PIP your bm dresses

MeaghanandMichael

I am in like 8347389 weddings in the next year and I am just curious what is out there now. Stock pics or actual pics are awesome. I love looking at them on real girls though.

I will be a BM for the first time next year. All I know is the colors are like a chocolate brown and cream color.

Manda's was vintage from the 50s, and Chloe's was new, but she was 8 so...

You ladies have great taste, obvs.

Celles

Ours is Alfred Angelo style 7056.

Stock photo:



It has optional spaghetti straps, and I'm 98% certain that all three girls will be wearing them.

We're adding a sash in this style, but the same teal color as the dress:



The dress doesn't have a defined waist, so the sash can be tied beneath the bust to create an empire waist, or at the natural waist (as shown on the model).  I think the sash really makes the dress.

I was determined to let my bridesmaid's choose their own styles, but in the end I went slightly 'zilla and asked (nicely!) that they wear this one.

Thanks kd!

We got these from Macy's in their formal dress department:

I don't have a lot of good pics of my BM's (photog mishap), boo. They were all different dresses, but the same color from DB. My fave being my MOH (on the left):

Thank you, Dodges! Let me know if I can help you at all. That damn day was 95% DIY. My first piece of advice is don't do 95% DIY.

MISSCOURTNEY20

These are by Mori Lee. They also came with a sash but my girls didn't want to bother with it.

Confession: I wish I was Bec's bm I want to bouquet too dammit!

<div>I originally wanted a bright green, but after actually looking at bright green dresses I just couldn't do it to them. I wanted something they would want to wear again.</div>

This dress is fantastic.  It looks way better on people than on the model, but it fits every shape beautifully.  And it's cheap.

This is the ceremony page from the wedding.  It's got all of the girls in the dress.

I had told my BMs to pick out their own dress, as long as it was in the color I'd picked out. They all ended up going with the same one.

ETA: These are actually a light green color (see below)... the photographer's editing turned them more of a blueish color in some of the photos.

I didn't have bridesmaids, but this is a dress I wore in my friend's wedding last year. Sorry about the excessive cleavage and yes, there's a cell phone in my breast cave.
