Bridesmaid Dresses

[IheartAphi]

I recently got engaged and have been trying to plan things out for a summer wedding (2005) I have decided that I would like my bridesmaids to wear tea length dresses that are super cute, maybe white linen or toile. After searching all the wedding websites and Nordstorms, I was just wondering if anyone knew any super awesome boutiques or designers that carry dresses like this. Thanks~!

edited to add: there's this place in denton that has a website with cute dresses... you can also order online: www.bridalco.com

I found mine at David's Bridal, but they were not tea length. I dunno where else to look, but I would try a site that a friend of mine informed me about called bridesave.com. I guess it's got desiner dresses for less...and they may have bridesmaid dresses.

My sister just got married and we got our dresses from Demetrios. Excellent service and everyone looked great!

They have really really cute dresses - but not cheap.

I'm probably going with a very very simple dress from David's (my BMs are all spread out and are in professional graduate programs) and then hem it to tea length. I just can't decide if its formal enough for my otherwise very very formal daytime wedding.

I just went shopping with one of my little's who's getting married in March 2005. I was the first bridesmaid to go to David's with her, so I pretty much got to pick the dress

One thing I will say.... everything at David's was long. If you want tea-length, you may very well have to get them altered.

What do people think about the plaid that seems to be coming in? I'm not sure how I feel about patterns, especially plaid, on bridesmaid's dresses.

There also seemed to be A LOT of black. Call me traditional, but i'm a pretty firm believer that black is for funerals, not weddings.

I am the same way- I am too traditional according to my best friend... she keeps saying when I get married I HAVE to go to some place like David's so that the bridesmaids can pick out what looks best on THEM-
and I keep thinking, I don't HAVE to do anything! I like the traditional- all the bridesmaids in the same dress, same COLOR (Not black, or plaid or even white, or any form of white!).
But I guess I am crazy!

if i was going to splurge, i would do Jenny Yoo

if i was being sensible, i would either use Mon Cheri Montague or
Jim Hjelms

I've seen a couple of dresses this season in plaid, I still don't know what to think about it yet.

I really would like a linen dress. My friends in Atlanta told me about this store called Paper White, but I can't find it online anywhere.

Those splurge dresses are unbelieveable awesome. The ones I like the most are the ones that people can wear again. I bought one for $150 this year that was horrible (as in I would not wear it to a formal) I just want a plain, southern sorority girl wedding.

Speaking of bridesmaids dresses...one of my dearest friends asked me to be a bridesmaid last night! I am so excited. We're going shopping for the dresses this Sat.
