Changing the Dresses...

...for the bridesmaids that is!

About a month ago, we had decided on a bridesmaids dress. But it was chiffon, and I really dislike chiffon fabric. It just wasn't what I pictured. Then finally I decided that maybe I should give the whole mis-matched bridesmaid dresses a shot. Shocking, right?! I realized that it was more important for me that my bridesmaids be happy with their dresses, and I also figured they would look even more fabulous if they were wearing dresses they felt good in.

I started my research with the Dessy Group, the Alfred Sung collection. This collection is very reasonably priced (for bridesmaid dresses anyway) and I love how modern and cool they look. I chose four dresses and sent them off to the girls for their opinions. Here were their choices!

Option #1

It has pockets. So cool!

Option #2

I'm a sucker for bows, and I love the simplicity of this dress. Plus it was the lowest price point out of all the choices.

Option #3

Ok, I am OBSESSED with this dress. Seriously, I adore ruffles. This one is a true halter, with an open back. Plus, I love the bow at the waist!

Option #4

This dress is a little bit different than three, it has a closed back and a straighter skirt, but because of the ruffles I threw this choice in as well.

I loved the fabric, and thought it would be both comfortable and light weight. And while dresses three and four are very similar, because of the $30 price difference, I figured I would throw them both in there. And guess what? No one picked dress #4!

So the first three dresses are (I hope!) the dresses my girls will be wearing. I think that they are all similar enough that they will look gorgeous in photos! I feel really confident and excited about these choices and I think my girls feel the same way :)

How did your search for bridesmaid dresses go? Did you go the mis-matched or all-the-same look?

  1. I went with mismatched bridesmaid dresses too! My bridesmaids will be choosing any cotton sateen David's Bridal bridesmaid dress in the color Mailbu. I absolutely LOVE the dress choices for your bridesmaids. If I were in a wedding, I would be happy wearing any of those dresses! :)
