Different Styles for Bridesmaids Dresses

jlvastyan

I'm trying to pick out bridesmaids dresses in different styles, but am hoping to keep the dresses relatively inexpensive (200 or less).  I have seven bridesmaids and am hoping for at least 4 (ideally 7) different styles of dresses in the same colors.  I already checked David's Bridal and I don't think they have more than 3 in the same material in the same general length.  Does anyone know of any dress designers that might work???

J.Crew!

I also suggest alfred angelo.  That's what we are using and it has a pretty wide selection.

Check out ariadress.com   They have a lot of different styles and if you get the dresses made in satin or a cotton material, they're all relatively $160.  Most of the dress I saw come in 4 different silhouettes, so you can have the same "style" but they would still be different.  Hope this helps!

My bridesmaid dresses are from Alexia, they have a lot of dresses with similar fabrics and cute different styles.   I also loved a lot of Alfred Angelo dresses!

I am using Dessy and I don't think their prices are under $200 but I think it varies depending on fabric.  Aria is a great designer to use and their prices are pretty reasonable.  I would also look at the Watters and Wtoo line.

Whatever you do, do not choose edressme.com. The site was recommended on TheKnot magazine and it is a complete disaster. The designer dresses I ordered from there in July for my October weddding have no arrived, no one returns phone calls and they hang up on you as soon as they can.

Yes!  I just picked out my bridesmaids gowns and decided to go with Alfred Angelo dresses as well.  There's a huge selection available, many different color options and they're reasonably priced!  Since my girls are all wearing different colors in addition to different styles and I wanted to ensure there was some form of uniformity amongst the dresses, I abided by the following guidelines when selecting style options for them to choose from:

- All dresses should be floor length

- All dresses should be of full satin material

- All dresses should be all one color (i.e. no contrasting sashes of different color, etc.)

- All of the dresses have relatively the same shape and are void of front seams

I found 5 dresses within these guidelines that I liked and the most expensive dress was $180.

I am ordering my dresses from Mestads in Rochester, MN and they have a "cash and carry" option, which basically means that you will have an independent seamstress do your alterations.  However, by taking advantage of that option, your bridesmaids will score an additional 20%!   Good luck!
