When your family and friends accept to be your bridesmaids, they’re not only agreeing to save the date and join you in such a happy occasion—they’re also accepting to invest their money in the dress, accessories and a myriad of (mostly expensive) details.

The best you can do for your bridesmaids is to help them find affordable and high quality options for their attire—yes, such options exist!

For accessories, makeup, the bridal shower, and pretty much all the expenses the could possibly have, refer your besties to this handy bridesmaid's budget guide. They’ll thank you!

In regards of the dress… well, a few hours browsing through Pinterest will easily overwhelm any bride with what can literally seem like endless options to outfit your ‘maids in. But it’s true—bridesmaids now have more style options than ever when shopping for dresses, so we recommend you narrow down their options in order to ease the selection process.

Finding Affordable Bridesmaid Dress Options

Offering a set of choices to your bridesmaids is way better than a careless “whatever you want” or a constricting “one style fits them all”.  You can do so by using different approaches: decide the color you prefer, the general style, or even the fabric’s appearance.

Then the price tag comes into the equation. By our own experience, most bridesmaids have a dress budget between $100 and $200. Your bridesmaids will most likely have to buy their dresses on their own, so making their options affordable is going to be extremely important… and appreciated!

We want the decision-making to be easy for you, so we’ve chosen dresses between $99 and $195 that are also a good value compared to similar styles!

So, let the choosing begin!
