Notes from our Stylists: Wear-Again-Worthy Bridesmaid Dresses!

The 2008 movie 27 Dresses, starring James Marsden and Katherine Heigl, was a hilarious comedy about the trials of being a serial bridesmaid. Although the movie was clearly exaggerated, most women do worry about being obliged to wear gaudy, trendy bridesmaid dresses. Thankfully twenty-first century brides can toss away their worries, and their closet stuffed full of outdated dresses. Never before have bridesmaids dresses been so beautiful, wearable, and timeless. Given the current trend of neutrals like pale pink, cream, camel, and elegant grey tones, one can easily transition from bridesmaids dress to party dress.

Here are a few dresses we find wearable and classic:


Style 7594 in Crinkle Chiffon	Style 187 in Crinkle Chiffon	Style LR107 in Silk Taffeta	Style D518 in Dupioni	Style 177 in Taffeta
This sweetheart necked, above the knee crinkle chiffon dress will look sophisticated at a wedding with neutral shoes, a gold necklace, and a chic chignon. Transition to a night out with a bold green statement necklace, pink pumps, and long, loose waves.	This buff colored crinkle chiffon dress will be sweet and ethereal for a garden wedding, with a pink bouquet and rose quartz jewelry. Then pack it for a romantic weekend away, pairing it with gold flats, a cute white cardigan and a floral headband.	This pale blue dress will look perfect at a Cape Cod Wedding with a pink clutch and pearls. Wear it with simple white sandals, a Lilly Pulitzer scarf, and a ponytail for a champagne brunch, or a stroll around town on a summer’s day.	The champagne colored luxurious dupioni dress reminds us of Jackie O for its classic good taste. Match it with black patent peep-toe pumps and a dramatic cat eye for a formal city wedding. Break it out for a New Years Eve cocktail party by adding a sexy waist-cinching belt, red stilettos and playful finger waves.	This gown is elegant and understated, ideal for an evening wedding. Wear it to the opera, or to another wedding as a guest, by pairing it with a colorful jewel drop necklace and a loose, low-set bun, adding a pashmina if it gets chilly. If you’re feeling really brave, have it shortened to a super mini cocktail dress after your friend’s big day.
