Dressed to Impress
Will your bridesmaids be decked out in a long and elegant gown? Or, are you keeping things short and sweet? I’m curious–which of the following dresses (pictures below) appeals more to your style? Personally, as a former bridesmaid and soon-to-be-again, I like the idea of walking down the aisle in something pretty and wearable. So the idea of an LBD tops my list as being the “perfect” bridesmaid dress. Then again, wearing a colourful frock has its advantage as it would definitely add a punch of colour to my already-dark and neutral wardrobe.

Which of the above six would you dress your bridal party party in? Or, would you mix and match? I’d love to hear.

We’re going with the little black dress for our wedding in October. The girls look amazing in it and everyone’s excited that they’ll actually be able to wear it again! We went with Madison 3391 – a very nice dress and laces up in the back so it’s very forgiving to everyone’s different body shapes/sizes!
I also don’t like the patterned dress.
Depending on the time of year I would dress my girls in bright, dark or black tea length dress. No pattern for me either, it doesn’t seem as classy. AND the long dresses are nice, but too formal. My girls will actually be wearing three different designs, but the same colour dress (aubergine). Wedding is in October, I wanted to do the LBD but also wanted to add some colour.
I actually opted for a long & dark (Vera Wang Plum colored gown) for my maid of honor, but will be getting it shortened to suite our July wedding. I wanted something that didn’t look or feel like a maids dress, and I know we ALL have at least one of those in our closets. It was so important that it could something that could be worn again and again.
I love the long and dark. Only because ours is in winter and I don’t want the girls’ legs to get frostbite, haha :)
LBD all the way! That’s EXACTLY what I’m looking for for my girls. I think I like them all except for one: The Patterned Dress. Reason? Not because I have anything against patterns, but growing up, my mom and I (as well as all my aunts and female cousins) had ‘house dresses’ with similar looking patterns to the one pictured that we’d wear around the house while we were doing chores. That is MY personal opinion and MY personal taste and not meant to offend anyone.
Definitely going to check out the LBD you have pictured here :). THANKS!
