Picking The Perfect Bridesmaid Dress | David's Bridal

David’s Bridal is taking extra safety precautions during the COVID-19 virus. We were all required to wear masks.

My dress has been chosen (yay!) and now it’s time to shop for my girls!

I must say I am incredibly lucky to have an incredible group of ladies that will be standing by side next year. So, I wanted to make sure that not only was I happy with the dress that we chose but I wanted to make sure that they were happy as well.

If you’ve been following along my #weddingjourney then you know I’m all about being practical and budget friendly. I wanted to select dresses that my girls could wear again. If you’re looking to find attire for your bridal party, then look on further than David’s Bridal. They carry sizes ranging from 0-30W which makes them the best choice when you have a party of all shapes and sizes. Not to mention most of their dresses are under $200 and they are located in several states and offer shipping! This is perfect when your maids live in different parts of the country.

My wedding theme is formal and romantic. I wanted to find a dress that would meet those needs. I knew going in that I wanted my girls in long floor length gowns. My biggest challenge was choosing the top style because the choices are endless; one shoulder, spaghetti straps, crisscross neck, and many more. I also considered doing mix and match styles but decided that I like a more uniform look.

Friendly Tip: Remember you are the BRIDE! Although you want to make everyone happy you won’t. Pick the dress that best matches your overall vision.

There are endless styles to choose from and what I’ve learned is that once you start trying the dresses on you’ll quickly realize what your ‘style’ is and it will make it easier to choose. The best part of the David’s Bridal experience is that they offer in-house alternations, additional fees will apply.

Wedding Dress Shopping | David’s Bridal

*Due to COVID-19 you are required to wear a mask while shopping.

Most women dream of their wedding day and by the time they are 20 they know exactly how they want that special moment to be. I on the other hand have had several fantasies about my wedding day. When I was younger, I dreamed of getting married in a large cathedral style church being surrounded by all of my family and friends. Later that dream changed, I wanted simple and intimate. I think life taught me that - surround yourself with the people that love you and your future spouse. Weddings can get ridiculously expensive quick, so I was in luck with getting my dress from David’s Bridal.

David’s Bridal offers dresses from sizes 0-30w and all of them are under $3,000! Amazing, there’s a dress for every budget. Did you catch my takeover on their Instagram? If not, you really missed a treat. No worries, I’m going to share my favorite dresses below.

Galina Signature 

Style: 9SWG862

Color: Ivory/Cashmere

Price: $1199

Veil: V704

This dress is EVERYTHING!!! It was a close second, but I didn’t feel like it went with my venue. It has a beautiful open back with double splits. The floral lace appliques and illusion neckline made the dress a showstopper! I even love the cap sleeves and sweep train. This dress is perfect for the bride that is all about creating a whimsical vibe! 

Galina Signature

Style: 9SWG842

Color: Ivory

Price: $899

This dress is simply beautiful and kept in line with my idea of having lace. It’s extremely lightweight and flowy. It personally felt too plain to be my wedding dress. I think this would be great for a beach wedding or reception dress. It’s very romantic and the illusion v-neck is perfection. 

Galina Signature 

Style: 9SWG837

Color: Ivory/Cashmere

Price: $1399

Veil: V003

GLAMOUROUS!!! This plunging neckline and beaded bodice makes this dress fit for a queen. It’s very similar to first one but the back makes is where it truly shines. The back has a beautiful crisscross design with a thigh high front split. I could see myself dancing the night away in this gown, but it didn’t me true “bride-like” feels. 

Galina Signature

Style: 9SWG863

Color: Ivory/Cashmere

Price: $1399

Crown: 727

Wild card for the win! This dress is completely different than anything I tried on. It’s beautiful, classy and unexpected! If you choose to walk down the aisle in this stunner; heads will be turning. We added a crown for a very regal feel. Take me to the throne!

I am in love with everything I tried on and I had an amazing experience at my local David’s Bridal. I can’t wait to come back and watch my bridesmaids try on dresses. David’s Bridal has stepped up their sanitizing protocols to ensure the health and safety of all of their customers and employees. 

P.S. I have not revealed the wedding dress yet so stay tuned for the big day. March 2021!!
