How cute and fun are these dresses by Rachel Roy? They’re also inexpensive, which makes them perfect for a cocktail or even beach party ;)

Jersey bridesmaid dresses? I initially hesitated at the idea of jersey too, but after seeing what Carol Hannah managed to do with it, I’d like one of these! These dresses are wonderfully draped, with a comfortable t-shirt material. If you’re having a more casual, fun and laid back wedding (a beach maybe?) I can imagine these being perfect.

These dresses can also be custom-made with chiffon instead of jersey too. And yes, if you feel like Carol Hannah sounds like a familiar name, she was a contestant on Project Runway Season 6.

It’s been a while since we featured a dress, so here’s a cute idea that I found.

I was looking for some eco-friendly ideas, and came across this two-piece dress. It’s made of a hemp-silk blend, has ruffles, and best of all, it can be worn two ways! If you like the long tiered look, you can wear that for the ceremony, and after you can take it off and dance for the reception. Pretty cute huh? I like the idea that you can be formal, and also have a bit of fun after. The simple design also really brings out chunky jewelry and flowers.

Since I’m not engaged, I’ve never really researched styles of wedding dresses. I just know there’s a lot out there! When I came across Sarah Seven last year, I fell in love and since then have known exactly what kind of dress I would want.

The draping of her fabric is lovely, and her bridal collection is soft and feminine. It’s just layer after layer of chiffon goodness! Her items are custom-made so just send her your measurements for a one-of-a-kind wedding dress :)
