Bridesmaids Galore

Lots of brides are choosing colors and letting their maids pick their own dress.  However, if you want the consistency of the same dress, but don't want to make your maids pay a ton, your options can be limited.  My bridal party was made up of mostly out-of-towners so I didn't want them paying a lot of money for a dress they may or may not like especially since they had to pay for their travel to the wedding.  I love Forever 21!  They have such cute dresses and lots of options.  My only warnings are:


1.)  Make sure your maids order their dress right away because stores (that are not "Bridal" stores) can quickly run out of specific sizes.


2.)  Pay attention to hem-lines, especially if you order from a more "teen-friendly" store. 


3.)  Take notice of the fabric.  Sometimes the fabric can look a little cheap in person.


PS....I must really like lists, post #2 and I can't get away from them.   


One thing I found most helpful was having my maids order online.  Since they were all over the country, choosing a dress they could all order online made my life much easier.  


So let the link madness begin!!  I found a bunch of dresses I thought would work for a wedding....enjoy! 

Belted Floral Dress

I looooove when brides choose a print dress, and I adore the sweet sleeve!

Aphrodite Knit Dress



Pleated Career Dress

Classic and tailored. 

Beaded Ruffle Party Dress

This color is amazing and I love the subtle ruffle details.

Lattice Knotted Dress


Silky Diamond Print Dress

I love this style dress for a more casual wedding.  Smack on a red lip and a low chiffon bun and you got yourself a perfect ensemble for an outside affair.

Rosette Epaulet Dress

Sweet, simple, and a little saucy with rosettes on the shoulder.

Falling Bow Dress

Another perfect dress for a casual summer wedding.  Who says a maids dress needs to be fancy?  Why not choose something overly simple and easy to wear then doll it up with amazing accessories?  Or leave it plain and have their accessory be a gorgeous bouquet.

Polished Cocktail Dress

There's even something for the sophisticated bride.

Ponte Rosette Dress


Floral Lace Dress with Belt


Brushed Satin Dress with Leatherette Belt


Sleeveless Silk Bow Dress

I am obsessed with this neutral color right now for maids.

Satin Floral Print Dress

How fun would this be!

Pleated Bib Dress
