I’ve chosen for my bridesmaids to wear white/ivory/cream dresses of their choosing for our wedding. while I’m trying to be very open to what they pick, I can’t help but point them in the direction of pretty dresses I find. these two from Anthropologie are beautiful contenders.

Oh my goodness I love that second dress so much! Wish it came in other colors so I could wear it to a wedding I’m going to this summer!
I’m loving the dresses AND the idea for bridesmaids. How lovely. Anything from Anthropologie is absolutely divine, isn’t it?
What will you be wearing then? How will you stand out?
love love love the second one! two of my bridesmaids wore anthropologie dresses… so pretty!
good question Taylor! one of my bridesmaids was concerned about the same thing. I fretted over which color dresses I wanted many, many times and nothing really stuck out to me. I’m such a fan of neutral palettes, that in the end I stuck with ivory.
we’re going for the ultimate casual feel for our wedding. we’re super non-traditional. plus, I think being the bride, of course, and wearing a long dress compared to their short dresses, I’ll stand out plenty. I think everyone will know who’s wedding they’re at. :)
Yes I am definitely in love with these!
I am a bridesmaid at a wedding this June and not sure if the bride is ok with white/ivory dresses for us. I wish these came in other softer colors. Anyone know of great dresses in peach, light grey, or sage green?
Jessica, have you looked at J. Crew? they have some beautiful pastel dresses! peach sounds so pretty.
i love the idea of a completely neutral palette.
gorgeous photographs.
Alyson – The JCrew Slub silk daydream floral Lorelei dress would have been perfect, but it’s no longer in my size. I’ll keep searching! Thanks for the tip!
More people should let their bridesmaids pick their own dresses… Everybody wearing the same dress and the same shoes is, I personally think, borderline tacky. Mixing it up is so much more appealing. And I feel like the bride will always be able to be distinguished.
The second dress is awesome!
Both of these are gorgeous. Love the details of the belts and subtle pleating. Who needs color?
Those dresses are divine!
I really love the second one.
Your wedding sounds like it will be stunning.
Hope you have a lovely weekend, Alyson.
what a great idea — i wouldn’t mind be pointed in the direction of these two dresses!
I love your approach and either of these dresses would be perfection. Your bridesmaids will love being able to choose with such freedom!!
alyson, i LOVE the second dress! and i couldn’t get it out of my mind the first time i saw it on the web last tuesday. i might have to pull the trigger and buy this one, even if i have nowhere to wear it to. obsessed much? :)
anyways, i thought this one from jcrew would be perfect as a bridesmaid dress too: Degradé Seraphina dress
ha everyone has an opinion when it comes to what we should wear…I’ll wear whatever makes the bride happy! here is a cute pic of bridesmaids that wore white, and I still think the bride doesn’t stand out AS much, although you can still tell the bride!
