BM Inspiration
March 17th, 2010 by Allison Silber
I came across this Rachel Gilbert collection recently and fell in love with it! The top pic is my all time favorite and would be my Bridesmaid dress of choice if not for the price tag. I love her use of sequins, color, and the silhouette she accentuates with her dresses. Just too cute.
Now as for the price tag, it is a bit higher than I would care to spend ($700 higher!) but I guess when your designs are seen on the likes of celebrities, you have the right to charge that much. So on I go in my search for the perfect BM dress. I will say however that this is gorgeous inspiration and something I completely plan on thinking with in my future searches!
Do you have any celebrity designers you are using for inspiration for your wedding wardrobe!

I had similar problems finding BM dress. I wanted everyone to have similar looks but not the exact same for my August wedding. I ended up finding dresses that all my BM’s think are re-wearable, affordable (about $300 each), and give everyone their own look. We are all very excited. good luck in the search.

I love that top dress too.
Would you keep it that close to white though or choose a colour?

oh, okay i gotcha. i was just curious. i had a hard time picking out bm dresses too because my ladies all graduated in the last year or two, and i was afraid to pick something too expensive.

Is it tradition in the US to get your bridesmaids to pay for their dresses? I am going to buy them myself…
