Bridesmaid dresses. There are some horrible ones. There are some GREAT ones. There are some cheap ones. There are some expensive ones. I feel fortunate that I've never had to wear a bridesmaids dress I didn't like! Today I was thinking "Self. You should post about all the bridesmaid dresses you've worn..."
So here I am!
Note: I don't know that I've changed/aged since the age of 11. I will post a picture of me when I was 11, and my face has stayed the SAME.
Dress #1: Kim and Brian's wedding.
July 3, 2004
Kimmy was my college room mate! <3 We have MEMORIES that you will not believe (involving anime and dungeons and dragons club meetings being held in our room. And neither one of us were members of EITHER club). Kim's wedding was in New Hampshire and her reception was in Maine....nifty, huh??
Dress:
Davids Bridal
Dress #2: Leah and Josh's Wedding
September 30, 2006
Leah and I were childhood, middle school, and high school best friends. We are proud graduates of ALIA, were we graduated from a class of 2. Yes, two. As in, me and her! I loved these dresses....you can't see in the pictures, but they had trains! Tres classe! (butchered french??)
Dress:
Bridal Beginning.
Dress # 3: Ashley and Russ
October 20,2007
Does she, or does she not look like Julia Stiles? Ash and I are college friends, sorority sisters (she is my little!), and kindred spirits. She was such a calm and care-free bride! (now that I think of it, all my friends were!)
Dress:
Davids Bridal
Dress #4: Mary and Bryan
August 16, 2008
I love pink!! This was the first bridesmaid dress I wore that was tea-length. Mary and I were also college bffs! Mary and I transfered to Westminster in the same year, had the same major (PR-what what??) Mary is just plain sweet. And there is nothing plain about that! <3 her.
Dress:
Catans Bridal
Dress #5 Gina and Jeff
July 10, 2010
You may recognize
Gina from all my
obsessive posts
about her! Gina and I go way back to our days as interns with FSN Pittsburgh. It's pretty comical that I landed an internship doing sports publicity and marketing, seeing as I really don't get most sports! (Sorry Steve!) Gina, however, knew what she was doing from the get-go. Such an amazing person and friend!
Dress:
JCrew
27 dresses- 22= my 5 bridesmaid dresses that I loved. I am proud to report refashioning and re-wearing has occurred with all but one! :)
What are some of YOUR favorite bridesmaid dress experiences?

LOVE IT!
Your post reminded me of a book I just read…the character, April, said she’d get married last. Then, for her wedding, she would have all her bridesmaids wear whatever bridesmaid dress they asked April to wear to their wedding. That way, if they made her wear a dress that was “27 Dresses”-atrocious, that’s what they would look like, but if they made her wear a gorgeous one, they would look amazing as her bridesmaid as well. Cracked me up ~ I’m sure no one would ever really do that, but it does take the bridesmaid-dress-picking to the extreme! :-)
