Can we please take a moment to discuss the AUDACITY that is bridal attire – and wedding costs in general?!
As a newlywed one of the things I struggled with the most was keeping costs down for my bridal party because I’ve been on the other end and omgnowimpoor. I especially took issue with bridesmaid dresses that were costing 200+, looked like a bridal party dress (aka I could NOT wear it again), and they never even fit properly, which means more money down the drain paying for much needed alterations.
So for my own wedding I vowed (lol) to keep the costs down and stick to dresses that the girls could wear again. Admittedly, this was easy for me because I went with black for the bridal party, but I wanted to make it easy for the traditional bridesmaid picks too (think blush, lavender, tulle, etc). Below are my favorite picks for bridesmaid dresses UNDER $100, all free returns, and each style has a variety of colors & sizes! Yay for saving money on the dress so you can spend more on alcohol at the bach!
