Sometimes all you need to make a dress special is gorgeous fabric. This strapless dress by Watters is made in shimmering brocade and it is just a lovely thing to behold. It's available in knee length or floor length, though we really like it short (as shown here) because we love the contrast of traditional brocade with the youthfulness of a short strapless dress.

Available in sizes 0-24. Visit Watters.com for more information.



This luminous chiffon empire waist gown is so pretty and easy to wear! With its intricately embroidered bodice and flowing skirt, you will surely look like a goddess in this dress. It's definitely maternity-friendly too!

Available in sizes 0-24. Visit Watters.com for more information.

Sage by Christos Bridal
The sage by Christos is a simple scoop neck empire-waist gown with a beautiful velvet ribbon detail at the waist that cleverly wraps around your bare back and ties up into a pretty knot. It's a very sexy detail thanks to the deep v-back. In fact, all of the embellishment is at the back - there are fabric buttons from the base of the v-back to the velvet bow detail at the chapel train, and that's it - but somehow it's more than enough.

Check out the Christos website for more information.


For the bride who wants to look drop-dead elegant, we offer this stunning dress by Casablanca. The natural waist is highlighted by a wide sash, and fabric buttons travel from the bottom of the "V" at the back to the hemline. The French lace halter bodice is the key - it's beautiful and sophisticated, and certainly not fit for a "blushing" bride. Instead, we think this dress is appropriate for a real woman - and how many of us are getting married at 18 these days? Chances are that by the time you take that walk down the aisle you've lived quite a bit and there's nothing wrong in letting your dress reflect that. So say we.

Available at Casablanca bridal.

Liven up a classic satin sheath with a burst of bright color - we just love this yellow - for an update on the traditional bridesmaids dress. The sky's the limit when accessorizing this simple silhouette - you could add a brooch, dramatic flowers or a shawl in a contrasting color.

We'd love to see a wedding where every bridesmaid wears a simple dress like this, but in different brights. Wouldn't it be refreshing?

$188 sizes 0-14. Available at Nordstrom.

You will have some very happy bridesmaids if you choose this very stylish dress by Siri - in fact, we may beg you to let us be a bridesmaid just so we can have an excuse to buy it. This dress is GORGEOUS.

The portrait collar and full knee-length skirt are so deliciously retro and the entire silhouette is so feminine and fun and flatters many figures. We can imagine this dress fitting in both at a chic city wedding or at an old-fashioned family event. You will look amazing anywhere you wear it!

The Anastasia by Maggie Sottero is quite the popular dress (click here and here and here to see real brides wearing it) and we're not surprised - it's the quintessential bridal look. The one piece slim a-line gown has a sweetheart neckline and a corset bodice. The gown is scattered with beading and Swarovski crystals atop three tiers of floaty organza. A view of the corset is after the jump.

It's hard to find a dress with a bow in the back that doesn't make us feel like a little girl playing dress-up - but this one by Oleg Cassini is an exception. The bow in this satin A-line gown is big but manages to become a stylish focal point instead of a ridiculous add-on because it falls sensuously down the back following the daring line of the deep V-neckline in the front and back of the dress,.

The front (pictured after the jump) is goddess-like in its beauty, with the twist straps and ruched empire waistband. With a price starting at $750, it's worth checking out at your local David's Bridal.

  • Click here to see the back of this dress - the cut is sexy without looking cheap.
  • The ruched bodice is comfortable and particularly flattering to women with smaller busts.
  • In a rush? This dress is available as a "rush cut" at participating retailers

A short and sassy mini-dress for your wedding, this sweet concoction by Watters is subtly sexy in lace but still full of romance. And isn't that all you need on your wedding day?

The scalloped neckline and hem add enough interest to this dress that you won't need a veil. (Let's be honest here - most veils would be longer than this dress. This isn't for the shy.)

Available in sizes 0-15. Visit Watters.com for more information.



A dress that's sure to flatter a variety of body shapes, this strapless beauty by JS Boutique just might be the bridesmaids dress you've been searching for!

The pleated bodice makes the most of what you have up top, and the nipped waist (accented with an optional bow) that falls all the way to a release pleat skirt is fun and will create a feminine hourglass figure. There's something very fifties about this dress, and we love its sexy innocence.

$148 Sizes 2-14. Available at Nordstrom.

We find this dress by Casablanca bridal completely enchanting: The delicate lace overlay and front and back V-necklines are classically pretty and the slim A-line and chapel train are perfect on just about everybody.

Don't you find that the lace hem just enhances this dress? It's the little details that make all the difference.

Go to Casablanca Bridal for more information.

We love how this dress by Eden Bridal combines intricate embroidery and beading with wide swaths of smooth satin to achieve a look that is both clean and glamorous. The trick is to add embroidery only where it counts (at the bust and waist line and the hem) and let the quality of the fabric speak for itself elsewhere.

Two other nice features in this dress are the wide straps on the bodice and the front and back V-neck lines - both are flattering to a wide range of figures and are easy to wear.

Available at Eden Bridals - sizes 0-28

OK ladies, it's time to talk color. We all know that most bridesmaids would prefer to wear a black dress to your wedding, one that they'll be able to wear over and over again; but what if you have your heart set on seeing them in your favorite color - How do you make a statement color as flattering as possible?

Our advice is to stick to simple dresses that flatter a variety of figures - like the Caroline dress in a tricky orange shade we've pictured here. The simple a-line and the graceful bateau neckline help the color shine through without the distraction of bows or sparkly bits. Don't believe us? See dresses in this color at this real wedding.

Available at Lulakate.com - prices start at $250


What a perfect dress for your navy and gold wedding! This bridesmaids dress by Charsa Designs has a simple a-line silhouette but is enhanced by the beautiful shimmery navy color. The dress has an empire waist and crossover-v neckline so it will flatter a variety of figures and is bra-friendly.

It comes in your choice of faille or silk dupioni, and is of course available in a wide variety of colors. The picture shows the dress with silver shoes, but we think it would look just as lovely with pale gold sandals.

Available at Charsa.com starting at $270 (sizes 2-24)
