All about our bridesmaids dresses!

We're in the full swing of bridesmaids season, which we couldn't be more excited about!  Our bridesmaids department is often described as "lively" (translation: a lot of fun).  Groups of best friends looking for their dresses for the big day, finding that perfect dress that fits your vision, and of course - your girls.

We're seeing more and more mix-and-match bridesmaids parties lately, which is such a great idea.  Less stress for the bride, and often times less pressure for the girls to wear a bridesmaid dress that they may not really want to wear, or most times feel comfortable in. We have so many bridesmaids styles that mix and match, that letting your bridesmaids choose their own style can be easier than you think!  I'm going to give you a little advice on bridesmaids shopping, and I hope that it helps!

At your appointment start by figuring out which bridesmaids company produces the color, or color palette that you're most interested in.  It's common for girls to come into our store and head straight for the rack that holds the blue dresses, or pink dresses, or whatever your wedding color may be.  But what people don't often know, is that each of our bridesmaids dresses has the option of being ordered in over 60 colors for each dress.  Narrowing down the color first is super important, that way you don't say "yes to the bridesmaids dress" and realize the color blue they offer isn't the blue that you want.  How annoying is that?!

Once you figure out the company that offers the color you want, have the girls dive into the area of the store where this designers dresses are hanging.  This will ensure that they are only selecting gowns that are guaranteed to be made in the color that YOU want.

​Now it's up to the bride if she wants all of the bridesmaids in the same dress, or if she is open to each girl choosing their own style.  I often see bridesmaids parties come in with the idea of everyone choosing their own style, but at the end of the appointment everyone ends up loving the same dress!  We have enough styles that there truly is something for everyone, and at the end of the day how you want your bridesmaids to look is up to you.

 The low down on bridesmaids:

• Bridesmaids dresses are in stock from sizes 2 - 32 
• We have over 300 bridesmaids styles to select from
• We usually have (1) of each dress in stock, and they are samples. The idea is that you try on the dress, and order your size and order your color once you decide on the dress
• Often times we order extra sizes our best sellers, so you will see duplicate bridesmaids dresses to try in sizes 16 - 32, we have a LOT of plus size bridesmaids dresses 
• Prices start at $124.00  (Yup)
• We require a 60% deposit to order each bridesmaids dress
• Bridesmaids dresses take on average 4 months to come in. Brides magazine & The Knot recommend ordering your bridesmaids 6 months before your wedding to allow time for fittings

Appointments are recommended, especially on Saturday's!!

Don't forget about our evening appointments on Monday, Wednesday & Thursday at 5:00 & 6:30PM.  Evening appointments are like having the bridesmaids department to yourselves (it's pretty awesome I highly recommend it).

We can't wait to meet you!
