I am a 2021 bride and have been right in those shoes not very long ago. Color, style, fit, etc. all are things to consider and for me, it was pretty stressful & difficult because I can be suppppperrr indecisive.

HERE ARE MY TOP 5 FAVORITE SHOPS FOR BRIDESMAID DRESSES:

1. Baltic Born – Baltic Born is an amazing (nontraditional) online shop with lots of BEAUTIFUL bridesmaid dresses. This is where I found the dress I wore to my engagement photos AND my bridesmaid dress for my best friends wedding. She was looking for a boho look with lots of texture. I paid $75 and got my dress SUPER fast.

2. Revelery – This online shop also has some more boho options and traditional options on their site. My favorite dresses of theirs are the velvet material – if I was getting married in the fall I would definitely be getting velvet dresses.

3. Azazie – Azazie has a ton of colors and styles to choose from making it a one stop shop for a lot of brides. Not to mention their prices are pretty affordable. I have had a lot of brides go with Azazie. Although it is not official, my current plan for my bridesmaids is to order through Azazie – everyone will order the taupe colored dress in a style they like. I just want them all to have a different neckline.

4. Bridal Gallery (in Sioux Falls, SD) – I am all about supporting local businesses which is why Bridal Gallery made the list. In Sioux Falls, Bridal Gallery is one of the best shops to stop at. Their dresses are a little more spendy than Azazie but you also get the perk of seeing it on a bridesmaid in the store before ordering. They have a great, wide variety of colors and dresses as well.

5. David’s Bridal – David’s Bridal is another local shop (& you can purchase online) that has a lot of great options, they just released a cinnamon color which is to die for. Their dresses are relatively affordable and they have even more of a selection than Bridal Gallery. You can either order online or head to the store and get the perk of seeing it before you order it!

6. One Loved Babe – this store made the list because although their selection is quite a bit smaller than the rest, you can find a more casual bridesmaid dress here for around $50-60.

Finding the perfect bridesmaid dress does take time and you have to keep into account your style, season, and color palette. I personally chose a neutral bridesmaid dress color (taupe) because I wanted to be able to put a lot of color in my florals (not to mention my closet is full of neutrals – that is just me). I wanted a rust colored bridesmaid dress but because I am getting married in June, I wanted something a little brighter for summer. Same reasoning I couldn’t get a velvet dress – it does not fit the season.
