. Three of the ladies were designated as "Honor Attendants." They wore the same color dresses as the wedding party and processed in before the bridesmaids but were seated on the front row during the service.
I had my reception at a bed and breakfast. It was lovely and even had rooms for some guests to stay. They did a package deal for the reception, rehearsal dinner, and all of the rooms booked for the weekend. We did have a small wedding though, only 250 guests in attendance.
We had rose balls for all of the bridesmaids. Red rose balls are stunning and can have some holly or glitter sticks (How about sheaves of wheat painted with gold paint?) tucked in for just a splash of color.
Roses,
