please help me!! i need to find a dress for my bridesmaid but i don't like traditional bridesmaid dresses!

[beautifuldays]

i'm getting married in july and i need to find a dress for my bridesmaid sharpish as i can't sort out all the accessories flowers, mens craveats etc until i know what colour the bridesmaids dress is! i have searched high and low but i don't really like traditional bridesmaids dresses, and i really don't like satin or taffeta.

i've only got 1 bridesmaid, she's mid twenties, size 14, and pale with blonde hair. i need something quite plain as my dress has lots of detail on it. colour wise - blue/turquoise/green/lilac.

any suggestions very gratefully received - i can't find anything i like!!!

thanks

aww thankyou MrsEi25 will just go and have a look

the ones linke dto are NAFF

that was my plan cod

i do want her to look nice! that is why i'm trying to avoid traditional bridesmaid things in satin

each to their own cod

just say here haev some moeny go and buy somehting
tis not liek she is JOINED to your hip all day
and ill tell you the onyl photo you ll haev up will be of you adn dh and not her

Cod - totally agree that these dresses are not up there in the style stakes, but you can't seem to get the 'structure' someone with my, ahem, curves needs in order to skulk down the aisle behind bridie...

As it happens, I still flashed my tranny pants t oalland sundry

Anyway, OP's bmaid is a 14 or something...probably slink into any stylish frock

thisis my fav so far, but going to keep looking, and make her go try it on to see what it looks like of course

www.phase-eight.co.uk/campaign.htm# pahse eight do good formal wear
buti tbh let her go and get summat fomr coast and then do your won thign re menswear
MUCH cooler

loevly but dont match the mens cravats
PLEASE

inf act just giev em whtie ones

are goign to a maets weding soon where veryone is in balck and white

ah but if i just gave her some money she would come back with jeans and a t-shirt

she is not a dress person usually, which is why i'm trying to avoid the formal evening gown things.

i know someone who gave the money to her bridesmaid for the outfit. she turned up in a catsuit.

i HATE snazzy waistcaots

my dh wore a suit and looked great

But Cod won't that just be dull??? You can wear black and white anytime. Isn't it nicer when weddings are colourful and happy?

Or am I just sappy oldfashioned clueless??

i dont mind colour
its jsut teh " we haev a theme" thing i find u un bearably twee and of NO imprtance to anwyone outside the bridezilla

colleague had all men in waistcoats and cravats in deep to pale palette colour so they could all stand together like a fucking sunset.

lol! we don't have a theme and who you calling bridezilla

the colours are based on the flowers and they are green, blue, lilac, etc etc

all the waistcoats i've seen are far too snazzy, so going to go for plain and get cravats/ties in a complementary colour to bridesmaid/flowers

fishie! oh dear!

fishie that si fantasticaly bad!

yes morning suits and yes grey

or buff - buff waistcoats very good with black morning tails
