I NEED BRIDESMAIDS DRESSES HELP!!

Chucksnblujeans · December 2010

Through all my planning, picking the bridesmaid's dresses has been the hardest task for me yet. I cannot find anything that I really like, and I really want to find dresses that won't break the bank, since a few bridesmaids are still in school. I just want some really nice, black dresses that look coordinated. I want the girls to like the dress, and I want the dress to flatter them, but I don't want it too look uncoordinated. I just can't find what I want. Any suggestions?

<div>Listen, if this is stressing you out and you can't find something that you like, that they will like, and can afford, you should do this.</div><div>
</div><div>Tell them to get a black dress in a certain length, and leave it at that.</div><div>Tell them to buy a certain designer's dress in black, but let them choose.</div><div>
</div><div>If you do decide to buy a BM dress (like a real BM dress), ask them what their budget is. And do this privately. The lowest price given should be the price of the dress you pick.</div><div>
</div><div>Look at my married bio. My girls all wore different black Jim Hjelm dresses and I added a removeable sash to each. They have worn them again too, because they picked out their own styles that complimented their own bodies.</div>

If they're all wearing black dresses, they'll look coordinated. Don't stress too much.

Just tell them to find a black dress, knee length (or whatever length) and make sure that they feel comfortable in it. Simple!

I agree with PP's that they could just find their own black cocktail length dresses (or perhaps already own one).

But if you really do want them matching, my BM's are wearing black cocktail length dresses from David's Bridal that cost $99. Many of their dresses can be bought for under $100. Their new spring collection just came out and there were some really cute styles that I saw.

Dresses in the same length and color but different necklines look very coordinated. I encourage you to look at MBC and Stina's bios--their BMs are lovely and if you didn't know that they were in different dresses, I doubt you'd notice.

I told my girls to wear any black dress they chose, and didn't give them any direction whatsoever on accessories, but I still think they looked quite coordinated.
