So this year, 3 of my bridesmaid and myself were part of the House Party for our friend's wedding. We all wore the same dress for the wedding but because we were not in the main wedding party, we weren't in too many pictures. I am now planning my wedding for next year and was thinking that we could reuse the same dresses so that my friends didn't have to spend another $200+ on a new dress. My dress can be worn by another bridesmaid and then we would just have to get one other girl the same dress. I would obviously check with the bride from the previous wedding as well as my maids to see how they feel about this. My question is, is this tacky or a great way to reuse a dress and save my friends some moola?
Re: Reused bridesmaid dresses…tacky or not?
Recycled dresses aren't tacky.
It was tacky of your friend to have second string wedding party and require them to buy matching dresses.
Those dresses belong to you and the other members of the house party. You don't need the other bride's permission to wear them again.
Just curious. What was the very good reason?
Don't ask the other bride for permission to wear clothing that everyone already owns in a separate wedding. You will be borrowing trouble. Your friend had her wedding already, she gets no say I'm yours.
I'd also like to know what the "very good reason" was that this chic "had" to have a House Party.

She may very well be a great person. I have good friends who are wonderful people but still did stupid stuff while planning their weddings.
