Trying to find dresses for your bridesmaids can be a real challenge. But remember, they are the ladies who keep you calm, cool and collected on your big day and you owe it to them to find dresses that:
a) Look good on a variety of body types
b) Don’t cost an arm and a leg
c) They might actually wear again!
As you know, the SmartBride Boutique team strongly believes that the whole bridal party should be able to have their cake and eat it too! So here are three delicious “save” options (we’re talking under $200!) that could see all of your best friends smiling down the aisle and dancing the night away!
Save: Girl Friday Liz Dress: $130
Toronto designer Rebecca Nixon owns Girl Friday and has a host of simple and elegant dresses that can complement your big day. Dresses come in a variety of colours and prices range from $125 to $150. And to let you in on a little secret, if you purchase a dress between now and October 10 and mention SmartBride Boutique, you’ll get 20% off. Might be reason enough to sneak in a pretty rehearsal dinner dress for you too!
