Where did you get your bridesmaid dresses from?

I got mine from BHS online, they have 3 or 4 common styles, all available in quite a few colours. They have cadbury purplr for sure. Mine were £90 each, good quality, easy to order, try on and return what isnt needed. Take account of the reviews on their site, the one we wanted people kept saying it came up small so buy a size bigger, which we did and it fit perfectly.

Hi,

I've only got one adult bridesmaid & as we wanted something summery & cool as getting married abroad, we went off to one of the big shopping centres. She tried loads on but we finally went for a lovely Phase Eight dress & a fasinator that went with it.

I suppose it depends on your budget, mine are Dessy, but like others have said you can get some very good ones on the High Street. Or failing that if you know a good seamstress you could have some made.

Debenhams for me! x

I was looking at about £100-£150 per BM.

I love the Dessy ones but I keep hearing they are really expensive!

My BM dresses are coming from Vivien of Holloway, in London. I love the style. If my BM hadn't also liked them we were going to check out Debenhams.

Debenhams for both bridesmaids and flowergrirls. £100each for BM £85 for FG

I bought mine from coast for my three bridesmaids who are 16,20 and 26.

I am doing Dessy buy buying from House of Brides, a US site, even if I get maximum import charge then they are still much cheaper than the UK. We have just tried on a few in shops to work out the sizing. I would have got them from a chinese one but none of them have the dresses we want yet.

John lewis for me. some of the bridesmaid dresses in bridal shops were more expensive than my wedding dress!!

Let me know how that works for you! I did have a look at that option but I don't know of anyone else who has done it!

If you are on a low budget like me I'm getting my bridesmaids dresses from this website - www.dressingpod.com they have a wide range of styled dresses and in loads of colours. it is an american website though so you'll have to work it out in english pounds.

hope this helps

I got my girls maxi dresses from a shop called Quiz, they have a website aswell, they do alot of weddingy/prom style dresses and they only cost me 60 pound each and the girls love them ? xx xx

We got ours from Jane Norman for 30 pound each, long purple dresses! - Bargain!

I got mine from Berketex bride on their 3 for 2 offer (well 3 adults and one child still have the Maid of Honour to sort).

Mine are from Dessy. I looked at the BHS ones which I really liked but they just weren't in quite the right colour. They were good quality dresses I thought when the girls tried them on. M&S also sell BM dresses online which were good value and looked lovely but the sizing wasn't quite right so they got sent back. Worth a look.

I opted for high street as just assumed I wouldn't have been able to have afforded bridal shop prices. I was looking for long dresses that were no more than £150 each.

We ended up buying the first dress my BMs tried on (they tried on more but went back and bought the first one!) from Debenhams. They were £125 each but then the lovely woman in the shop told me if I waited they were likely to have a discount day and I ended up getting them for £87.5...if I'd held out a couple of more weeks I could have got another 10% off that again!

I got my bridesmaid dresses from ebay. They are BHS dresses and they were brand new with tags and half the price of BHS, bargain!

The colour matched by flowergirl dresses perfectly and the quality is really good.

H&M, £35 each- bargain

The ones in bridal shops were too "weddingy" for our tatse and hugely overpriced for a dress that would never be worn again.

Tell a lie- the Little BM dress was from Monsoon and was about £70 I think, she has however worn it lots of times so I don't mind as much.

I got our dresses from Coast.

From various stores, including Asos, ModCloth and Oasis!

Hi

I've just received my bridesmaid dresses from BHS and i love them!

Someone posted a 25% off code on here so i got two adult dresses for £120 - wasn't sure i was going to like them at first but now they're here i couldn't be more pleased.

I'm not actually getting married until November next year but thought why wait when i can get them with the discount x

Mine are all Phase Eight - in their sale too so half price

I got mine from a bridal shop and they were cheaper than some I'd seen in high street shops. Paid £100 per dress so I got them and all the girls love them! I did get a discount though as my dad and the husband of the woman who has the shop are friends.

Got mine in the last debenhams sale for £32.40 each, bargain.

When I was BM for my bestie last year, we all wore this from coast.

I got my 3 adult BM's dresses from a bridal shop Romantic of Devon Dresses £159 each + alterations. Glad I did in the end as now have 2 pregenant BM's and the shop have ordered extra material and I have now worries that they won't be able to sort it. Ok will cost extra but proberbly cheaper than having to buy 2 high street dress for each or leaving it ill the last minute. Main reason to start with was because they all have different complexions heights and sizes! Bridal shops gave me more choice on colours once we found the right dress.

Little BM's 2x5yrs and an 8 yrs all off ebay 2011 BHS dresses cost me about a £10 each all brand new. One is too big but looking at getting this altered. If not may start again as they were well under my orginal budget.

Although I think Purple is very in this year so you may be lucky on the hightstreet!

I got mines from the bridal shop where I got my dress. It was expensive at £197.50 a dress (they were Kelsey Rose) but I just wanted to be able to try on lots together, know they would fit and be altered correctly etc. It was gona be too much hassle looking all around the high street, getting them to agree, getting them together to go and try them, or chance it by ordering online. Basically, I paid loads more than I probably could have done because Im lazy lol x

I got mine from fairytaledresses.co.uk.

The ladies there were REALLY helpful - I couldn't have asked for better service. I got the Alexia dress 2614 in Claret with an ivory sash. Absolutely beautiful http://www.fairytaledresses.co.uk/alexia-designs-2614

I would definitely recommend them to anyone!

BHS for the 3 year old and 8 year old in ivory and for the adults I got Kurt Muller Dresses from a Boundary Mill outlet in purple

Swampy

Ordered mine on eBay custom made. From china with my three bridesmaids being 20,25,and 28 we all loved the style and paid 62£ per BM with shipping took 8 weeks to make/arrive but were just what I wanted! Don't be afraid of chinese dressmakers on e-bay they are a bargain and better than the high street I n my opinion with much greater choice. I actually got my wedding dress from www.myweddingdressforless.co.uk and they were also fantastic - and do BM dresses too.

I got mine from Monsoon for a BM aged 10 and my adult MOH. The pageboy outfit also came from there. Good luck with your search!

For those of you that bought the BHS ones, did you find they came up small or true to size? I have tried the Coast dressses but my size 14 bridesdmaids can get them done up but they are very tight, the size 16 swamps them and spins around so these are going back. Am going to order BHS ones and Debenhams and see if these are any better.
