Wow, have bridesmaid dresses come a long way over the last few years. My first maid experience was when I was twenty-one, wondering what monstrosity my friend would pick to have us wear. I was having vivid flashbacks of Rachel, in the friends episode, standing there in that Pepto Bismol pink dress and hat. To my surprise, the bride wanted us to pick out the dress! We wound up with a fantastic floor length lilac gown that was just amazing in pictures. So ladies don’t be afraid, there are so many more options available than that of our predecessors!
I found this silver dress while flipping through the Fall 2009 issues of Elegant Bride. The design is by Dessy and can be found, along with other styles, online at dessy.com. I love how the stylist chose to keep a monochromatic palate by pairing this silver silk dress with a chunky silver pearl necklace and accessories. This look transitions easily from late afternoon to early evening effortlessly!
Complete your ensemble by checking out this awesome collection of shoes I found in the Summer 2009 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings. Bright pink is a major color trend in both the fashion industry an the bridal world. Mix and match shades in you bridal party attire, or within one look. Make a simple understated dress pop with a bright pair of shoes and bouquet. I am absolutely in love with the silver sparkle studded pumps in the middle, perfect to complete your bridal look and will be sure draw attention on the dance floor!

I love that dress! I wish I would’ve seen it in time to recommend it to my sister-in-law who is getting married next spring.
