Let's post pictures of our bridesmaids' dresses

[LaceyinPgh]

Here is the bridesmaids' dress that I finally went with. It made me change my entire wedding from pink and white to black and white with pink accents. But my girls and I all love it! The dress is going to be black while the trim work is going to be soft pink.

[WhiskeyGirl]

My girls are wearing two different styles of dresses because my MOH is a little bigger then the other two but I will post both pics of both dresses. The dresses are in the color Claret.

This is my Matron of Honors dress:

This is my Brides maids dresses:

(they no longer have the other dress on the net...but I will find one that is similar and post it!)

http://www.morilee.com/dress.php?id=441&h=1

Its similar to this one, only it doesn't have the belt around the waist and it has a little beading at the top around the bust in a "v" shape. Its really very pretty.

I LOVE your bridesmaid dresses - how much were they if you dont mind me asking- thanks

[iluvweddings]

Just in case anyone is interested. If you find your bridesmaid gowns on-line by designers, you can order at a fraction of the price from the following locations:
www.netbride.com
www.pearlsplace.com
www.rkbridal.com
I ordered mine from pearls place and they were all under $100.00 - shipping to one address was $10 and NO TAX.

GOOD LUCK!

[sstark1218]

Wow thanks for those sites.. I have really been having a hard time trying to find dresses we all like. We only have one (tiny) bridal store where I live so I have been trying to do a lot online and this helps A LOT!! Thanks!

[iluvweddings]

No problem,
I let all of my bridesmaids choose different gowns, so that they would be comfortable and I tried to pick a neutral color so that they could wear the dress again. I didn't want to just select the typical "bridesmaid" dress.
Most of them selected Alfred Angelo styles and they ranged from $70 - $83.00
What I did was visit www.bridalco.com so that I could see the dresses, but.. I did decide on pearls place because they were even cheaper.

GOOD LUCK!

[Irie_Bride]

If I don't change my mind again then this is it...

I'm going to let my girls pick their own dresses, but the ones that I like are below. I'm going to make each girl a book that has ideas and pictures, and little poems and things about being a bridesmaid.

I like all of your dresses too!! Can anyone guess what my favorite color is?

[bnd94]

I haven't completely made up my mind. But I think it is between these two. Both in Burgundy. We are getting married on top of a mountain so I am not sure if I should go with the longer or shorter one. I know if I went with the shorter one my MOH could definetly wear it again.

[LaceyinPgh]

The bottom one, I tried on when I was looking for BM dresses for my girls. It was really cute. What you could do is get the dress shortened then leave the sash long.

[bnd94]

Do you think it would look weird if she wear the shorter dress and my dress is long? I just got thinking about that and was trying to visualize what it will look like.

[CarlosHoney]

It will look fine! Don't worry about stuff that no one will really notice. My girls will have completely different dresses. Some shorter, some long, one with long sleeves (she's muslum). It will be beautiful no matter what.

Well, except fuscha and puffy sleeves. :wink:

http://www.davidsbridal.com/bridesmaids_bycolor_detail.jsp?stid=1557&sid=4690&cfid=14

That dress is gorgeous! I wish I had seen it months ago! That is exactly my color too.

[Mama2McKenna]

Here is mine, It will be in this color. I'm getting so excited! The ruched waist band really helps my pear shaped bridesmaids!

We're making our bridesmaids' and jbs' dresses (my fiance's 3 nieces will be in the wedding and I didn't want to bankrupt them). All in all, they'll cost about $30 to make. The bms will be in a very light yellow and the jbs will be in a very light pink. We're even going to make the gms vests so that they match exactly.

This is the pattern we're using:

Those are cute. Your girls (especially the younger ones) will definately be able to wear those again without any problem.

Becky,
Don't worry about the dresses being shorter and yours being longer. My girls are in tea length dresses while I have on a full length ball gown. It looks very elegant. I am going to up the retro factor too and put them in little pink wrist length gloves.

[rainbowtreat]

Ok I am not sure how to post an url in here but if ya copy and paste the ones I post here you will see the dresses.

OK first this is the pattern for the girls dresses---- Take out the extra white peice on the skirt of the dress and take away the extra piece to go over the shoulder........... C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\dresses\6454bnl.JPG

this next one is showing you the colors of the girls dresses

take out the pink and add a darker pink ( fushia maybe ) and add an orange to the mix......... C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures\dresses\LrgBq8.jpg

[CarlosHoney]

Rainbowtreat, you can only see them if we're in your computer. I'm not a hacker. I don't know how to see them! :lol:

You can get a free account with www.photobucket.com and post them with that.

[courthay]

Irie_Bride where did you find your bridesmaids dresses? I love them! I migt actually change my mind if I can find something like this:

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a272/aventlm/bridesmaiddress1.jpg


Well so far these are my bridesmaids dresses. The price is only $60, so it won't break the bank of my bridesmaids! My colors are black and white, with accents of light pink.

Take Care All,

Here is a pic of the bridesmaid dress my sister (MOH) and I like.

[rainbowtreat]

OK I will try this again.

