Fast Bridesmaid dresses

Hello all!

We are planning a very fast wedding - we just set the date in early March to help allow my grandfather to attend.  He has recently fallen quite ill.

Since it is only 3 months away, I can't order bridesmaid dresses from a traditional designer and I'm having trouble finding ones that I can easily order.  I've looked at J Crew and Ann Taylor, neither of which have what I'm looking for.  

What other vendors are available that would ship in 2 weeks or less?

Thanks!

Janell

    Maybe go to a store like Kohls or Boston Store or Macy's etc. That way you can find a dress you like and they can find it in a size that fits them right then and there. 2 weeks is pretty quick for any place to get, process, and ship and for you to get the order.

    Department stores are pretty quick - I think Macy's usually has lovely dresses. Dress Barn might be another option. I ordered a BM dress from David's Bridal and only waited 2 weeks.

    Good luck and i am very sorry to hear about your grandfather.

    Pick out a color/fabric/style and have each girl find their own dress.

    Let them pick their own! I told my BMs navy and knee length and they both looked fabulous. If not, I love ModCloth.com.

    I second the department store idea.

    Either let them pick their own (just say blue, knee length) or go through a big box retailer. Target has cheap BM dresses that ship quickly:

    Since you need them so fast, be prepared to be less particular about what you are looking for- be prepared to buy off the rack.

    I would tell your bridesmaids a colour and length of dress and let them pick their own. 

    David's Bridal usually ships dresses within 4-6 weeks (in my experience, even when they said the dress would take 12 weeks), so if you ordered them NOW you would get them in time.

    My girls ordered their dresses from David's Bridal the day before Thanksgiving and they were here a week later.  I don't even know how that was possible with the holiday but they are here.

    The dresses for my BM's came in a week also, my mother also found her MOB dress there and it was in after a week.  Good luck!

    That's great, but I wouldn't be banking on this. I ordering mine over Thanksgiving for a wedding last year and it didn't coming in until after New Years.

    David's Bridal is both cheap and VERY fast when you order online.  Plus if your BMs are spread out they should all be able to get to a store near them to try things on, which is helpful.

    DB is not cheap. $100+ for a dress I can almost guarantee no one will wear again isn't a deal.
