My bridesmaids would love me. . . (Not that they don't all ready).
But for real, if I had a Garden Wedding, my girls would be wearing lovely yellow/green linen sundresses from Forever 21 for a whopping $24.80. Awesome, right? Sure beats the pants off of my $150 price tag (which isn't as easy as I thought it'd be).
But, alas, I am not having a garden wedding. We're shelling out $$s to be married in my home town church and for a traditional sit down dinner reception. Oh well, a girl can dream, right? Haha, just kidding, I love our venues :). . .but I also love that sundress. Maybe I'll buy it for myself!

Cute!

So depending on the amount of 'whimsy' in your wedding or playfulness, or theme; I think this dress from Sunday Brunch Dress could work as a bridesmaids dress or even the wedding dress. Either way, I'm drooling over it and I want someone to get it. It's gorgeous. I love it. Actually, someone should get it for me. Any takers :) ? At $570, the price is a little steep for BM dresses, but hey you never know!

Cute, cute, and cute!
Soooooo I love this 5 way wrap dress from Urban Minx. At first look, it doesn't seem quite fancy enough, but I would totally get this for my bridesmaids if it was the right color. It's on sale for a wonderful $138.50. which is quite the savings from the original $198.00.
I thought the photo on the site was used was cute, but when I clicked on 'more photos' I found the dress a way I liked even more. You can see all 5 ways to wrap the dress in the photos. As the web site says "make is look dressy, casual, or in between." That's what's great, your girls could wrap it to make it a little more classy, and then definitely re-wear it later! You could get so many looks out of it!
And, as everyone says, you should get your girls something they could wear again!

Love at first sight . . .
I have totally fallen for the bridesmaids dress over at Coren Moore. From the looks of the site, it seems like they're a pretty popular brand, but I haven't heard of them before. It seems like most of their dress are out of our budget ($150), but a girl can dream, right? Most of the dresses cost $220-$320, but what is nice is that you have your choice of what fabric you choose to order the dress in. Shantung, cotton sateen, and seersucker seem to be most of the options they offer. They also off group discounts. I wonder how much I could save if I really wanted some of their dresses for my girls? Hmmm, I'm not sure. I should check it out.
Another plus to Coren Moore is that the website is easy to navigate and nicely designer. It's always a turn off for me if I can't quite figure out the website. It makes me quickly navigate elsewhere.
So, without further ado, here are a few of the cutest / freshest bridesmaids dresses so far! (image source for all images)
Here is the Rose. The small photo doesn't do it justice. Head over to the website to size the full length photo in all it's glory. I'm actually quite smitten with it, but $290 is way over our $150 price tag. But it's the perfect length - Just above the knee is just right! Oh and those little ruffles around the neckline! Mmm - gorgeous! And I still have an obsession of putting a sash/bow on everyone, which doesn't work on all dresses, but it could work here! The nice flat panel around the waist could be perfect for a nice little sash.Maybe they have sales? I'm not sure, I'll have to keep an eye on it. But regardless, this is love.
Oh Tara, how I love your neckline. You're so cute and sweet and definitely ready for the party. Tara is ready for all occasions actually! She can be bought as a full length dress under the evening section ($315), or as a shorter dress under the cocktail section ($285). Swoon! I love options!
Oh Lily, what's that you say? I was trying to add a sash to Rose, when you were all ready perfect for it? You guys have the same adorable neckline, but Lily's shape it just fantastic. So cute, so lovely!