Here are the colors of my bride maids dresses ( change the pink to a fushia and add and orange to the mix )

and then the style, i found the pattern but not a picture of the actual dress, take out the extra white piece in the front, the dresses are going to be the solid colors

[Mrs.J.C.M.]

my girls dresses are similar to yours, strapless, just under th knee, A line, navy, with about a 3 inch ivory band just under thier boobs, the ivory band will tie into a nice bow at the back. i cant post a pic becuase im on a laptop and cant scan...ill try to use our other computer to show a pic.

[usahgrad]

Aww rainbow! Those are really beautiful colors! That should be so pretty!

[rainbowtreat]

Thank you usahgrad. I can't wait to see it all come together. When I was out lookign at dresses once i put dresses together with these colors. It looked so nice I cant wait to see all the girls dressed up. Now if I could just find MY dress then we would be all set lol.

[usahgrad]

I hate to say it...it's not your dress...it's your shoes. Let me tell you! You find the PERFECT dress and then you've got to find the shoes to go with it. If it wasn't so taboo, I'd have an Garden of Eden themed wedding...lol! :)

[Jenn060306]

This is the top we chose. It's in Cloud Blue. They have to be ordered soon!
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c94/jenn060306/WEdding/bridesmaidtop.jpg

I gave the girls a choice of either skirt. Everyone has chosen the green one which is A-Lined.We're making it in black satin.
http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c94/jenn060306/WEdding/bridesmaidskirt.jpg

Hopefully these will look nice together :D

[usahgrad]

Wow, that sounds really beautiful! I love those skirts! Glad to see that worked out for you!

Oh my...edible wedding dresses...those could lead to very short ceremonies and receptions...;)

[ikkin510]

Ok, here are the 3 dresses that I found that are the finalist. They will be in a medium brown color.

http://www.thebridalshop.com/Forever_Yours/76102.htm
This one is my least favorite. I think it may be a little to springy.

http://www.thebridalshop.com/Forever_Yours/76103.htm
This would would have a burnt orange for the trim and buttons.

http://www.cabridal.com/scripts/maidview.asp?idproduct=119
I really like this one too.

Let me know what y'all think. Thanks!

[Tiggerprincess]

ok guys here's mine........I thought it was perfect!!!

[usahgrad]

Nikki...those are ALL really gorgeous! The only input I have is that if you have a bridesmaid that is well endowed, I wouldn't go with the last one; the girl looked HUGE in it as it was... They were all beautiful though. Good luck!

I kinda like it with the sleeves but its pretty either way.

[CarlosHoney]

If they want the sleeves they can keep them. I just think that it looks better without. It's their dress, though, so you know.

[CindySue]

Youre right, either way its pretty. I just like the way the wispy sleeves match the wispy bottom.

[CarlosHoney]

Yep. My dress is sleeveless, I think that's why I was going to opt for their removal.. But if someone's got arm issues, I can work with it.

[CindySue]

Hey did that dress come from JCPennys? Thats where the one Im looking at is from and I saw one similiar to yours on their website. Priced VERY well for that style of dress. i was inpressed!

[CarlosHoney]

Yes, from JCPeneys. There was another one similar without sleeves, but it didn't come in my color.

[rainbowtreat]

I love the dress. And the color. Very pretty. And I like the sleevs to. i guess I would have to see a picture of it without them to see if I would like it that way or not. Very nice though.

Here's my Bridesmaid dresses. They are 2 piece & will be in this color too...white tops and turquoise skirts.

This is the dress my Maid of honor (not having any bridesmaids) has ordered, it's by Lazaro and we are having it in 'dogwood' which is a lovely pink color.

Here is the dress that my MOH and BM's will be wearing. It took forever for the girls to finally decide on a dress that they all liked we will be ordering them in Dec. this is also the color that they are ordering them in,

http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j247/cherubfaces/BMdress.jpg

[Jopet]

These are mine, I drew them myself because I knew what I wanted and my mum will make them for me. They will be pink with a black band under the bust (and thinking of adding a brooch in the middle of band) and will also have black tulle coming out the bottom :) and each dress will have a different neckline.

[SaralovesMike]

This is my favorite so far, all my girls like it. We just have to see if it looks good on all of them.

I was gonna do all 3 in different dresses/same color, but if we go with this one then they will all wear it.

http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g202/bambi219/dress6.jpg

[kevinsbride2B]

I'm so envious!!!! I want my girls to go shopping like 2 months ago lol. It' still early for them but still I want them to go so I can get all excited about how they look!!!!
All I know is that there gonna be long to the floor, and a light pink. I'm hoping for strappless or thin straps.
All of these weddings are going to look so nice! And those of you showing your pics of weddings past, they look just fabulous!

[scifivxn]

My gown is custom designed, by a dressmaker that specializes in Victorian dress reproduction...down to the undergarments!

It's a beautiful late 1870's-early '80's bustle gown in ivory taffeta with saphire blue piping and underlayers.

My bridesmaids are in black, (except for my maid of honor who will be in the same blue taffeta that will be on my dress) in simpler versions of my dress with their choice of bodice style. They can go with the sleeveless, or with either of the two sleeve lengths. Some are self conscious about their arms, so a few wanted sleeves. The pix are in the attachment below. I didn't know how to make it display.

My dress, including authentic steel boned corset and petticoats, all custom sized and fitted and designed exactly as I imagined, comes to less than $750.

I'm $250 under budget and couldn't be happier!
