***Flash me*** bridesmaid dress inspiration please!

ExcitedEssexBrideToBe, 25 June, 2013 at 14:04 Posted on Planning 0 19

Hi all,

I just wanted to start a post on bridesmaid dresses...luckily all 3 of my adult bridesmaids like the same style so hopefully we will be able to find a nice dress for our Summer wedding with a vintage feel. We have had a look in the shops and have found a lovely Dessy dress but it is quite a bit of money!

How much do you think is reasonable to spend on a bridesmaid dress - does anyone have any pic's to share of their's (it would be great to also see some that had a vintage feel to them!).

    I don't really know what vintage feel means... but this is what my two adult BMs are wearing, got it in Phase Eight should have been £99 but was reduced to £79.

    As Kjay said, what do you mean by vintage? Here's mine, from Dessy and cost £205 each...

    I originally wanted these (and the BMs agreed to wear them), but they didn't have my sisters size and it was the end of the line!! ☹️


    So we went for these instead, and are jazzing them up with some funky accessories / shoes. £125 each from Coast.

    I have one female bridesmaid and two males. The female one has quite a vintage look and has asked for a Vivien of Holloway dress, this has worked out really well because there are loads of colour options and she will be happy in it and wear it again.

    Hi Becklarr - can I ask which shop you bought these dresses in? I was quoted £261 for the same dresses in purple in a London shop this weekend. Thankfully I haven't bought them just yet - I'm quite surprised at the price difference.

    I'm having my bridesmaids in these dresses:

    I can't recommend this person highly enough, she's sent me four fabric samples to help me pick the right colour and is making me kids versions too. So excited to have dotty bridesmaids!

    Hi EEBTB,

    I found this dress online on a Chinese dress website (recommended by a friend who had used them successfully), and I fell in love with them - £88 each. I needed 3 so was over the moon that I could get a floor-length dress for less than £100 a pop.

    Then disaster struck...the website disappeared! I was devastated, especially after having a good recommendation too. So I wiped away the tears and started researching from scratch. I was coming to the end of my tether when I checked eBay and found these exact dresses being sold by a Chinese seller...for £30 each! I immediately texted my BMs to doublecheck their sizes and ordered 3 there and then.

    They arrived promptly and fit perfectly! An eBay success story!

    I got them in a place called Angel Face down in Devon. She quoted us £261 but as we brought 3 she gave us a discount ?
