Vickie's Vintage hosts bridal party events. The staff clears the main floor so the small group can have fun fitting their dresses and picking out accessories.
Here, Richelle's bridesmaids get to meet and try on their dresses for the wedding.

L to R Lily(maid of honor--Richelle's Childhood BF), Vickie, Barbie Roberts, and Lara Roberts from BMR Enterprises..
Vickie: Well thank you ladies, you are all going to look very special for the big day!
Lara: I'm not sure how I will wear mine, it's great that Richelle is letting us improvise!
Barbie: I love the color, and Lily---those streaks are a great idea, but I'm not that courageous.
Lara: I can't do anything with my hair except let it hang there!
Lily: It will wash out with a few shampoos. The airlines are pretty strict on what we can and cannot do.

Lily: Well it was great to meet you all, but I have to catch a ride to the airport. I'll see you all on Saturday!
Meanwhile, the bride and moms are upstairs!

Richelle: What do you think, is it still too much? Too poofy?
 |

Monnie: (Richelle's Mom) Oh, Sweetie, you look divine!
Sandi: (Ryan's Mom) A little poof is perfect ...Richelle, you are radiant!
 |

Richelle:(I can't believe it's going to finally happen) Oh, do you think so---? I'm beginning to get nervous, there is still so much to do!
 |

Richelle: And Mom you both look divine. Sandi, that color purple is perfect for you, and Mom...you look ready to get married all over again!

Vickie: OMG...three weddings in one week. And all of them the last minute practically.
 |

Zoe: Richelle was so lucky picking up those dresses over the last three years. I don't even know what I'm going to do tomorrow. The ladies all looked perfect though.
Vickie: Have I told you lately what a great boutique manager you are! Thanks, so much, Zoe. Finding that dress for Sandi was amazing...she looked divine!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Zoe: Thanks, Vickie. Well, when are you and Joe going to have your wedding?
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Vickie: Well let's look at the calendar. Yikes, what do you have down in July?
Zoe: Well, both Carly and I are done with classes, so we can be here all the time. So, we could handle anything which needs to be done. Tory said she could be back-up, if you wanted to escape.
 |

Vickie: We wanted to have a destination wedding...in Costa Rica. (Sigh) But, that's really not realistic right now. Even though they have lifted travel restricitons.
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Vickie: We really are married already in our minds...like an old married couple. Maybe someday!
 |
| barbieoldnewgreenredo |
Zoe: Life is too short ...to wait for someday! Let's finish up---I'm really glad Carly is opening up tomorrow in the morning.
Vickie: Thank goodness for both of you...yes, let's lock up!

You are a great story teller I love the story line and how you illustrate with the dolls.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, glad you are enjoying---lots more coming! Sandi
DeleteLove Vickie's ring! Looks like ~everyone~ is getting married... I guess June really is the month:@)
ReplyDeleteI gave myself a deadline, because my doll club had brides as a theme...this month...so almost getting it together!!! Hugs, Sandi
DeleteWell when I saw "wedding dress" in the tag line, I made a bee-line for this post to visit the boutique. How much fun is this!!! But tell your ladies not to worry. In Barbie land, there's a Ken groom waiting on a store shelf waiting to walk her to the alter. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, the eternal couple...lol. I actually had to go buy two tuxes---because the newer dolls are taller and all my old vintage tuxes had short legs or narrow shoulders or something else unacceptable. Richelle is a simple gal---and all the dresses I had were TOO MUCH on her...so we altered one. Such is bride issues. I was thinking how you could have whipped up exactly what she wanted...LOL. Hugs, Sandi
