Fab Find: Twobirds Bridesmaid

If you’re searching for bridesmaids dresses, you’ve probably figured out that it’s nearly impossible to find a single dress that looks great on a variety of women. Thankfully, Twobirds Bridesmaid has created just such a dress.

The innovative design, available in ten colors and two lengths, can be wrapped in ten different ways. This allows each of your BMs to find the style that works best for them, while maintaining the consistency of your vision.

You can either gather your gals and head to NYC to try on a sample or borrow one for 10 days for $50 shipping/handling. The dresses range in price from $270-$290.

A Very Comfy Take on BM Dresses

There are a lot of complaints about bridesmaids dresses, from the price to the style to the lack of comfort. Amazingly, Alfred Angelo’s new Jersey Knits line addresses all of those issues. The dresses are stylish, affordable, and as comfortable as your favorite t-shirt. Choose from six styles and nine colors, all for less than $150.

Pretty Dresses: Eden Bridesmaid 7211

I saw this gorgeous Eden Bridals bridesmaid dress in this month’s Brides magazine. The satin ruffle and ruched empire waist make this simple a-line style flattering, elegant, and modern. It’s shown in a very pretty “Rosy Brown” but available in dozens of colors. The price is about $180 retail or $140 online.

Aria Bridesmaids Cotton Eyelet Dress

I love this fitted cotton eyelet dress from Aria Bridesmaids. Very summery, not to mention comfortable, and definitely re-wearable. Price is $195 and is available in 6 colors, including a very pretty powder blue. This style also comes in satin or silk, but personally I think the eyelet fabric is what makes the dress.

Pretty Dresses: Belsoie Bridesmaids Fall 2008

Belsoie, a division of Jasmine Bridal, offers sophisticated yet modern bridesmaids dresses. They’re mostly a-line and mostly floor-length, but come in a nice variety of styles and necklines. I’ve been a fan for a while, but I especially love the rich colors in the Fall 2008 collection. Prices range from $150-$250.

Pretty Dresses: Charsa Designs Bridesmaids

Charsa Designs offers classic bridesmaid dresses with a twist that can be ordered online. Most dresses come in two different fabrics and dozens of colors (perfect for letting bridesmaids choose their own style in a given color). The website is easy to use and I love how each design features not only the description and prices, but little icons indicating the fabric and hemline. Bonus: the more dresses you order, the less they cost!


Jill: $285-$325
