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

Tulle Gown
Pretty petals are embroidered and sparkle with sequins. Your girls will shine as they go down the aisle! Now on sale.
Adrianna Papell
   

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
