Dear budget Fashionista,
I am getting married in July – Yipee! I was wondering if you have any suggestions of where to locate bridesmaids dresses that will not take months and months to receive and can fit modest budgets.
Answer: It used to be that bridesmaids dresses were where good taste went to die. any happiness you felt for your friends pending nuptial was replaced by the dread of having to pay $300 to wear some awful puffy dress. Fortunately, times have changed. Here’s some terrific options for bridesmaid dresses on a budget:
1. Coco Myles has terrific customizable dresses that are available in a variety of colors and sizes (from 2- 32). The dresses start at $125, which is a bit pricey, but it’s a terrific option if you have a large variety of sizes and shapes in your wedding party.
2. You can also purchase formal dresses from the Merona Target line at Target.com. The big box retailer has a pretty excellent collection of formal dresses, most for under $50 in sizes 2-18.
3. You can also take a peek at this summer’s new girlie cotton dresses, available at stores like Gap, J Crew, and Old Navy. Make these dresses bridesmaid formal by putting a large ribbon around the waist and asking your bridesmaids to wear heels.
4. also try stores like Newport-News.com, Spiegel.com, and Chadwicks.com
5. You can also go the standard route by heading to a place like David’s Bridal. The store has a large range of sizes, but the look can be a bit generic.
Last but not least, lots of brides are choosing to let their wedding party pick their own dresses. This is maybe the cheapest option, but you run the risk of your bridesmaids choosing a dress that may be a bit too casual.
Happy Shopping,
