REALLY?
the 1st dress…feathers is ridiculous…the only way one would avoid looking like a Bjork clone would be if one were a 6 ft tall supermodel
the tuxedo dress looks darted and droll.
the nvay one with sheeer top and sleeves would be lovely if grandma were your bridesmaid.
the last one…pink one shoulder is lovely ,,,but again your bridesmaids all need to be giselle.
the others are acceptable but,really is this the best on offer.
who made this list?carrie bradshaw?
i think this gallery shows foresight and imagination, a bold move away from the perpetual j.crew lookalike maids where the ladies try to look pristine and classy for a few hours before they rip on the champagne, kick off the heels and ask which bachelors to get introduced to. these dresses would make for great wedding photos, offer a wide range to accessorize creatively and, at least, don’t make me want to yawn.
My friend is getting married in January and she chose a custom Sarah Seven bridesmaid dress for us. They can all be made to fit your individual body type and come in a thousand different colours. You can also customize the top and bottom of each dress so they all look a little different. I’m personally not crazy about any of the listed bridesmaid dress suggestions but then again it’s not us that decides it’s the bride. http://www.sarahsevenblog.com/
