Bridesmaid dresses decision

I think it’s a lot of skin showing but if you and your bridal party are ok with showing that much go for it. It’s a cute dress I just don’t think I would wear it at a wedding and especially not at that venue.

I think it depends on if your bridesmaids are comfortable with the level of skin. I think for a rustic venue it’s a bit more glam, but it’s your day! If you love it and your bridesmaids are okay with then go with it.

View Quoted Comment I agree with it but I’m also trying to like recycle the dress so that they’d want to wear it again. I’ve been trying to figure out how I’d want the day to go and truthfully, I’m not sure. Like I really like the dress but as a bridesmaid dress… for that venue… maybe not. I’m just not sure 😔 thank you for your input tho!!

Your dress is really pretty! I don't think that the bridesmaids dress is too revealing at all, I actually really like it. I do agree that it doesn't give me rustic vibes though

I'd ask your bridesmaids what they think - it's a cute dress, but I personally wouldn't feel comfortable in it.

Hi Monica 😁 Something else you should keep in mind is the body type of your bridesmaids. I am busty so I can tell you on me that dress would be highly indecent and I would feel VERY uncomfortable wearing it in public. On others though it could be super cute!

I think it's a super pretty dress and don't think there's anything wrong with it. I'm busty so I'd probably have a seamstress try to make it slightly less revealing, but they look nice. I do think that there's no way to actually assume your girls will ever wear these dresses again though. That's just kind of a thing you accept when you're a bridesmaid. Instead just go with a dress everyone likes and feels most comfortable in and that goes with your venue and vibe.

View Quoted Comment My sister isn’t afraid to show skin but I think it really is too revealing as a bridesmaid dress because as I was looking at other bridesmaids dresses, they’re more modest. But now that you mentioned the venue, that really makes sense to me!! Thank you!

It’s cute, but personally that would be too revealing. The other thing is that even if your girls like the dress, they may be constantly aware that it could slip and thus tugging at it all night. I’ve been a bridesmaid with a dress that was a little too low, and you can see the strain in my face and awkward stance in lots of the pictures bc I was trying to keep it positioned correctly!

I do have to agree that it is quite revealing, as I do really like the dress choice as it will go great with your venue and your dress. Maybe some material can be added to create an illusion neckline so it doesn't seem/feel so revealing.

I think it's really pretty, though agree with others that it doesn't have a "rustic" feel. This is something that I would definitely check with your bridesmaids on. It's one thing to pick something they don't like, it's a whole other thing to pick a dress that makes them uncomfortable. I know for a fact that one of my bridesmaids would be incredibly uncomfortable in something like that, while my MOH would be totally game. Have the conversation, and if they love it - go with it! If not, find something a little more subtle.

That dress would be too revealing for me personally (Cleavage, arms/shoulders, and legs are showing; I prefer to just highlight one or two features at a time. Also there's no way to wear a proper bra with this dress.). But it doesn't matter at all what I or any other stranger thinks; it matters what your bridesmaids think. They will be the ones paying for and wearing it. Please ask them individually (so that they feel OK to speak up) and listen to their opinions.

I also agree with everyone who said that this dress isn't rustic, but there's nothing rustic about your dress either, so maybe your definition of theme is different from mine.

View Quoted Comment No I agree because I realized that my dress isn’t so rustic either. I just couldn’t help but gal in love with it when I tried it on. I’m starting to think that maybe I should rethink my whole thing with the wedding because of my dress ☹️


But the bridesmaids dresses I just felt that there was so much skin showing that it would make other people (the guests) feel really uncomfortable about it. So I’ve decided to find a more bridesmaid like dresses for it

I don't think your dress or the bridesmaids dress clashes with the venue at all. You can totally pull off a rustic glam theme if you decoratethe venue correctly. Think high-gloss wood varnish with silver or gold metallic accents and long draped fabric down the tables. I wouldn't be concerned about it clashing unless you were previously planning to go the full "Mason jars and twine" rustic theme. Then some changes would be in order...



On the bridesmaids dress, it is not my favorite. Just in general I don't find it flattering (and that has nothing to do with your sister and 100% to do with the dress). The one thing I like is the lace which helps it match your dress and meld with the rustic tone of your venue IMHO. Maybe keep that in mind when you and/or your sister choose the next dress.

By the way, your dress is STUNNING!!! So so gorgeous on you. 😍

View Quoted Comment Hi Grace,


I know my dress clashes but I was thinking of doing a glam rustic theme because I was thinking of decorating the barn on the inside. Here is a picture of the barn venue dressed up.

@Grace, thank you! I fell in love with it the moment I put it on 😍❤️

View Quoted Comment It will be great! Perfect venue to fit your wedding vision. I was originally trying to say I DONT think it will clash and that it looked very glam rustic to me already. 😁

Have you checked out Azazie? They have lots of dresses, some more revealing than others and the bridesmaids can pick the dress style that suits them best. All you have to do is pick a color.

This is what I am doing as all three of my bridesmaids are very different shaped with very different styles.

View Quoted Comment Hi Melinda I just sent my bridesmaids a handful of pictures with bridesmaids dresses that I really liked. One of them told me she fell in love with the first one and the other bridesmaid just loved the ideas so I’m just gonna tell them to pick the one they love most and get a dress from Azazie. Thank you so much for your input tho!! ❤️❤️

It's a very nice dress which I personally don't find too revealing, but as others have said, I would talk with the other bridesmaids first. I know that in the end, it's the bride's call (as my own bridesmaids reminded me many, many times), but there may be some who say that's too much for them. If your sister really wants that particular one, maybe you can find something in the same color but a slightly different style. If, however, everyone likes that one, then go for it! Just try to find an opportunity for all of them to try that one on and see what they think. Good luck!
