good morning, ladies!  check out these opulent bridesmaid gowns from 
Ulla-Maija's fall 2011 collection.  it's been a while since i've gone to a wedding where the maids dressed in ballgown attire, but that's not to say it can't be done in an elegant manner--any of you out there choosing to go for the formal, black-tie route?
