Dress sites

Hey there, Lynne!

Some great sites to check out are Azazie, Lulus, David's Bridal and ASOS!

Do you have a color in mind for the dresses?

I picked a color, fabric, and length from Azazie. I had 9 bridesmaids so I let them all pick their own dress & they liked the option and picking more flattering ones for their body types. The turn around was anywhere from 2-6 weeks depending on what time of year they ordered it and if they did the custom sizing option. Azazie lets you try on dresses for $10 a dress so a couple girls did that ahead of ordering too. The dress options were $89-$169 but I told them far enough in advance so they got to take advantage of 10% and 15% off sales throughout the year. We also ordered our groomsmen ties from Azazie.

We are renting ours from rent the runway. Most are under $100 and you never have to "wear it again". Only con is you can't alter them.

We did David's Bridal! Half ordered in store, half online! They all came in really quickly and were inexpensive compared to what I've paid before as a bridesmaid!

We used Dessy - I found they run a little more expensive than Azazie at face value but you can sign up for emails and get coupons. Between a 20% off coupon and a rebate we found the cost reasonable and the quality was great.
