Beachy Tropical Bridesmaids

Less than $200: Beachy tropical bridesmaids

I love the idea of a destination wedding. While I chose to get married in my home town I LOVE the idea of getting away for a little R&R while you are in the midst of last-minute wedding stress. Plus, you can just extend your stay after the wedding – there’s no need to travel again for a honeymoon! This bridesmaid look is so bright and airy! Add in some fun accessories and your girls are sure to match their tropical surroundings. 

TOTAL COST OF THIS BRIDESMAID LOOK: $163

{Clockwise} 1. Seaside Mojitos Dress, $60 | 2. Style&Co. St. Tropez handbag, $43 | 3. Essie nail color in Action, $8 | 4. Etched leaf bangle set, $10 | 5. Dangling faux stone earrings, $6 | 6. Michael Antonio Gota wedges in yellow, $36

Less Than $200: Country Chic Bridesmaids

I’m sad to see summer go, but oh so excited for the new batch of brides who have begun wedding planning for next summer! I never made it to a country wedding this year, but I LOVE the idea of a soft flowey dress with warm distressed leather cowboy boots. Isn’t this outfit just divine? And even though we’ve dedicated this look for bridesmaids, the BEST part is that this ensemble would also be GREAT for a bride on a super strict budget!

TOTAL COST OF THIS BRIDESMAID LOOK: $194

{Clockwise} 1. Birthday Magic Dress, $100 | 2. Beaded Crochet Crossbody, $20 | 3. Essie nail color in Case Study, $8 | 4. Flower Chandelier Earrings, $6 | 5. Not Rated Musket boots in cream, $60

Less than $1K: Retro blush bling bride

In case you haven’t noticed, I have a thing for the ’50s. When I saw this dress I pretty much fell out of my chair! Swooooooooon! I don’t know if it’s the lace details or the faint blush hue, but this dress just SPEAKS to me, ha! Pair this beautiful gown with some blingin’ blush accessories (omg those SHOES!) and you’ve got a seriously gorgeous, modernized 1950s bride.

Less Than $200: Peacock Bridesmaids

I’ve seen so many peacock themed weddings in the last few years, its ridonkulous! While I do love the idea, it’s an easy concept to take too literally (read: peacock feathers EVERYWHERE). This earthy bridesmaid outfit is my version of a deconstructed peacock color palette. Dosen’t the clutch just make you swoon?

A Wedding Setting:
Confetti Extravaganza!

by Allison on August 27, 2012 in Inspired Ideas with No comments

Happy Monday lovelies! I have been planning this post for months and I am SOOOOO excited to finally share with you! If you’ve never seen Confetti you need to drop everything and watch it NOW! I had a few movies on rotate while I was in the midst of wedding planning, and I swear to you I watched this movie monthly. I freakin’ love it!

Confetti wedding inspiration board

Confetti is a British mockumentary about three couples who won their dream wedding through a magazine contest. In true British form each wedding is horridly themed (there’s a tennis, musical and nudist wedding — you heard right, NUDIST) and hilarity ensues as everything that could possibly go wrong, does.

Confetti wedding inspiration board

We kick off this special three-part Wedding Setting with Confetti’s tennis-themed wedding. With obvious pops of yellow and green, this wedding is bursting with color and sporty-style. Although this theme might be a bit too literal for an actual wedding, we think this would be an awesome bridal shower theme for the tennis-loving bride. You could even take the girls out for a private tennis lesson … read on for tennis-awesomeness! And make sure to check back for part deux and trois of our Wedding Setting: Confetti series!

Less than $200: Bright Coral Bridesmaids

As a curvy gal, there’s nothing worse than a tight bridesmaid dress. Fitting 10 pounds of sweet, sexy sugar into a 5 pound bag is NOT pretty and it sure as HELL isn’t comfortable. This relaxed strapless dress is the perfect combination of style and simplicity and will flatter many different body types.  Throw in some geometric-inspired accessories and a killer pair of heels and you’ve got a dream outfit that your bridesmaids could actually wear more than once. If you love these geometric earrings as much as I do, you MUST check out our Under $1K: Geometric Summer Bride.

Geometric Summer Bride

Funky Geometric Bride

Is it just me and my affinity for nickel-based compounds, or are these dirt cheap $6 earrings the perfect combination of modern and dangly? I swooned the second I saw them. Too bad you can probably only wear them once before they turn your earlobes green, but I digress…

This bridal look is a little mod, a little funky and a LOT awesome. Although this dress comes with a steep price tag, it is well worth it considering this silhouette flatters almost all body shapes, looks very comfortable AND is one of the few gowns that you could actually wear again! Pair this dress with a few pops of bold color and you’ll be a summer stunner.

TOTAL COST OF THIS BRIDAL LOOK: $974

Budget Wedding Dress Ideas
In case you couldn’t tell from my post last week, I’m a little into colorful shoes. I love seeing them crop up at weddings — they’re so fun and bring so much personality to a bridal ensemble. I created a whole outfit here that I love because it features statement shoes in blue! They’re gorgeous and they serve as your “something blue.” They also remind me of Manolo Blahnik’s famous “Something Blue” shoes from Sex and the City. Paired with a chic dress and classic accessories like these drop earrings, blusher veil and neutral nails, they will not disappoint.
