I have seen some really cute pictures of the bride and her bridesmaids decked out in matching sweatsuits on the day of (sweatpants and a zip-up hoodie usually with either rhinestone or screenprinting on them). I would love to do this for my wedding but cannot spend a lot of money.

Any recommendations as to websites I could use that woudl be really reasonable?

Thanks!

    I bought hoodies from the Aeropostale website ($15 each) and wrote the names myself with some fabric-safe paint.
    HTH!

    I'm making my own as well.  I don't have an official wedding party so I'm just doing mine and my daughter's (the flower girl), but I'm buying mine and doing the iron on rhinestone transfers.

    I would skip it because they're useless after the wedding day.  Save your money.

    And also, aren't sweatsuits kindof a thing of the past?

    Just because you saw it on Four Weddings, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

    I made hoodies for me, my sister and my mom.  The sweatshirts were from Hanes, the crystals were from HotFix and I designed them.  I can add the how-to to this post, I just need to find the link!

    We all still wear them.  My mom and sister leave the house in them but I try not to in mine.  It seems really weird to be running around in a bride sweatshirt in public!

    They looked like this:

    I'm doing yoga pants and a hoodie from VS.  I'm spending a ton of money on a dress for my wedding that I'll never be able to wear again so spending a little on yoga pants and a hoodie that I'll actually be spending more time in that day and that I will wear around the house in the future doesn't seem like a waste to me.

    I think for the bride it's fine and cute.  But what are people going to do with a sweat suit that says bridesmaid on the back. I think they would much rather something they could use again.

    I am pretty sure my girls will wear them again. I was thinking of not putting anything indicating "bridesmaid" on them. I would probably leave the bottoms plain and then put a rhinestone monogram or similar item on the sweatshirts.

    I mainly wanted something cute and matching for us all to wear the day of while we are geting ready. I think the zip up hoodies will be good so we don't mess up our hair.

    I understand everyone's opinions as to whether the girls will wear them again or whether it is worth the money, but that is more a decision for each bride to make individually. I wasn't asking if anyone thought it was a good idea, but rather whether anyone could recommend a good place to buy them or the supplies to make them.

    You didn't ask for anyones opinion, you just asked if anyone knew where to get them so don't worry about if they think it's a good idea or not cause it's your wedding and they aren't in it! 


    P.S. I'm looking to geet them for my bridal party as well and think they are awesome:)
