Wedding Wednesday: Getting Ready With Style

{ Via: Pinterest }

Being married many moons ago, this "getting ready glam squad" thing did not exist. It was me alone in the bathroom doing the best makeup tricks I knew from teenage modeling days.  Even though there was a house full of relatives, I felt a bit alone. So I phoned a friend, Patti, and asked her to please join me. She and the "adult beverage" that accompanied her, made all of the difference in the world. Today's bridal parties know how to have fun.  This post features fab finds for you and your gal pals on the big day!

HERE: 12 Ways To Add The Fun To Getting Dressed

Bridesmaids Toasting Flutes 

Lavender champagne? Yes please! Every detail matters when it comes to your big day. These glasses allow you to customize them in the color and the name that you wish. Everyone loves a creative cocktail.

Plum Pretty Sugar

Personalized Gift Boxes

The perfect way to present your bridesmaids their gifts. 

Mod Party

Bridesmaid Robes

Call out her name. Choose your personalization and color palette. It's such a pretty and

 classic design.

Bridesmaids Bags

And a matching tote is always a nice addition to a great gift. It's cotton canvas, pretty, and oh so practical. Not to mention it is a nice way to present a gift.

Personalized Hangers

No wire hangers! Deck out the dressing room with these simple but elegant hangers. They will make the gowns and robes look even better in the pre-wedding photos

 and videos.

Lace Robes

If you are embracing lace on your big day, here are the prettiest robes ever.  They are very special and a step above the rest.

Love and Peonies

Lily Dresses

A pretty alternative to a robe or pjs. The Lily dress ties at the shoulder and slips off for getting ready. No messing up the "do." They come in a variety of colors and pretty patterns.

Crystal Personalized Balloons

You might be wondering what balloons have to do with getting ready. For one, they seem to create instant happiness. And they make the best photo props. These are actually a decal that you put on a crystal clear balloon. Genius, don't you think? Add a fresh flower, a little greenery, and you have another added dose 

of pretty to the day.

Mod Party

Monogrammed Boxer Short

If your bride tribe is more the shorts and tee shirt types, these monogrammed shorts are adorable. They also give a little modesty under a robe. Your maids will wear them as sleep shorts long past the wedding.

Personalized Glassware

Because a girl needs options. Another type of glam glass for everything from a chic cocktail to champagne.

Pretty as a picture, right? And I think that is the point of pretty pieces for your bridesmaids. This Etsy shop is a stylish source for satin floral robes in over a dozen colorways. Save money and buy them in sets.

Wedding Wednesday: It's All About Your Bride Tribe

Wedding Wednesday: Bridesmaid Style Under $150

{ Via: Etsy }

Now this was a challenge, but your bride tribe is worth the effort. Accepting the role of bridesmaid is both an honor and a big expense. It's tricky finding a look that matches your own wedding vision, looks good on all of the girls, and is also affordable. Bonus points if it is a dress that they might actually wear again. All of these elements are equally important. Truthfully, the sweet spot for stand out style seems to be in the $250 - $300 price range. There's plenty to choose from there. Taking it down to under $150 is a bit harder. My motto, however, is "good style can be found at every price." Hopefully this edit is proof positive.

   

HERE: 10 Styles For The Aisle

As Ruffles Ripple Maxi

This gown was made for dancing. In fact, the layers of ruffles simply dance down the gown. Available in navy and sage green, also.

ModCloth

Drew Gown

Cut from a divinely unique and stunning floral applique fabric.  Love it for a garden or beach wedding. Bring more color in with shoes and flowers. Less than $100

Plum Pretty Sugar

Chi Chi London Aura

Embrace lace on your special day. Done in the prettiest plum purple. This fit and flare style comes in sizes 2 - 26, and should be flattering for all. The below the knee length is quite chic.

ModCloth

Maya Embellished Tulle Maxi

Loving almost everything about this dress, except that little back bow. That can just be tied in a nice looking knot instead. Let's talk about that shade of green - it is so unexpected. The sheer back is dreamy, the sleeves cover any problem areas, and the empire waist is also flattering. Best yet, it available for petite, plus sized, average, and maternity.

ASOS

Lulus Perfect Opportunity Gown

Your tribe will want to wear this dress over and over. It's less than $100.

Nordstrom

Diana Dress

Isn't this the most appealing shade of grey? It's soft and sophisticated. Simple styling always wins. Loving the idea of metallic shoes with 

this dress.

Anthropologie

Pleated Maxi Bridesmaid Dress 

Designed by British brand, TFNC, this may just be my favorite of the edit. First of all the color is nude. How wonderful! The details on this gown (on the right) are amazing for the price. A halter style neckline with a sheer mesh covering, embroidered pin dot detail, low cut back and pleated skirt, all add up to a fanciful frock.

ASOS

Marco Dress

Classical with a sexy twist. And isn't the color the prettiest navy? It's called Caspian Sea. But if blue isn't your desire, this style comes in 6 other chic colors.

BHLDN

Maya Embellished Bardot Midaxi 

Standout sequins for a little bridesmaid bling! The ice blue is beautiful on most. Click for a closeup of this lovely layered look.
