going to shop for bridesmaid dresses tomorrow!

I hope I find something! I ordered some fabric samples...one was the right color but the dresses are $$$$ and one looked like the right color on the website...fabric sample was not a good color AND some sort of cheap polyester...

also if FI's parents are paying for the groomsmen outfits I feel like we should then pay for the bridesmaid dresses?

Yay!! So exciting! How many BM so you have? You could make your gift to them the dress that way theybdont spend extra put of pocket to be in the wedding.

Have you looked at Ann Taylor Celebrations? At least the dresses are decent quality.

That's a good idea, I think.

They are good quality and their stores are pretty convenient.

unfortunately the colors are limited...otherwise I think that would be a great choice!

I've posted this a few times since I discovered them, but I can't help it because I'm so happy this exists! I love Alfred Angelo dresses and just learned that they have a new line designed for re-wearing and made in natural fabrics (silk and cotton). The color selection is somewhat limited, but your color may be in there (dunno what it is). I think they're super-cute!

OK well I decided on bridesmaid dresses! They are going to be Siri/peacock Duppioni. I have selected ~12 styles that I like (but the girls can choose any short style...that was just to narrow it down). I think I will ask the girls to put $50 towards the dress plus shipping.

Sounds like a wonderful middle ground. Share the dress styles?

Great color, and the styles will look awesome together!

 

[MissStepcut]

Love the color, love the choices, and think $50 is a reasonable amount to ask them to chip in

 

[jstarfireb]

Great styles - I'm happy to see ones that look like they'll flatter different body shapes (A-line skirts, higher vs. lower necklines, etc.). I did something similar by asking my bridesmaids to pick out their own dress from the same designer/fabric/color/length. They coordinated well together.

Love the brand, love the color, love the different styles, love the gesture of paying for nearly all of the dress! Nicely done!
