Hi Loves!
Hope you are are doing well and in great spirits; and if you aren’t, let’s hope this post will cheer you up. Today’s post is all about picking the right bridesmaid dresses for my cousins wedding, coming up in Spring 2018. I spoke about my cousin’s engagement on this blog last summer. She really wants all of her bridesmaids to feel comfortable in the dresses we choose. She had one request, long and flowy.
While looking and asking around where I could shop for bridesmaid dresses, I learned about David’s Bridal collection of bridesmaids dresses. I set up an appointment to go in one evening, and man, was I surprised. My appointment was 1.5 hours and I was greeted with excellent customer service. My stylist was warm, friendly, informative, and most importantly patient. She took her time to learn about my cousin, her taste, the feel of her wedding and the type of bridesmaids she had in the bridal party. She explained to me the types and styles of dresses including fabric variations. She discussed color palates with me and wrote down my preferences based on our entire conversation. We then went into selection mode for dresses to try on. We ended up with four dresses to try on. I must admit, it was not easy narrowing it down to four dresses. There were so many beautiful options, but I contained myself.
My stylist brought all the dresses to a dressing room, set up especially for me, and I tried each one on. She explained that I shouldn’t pay attention to the color dress, but more on the fit and style. We had already talked about the color/s I would like to wear for the wedding- which was on the blush side. The first dress I tried on was this pretty lace one. What I loved about it was the gorgeous lace details and the fact that I could show off my arms. That was a must in picking my dress and my David’s Bridal stylist helped me accomplish that.
The second dress I tried on was this elegant and chic drape back, front slit leg dress. I felt like a quintessential black tie beauty in this dress. The split adds a lovely flair of glam to this dress.
The third dress I tried on was this glamorous gown that had me swooning over the fabric, cut and fit. Loved the modest cleavage, sweetheart neckline, and bell bottom. I felt like I was going to a ball, I felt beautiful.
The third dress I tried on was as this gorgeous ruffle and criss-cross strap dress. I fell madly in love with it. The dress moved smoothly over my body and I felt super comfortable wearing it.
The fourth and final dress I tried on was this fabulous wrap slit dress with a semi cleavage cut. A cleave cut was on my wish list too. My stylist once again delivered on helping me to choose from the wide selections for dresses that matched my wish-list. Because, really, it is so easy to get carried away with all the options. Ha!
So, without further ado (drumroll), I went for the ruffle dress with the criss-cross strap details. I instantly knew it was THE ONE. My cousin’s wedding will be in the springtime, in a warm location, close to the beach and she wanted us to be fun and chic. This was the dress. I absolutely loved the others but they weren’t the right fit for her wedding.
The beauty of it all, is that there is a dress for every bridesmaid out there at David’s Bridal. The wide selection and amazing options are unbelievable. I felt like I could have stayed all day and tried on dresses. I had no idea they were as impressive in the bridesmaids department as they are in the Bride area.
A few other important notes about the service and what David’s Bridal has to offer:
1. Vera Wang carries a bridesmaid line (the first dress I tried on was a WHITE by Vera Wang- How cool?).
2. Their dresses can and will be altered to your perfect fit, including adding length to the dress. This is especially amazing for my fellow tall girls. I’m 5’10” and I was informed if I wanted add or take away length that was possible. However, Vera Wang collection does not add length, only take away.
3. Finding your right size is really done by the stylist’s measurement and sizing of you. It’s not about your traditional store size. I found that to be wonderful, as we all do not fit a perfectly into any given “size”. Our bodies change, and it’s refreshing to be measured and fitted and not be limited to generic size options.
I really hope you guys found this post useful and if you are in the market for bridesmaids dresses, you will make a stop by David’s Bridal. You can simply call your local store to make an appointment. The staff is friendly and they have such impressive customer service. Please share this post with your friends and families that you think will find it useful now or in the future.
Until next time, Loves.
