Bridesmaid Dresses

The past weddings I’ve gone to bridesmaids were wearing short dresses, a style I had never cared for until I really saw it in person and with the overall affect of the wedding. Short bridesmaid dresses are fun and playful while still chic and sophisticated. They also seem more comfortable and flattering to wear. I love the dress colors of plum, burgundy, and gold for fall and winter weddings. JCrew has beautiful bridesmaid collections, but also look in major department stores such as Nordstrom and Bloomingdales, where they have various colors and sizes available. Photo from jcrew.com

Cute Bride and Bridesmaids Shirts

Wedding Chicks Couture and The Knot Wedding Shop both sell Bride and Bridesmaids shirts. I think these are cute, chic and fun for the bride and her bridesmaids to wear to the bachelorette party, wedding rehearsal and even for wedding day preparations. What a fun way to get extra attention, and why not…it is your special day, so let everyone know!!

Summer Bridesmaids Gifts

I believe that all Bridesmaid gifts should be personal. Something really special, a gift that connects each bridesmaid to the bride or that connects the bride to her bridesmaids.
Here are a few personalize Summer Bridesmaid Gifts that we loved:

Personalized make-up bags - With these great homemade make up bags, the bride can select the fabric for each bridesmaid and have it personalized with her name.




Sterling leaf bracelets- For a wilderness wedding, these little bracelets would be the perfect gift. You can choose a different silver leaf for each bridesmaid and pick their favorite color gem or colored fresh water pearl.


Starfish Necklace- For a beach summer wedding, this is the perfect bridesmaid gift, pick a different shell or starfish for each bridesmaid as well as a different colored gem for each.




Jewelry Boxes- This is one of my favorites because the artsy bride can make this gift herself and for those of you who are not, you can just buy one of these and have someone personalize it for you! You can personalize with pictures of the two of you on the inside and on the outside you can paint it her favorite color and write her name, favorite saying, quote, or just a note to let her know you care about her! Everyday when she gets out her jewelry she will think about you!

Hope these help... if you want more ideas let me know or research yourself at www.etsy.com
