Just curious - for those who have ever been in a bridal party, what is the most you spent on your bridal party attire? Did you ever rewear your bridal party attire beyond the wedding you were in?

Did you ever rewear your bridal party attire beyond the wedding you were in?

    I've been in 2 weddings and will be in another in August. The first dress was awful, but it was also 2014 so a totally different style than what is popular today. I paid around $120 for it, plus about $40 to hem it. Never wore it again.

    The second wedding we got to choose our dress as long as it was the right color. It's nice, but I probably won't wear it again. I got it on sale for $89 and paid around $40 to hem it.

    For this upcoming wedding, I got it from Azazie and we got to pick the dress. I love it! I've spent $140 so far and haven't gotten it altered yet. I'll probably wear it again.

    I've never been asked to spend more than $100, and actually one wedding I was in, the husband decided it was his treat! Smiley smile

    I've never worn the dresses again because they look too bridesmaid, but was planning on donating them. http://www.princessprojectsd.org/

    I’ve only been in one wedding, but the dress was $130 and then $140 in alterations. When picking out my bridesmaids dresses, I looked for dresses $150 and under!

    Never spent more than $150 myself...


    For my attendants, I chose a color and am letting them choose a style, which also lets them gauge the price 😉

    I've paid $225 for the most expensive bridesmaid dress I ever had to pay for. I think I've worn two bridesmaid dresses after the wedding, for a formal, and once for another wedding (as a guest).

    I’ve only ever been my sister’s maid of honor, and I’m the first of my friends to be getting married. For my sisters wedding I think the most I spent was $200.
    Which I think was reasonable.
