For all those budget-concious spring and summer brides out there, have I got a treat for you (and your bridesmaids)! You already saw my picks for affordable wedding dresses, but why not take it easy on your ‘maids too? Just because you don’t buy it at a bridal salon doesn’t mean it’s not appropriate for a wedding. For $150 and under, here are some off-the-rack dresses that I think would work well as bridesmaid dresses. Click on the photo to view details.
Blues
Purples
Neutrals and Black
Patterns
Reds, Pinks, Orange
Greens
Well, ladies, what do you think? See any contenders?

WOW! I am smitten over all these dresses! The 2nd blue one and the first green one have to be my fav though!
These are all so great… I love the last one and the coral one (2nd to last in the reds/pinks section).
Oh, how I wish I could go back and re-plan my wedding. It was the most perfect day, but the shoes-dyed-to-match-the-dresses was not so perfect. I’ve already apologized to my sweet maids… It was 10 years ago. They forgave me.
A lot of bridesmaid dresses in the boutiques aren’t as bad as you might think (or at least as bad as I thought they would be, anyway). I was really cost conscious when looking for something for my bridesmaids, and I ended up finding a beeeautiful dress at the same place I bought my dress for $200. And that’s not so bad, all things considered.
Bridget,
I’m sure there are pretty dresses in the boutiques (I’m partial to J Crew’s bridesmaid dresses). I’m just feeling for a few of my gal pals who are in multiple weddings this summer, all requiring $200 dresses (which isn’t outrageous one at a time), and while pretty, are still bridesmaid dresses. I wanted to see what else is out there!
Mind sharing where you got your dresses? Maybe other ladies in your area would like the scoop! Thanks for the comment. xoxo
Where is the red dress with the lacey top from? It linked me to the pink one below it. Thanks!
Whoops! The red is from Forever 21. http://www.forever21.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=FOREVER21&category%5Fname=dress%5Fcasual&product%5Fid=2052292482&Page=all
It also comes in blue.
