Bridesmaid dresses for weddingin Italy this October

7 replies

Help! I am getting married in Tuscany in October and need to find bridesmaid dresses for my three bridesmaids. They are all older (35, 37 and 45) so I don't want anything cutesy or girly. I'd like something elegant and also something that they can wear again so nothing too formal. We are having the ceremony on site at the place we are staying (beautiful villa) and I am wearing a lace wedding dress.

All three bridesmaids have large busts and are dress size 14 - 16.

Any suggestions gratefully received (oh and we don't have a huge budget so hoping for 70-80 max per dress!

TIA

what colours do they like? or you want,

at my friend's wedding last year, she had four similar ages/sizes,

they carefully chose the dresses so the shape was flattering, fitted, crossover, sort of wrap around, and they all had slightly different colours, light blue, light green and a light greeny blue, sort of duck egg colours, just past the knee,

looked fantastic, and they are all wearing the dresses again and again, as they each chose a colour they really liked,

I'd be happy for different colours for each - I just haven't been able to find a dress in three colourways.

I'd also be happy with floral/ patterned dresses.

My sister was my bridesmaid and she wore a beautiful pale green, strapless dress from Dessy/After Six. I just had a quick look at their website and there's a big selection of colours, styles and lengths. I don't know your taste, but there may be something that interests you:

I like both phase eight ones and the untold one. The alexon ones I think would probably flatter them all but are darker than i'd like.

I'd like something that isn't too wintry.

I like dresses like these
www.phase-eight.co.uk/fcp/product/fashionArabella-Twist-Front-Maxi-Dress/201679911 do you think one in each colour would look odd?

And this is my favourite but I don't think it will suit the larger bust? What do you think?

that last one doesn't suit larger busts, it would look odd, love the colour of the first one.
