Choosing and finding the perfect dresses for your bridesmaids, in addition to the wedding dress of your dreams, can feel like a daunting task! There are so many options out there; short, long, designer or custom, form fitting, flowing, gem studded and more!
My best advice is to keep it simple and add accessories.

You no longer have to spend thousands of dollars to have the perfect dresses for your big day. After choosing your favorite colors (and that’s the fun part!), pick dresses that won’t break your budget.
Classic strapless gowns and soft flowing fabrics can be instantly dressed up and personalized with the right accessories, so both you and your bridesmaids can easily look like a million bucks without having to spend it.
How to Dress Up Your Gown & Make It Your Own:
Florals: Flowers are all the rage in accessories right now. Adding flower pins to your dresses, handbag, headbands and more is the perfect way to focus on femininity and that little touch of something extra.
Handbags: Speaking of handbags, hanging on to that perfect clutch in an accent color adds a pop of personality to your dress.
Headbands: Adding a sassy accessory can make all the difference. After styling your hair perfectly into place add a headband. There’s no better way to add elegance to your dress while highlighting your ‘do.
Jewelry: Use a little bling to elevate and liven up those gowns. You can create a unique look by wearing some freshwater pearls or your favorite gold earrings. You can even don your grandmother’s favorite bracelet to show off your personal style.
Today’s brides and bridesmaids are blessed with so many options when it comes to accessories, so it's easy to find something to perfectly compliment your look.
