Top Tips for Buying Cheap Bridesmaid Dresses
- "Don't let this be the first job on the list," recommends Catherine Chambers, Head Of Ecommerce at Little Mistress. "The bridesmaid dresses need to flatter the couple's outfits and the vision of the overall wedding. It's also good to have a rough idea as to whether you want your wedding squad to be in matching dresses or mix and match styles either in design or colour. Don't be shy to totally mix it up."
- If you're buying bridesmaid dresses from a high street store, do a recce online first and call the shops ahead to see if they have the styles and sizes you like – if not, order them in to try on.
- "Make sure you have a budget in mind," says Catherine. "Giving yourself a cut-off price for the dresses will help you decide which brands work for you and which to steer clear of."
- When you're ordering online, think about upgrading to a one-off delivery fee that'll get you free delivery for a whole year. It'll make buying several sizes to try on and return a much easier (and cheaper) experience.
- Brands like ASOS and Oasis often do the same style of dress in different lengths and across their petite and tall ranges. If your bridesmaids are lots of different heights or body shapes, this is your best bet for finding a dress that they'll all feel comfortable in. Another option is to plan in alteration time. "To make the most budget dress look luxe, encourage your bridesmaids to make an appointment with a seamstress to make the dress fit like a glove," suggests Catherine.
- Don't assume that just because you're buying different styles of navy dresses from the same shop, they'll be the same shade of navy. Lots of people love the mix-and-match looks, but if consistency is key for you, make sure you compare the dresses in real life in good lighting.
- "Have fun with it! Keep an open mind and take advice from your bridesmaids on dresses they like and allow them to try styles you wouldn’t have gone for. It might surprise you! Although it is the ultimately you and your partners big day, you want them to feel comfortable and they will appreciate having their opinions heard," explains Catherine.
