WEDDING WEDNESDAY: A BRIDESMAIDS DRESS SHOPPING SOLUTION Perfect for brides with ladies who don't live in the same place

I am so excited to share this Wedding Wednesday post, because as a bride a few short years ago with bridesmaids from across the country, getting everyone into coordinating let alone matching bridesmaids dresses was a serious challenge. There was really only one option at that point with stores in each location- and we were lucky and found dresses that worked on ALL (and they had pockets- you can’t go wrong with that!).  Here we all are 🙂

I shared about another option using Rent the Runway (click here!), but this is a newer option that I was so excited to learn about recently, and knew right away I had to share!  Enter: Azazie.

This website sells dresses for all parts of the wedding day (including for the bride!) but I think it really shines for bridesmaids.  So basically, from what I can understand, you can pick from many many selections (with a really helpful sorting tool for different styles/etc) and then a multitude of colors.  That is similar to a Davids Bridal type option.  But then the magic happens- because you can easily order swatches of fabric, allowing you to do coordinating bridesmaids dresses if you want to and giving you an easy way to do it (vs all the same!).  But my very favorite part? You can ORDER a few different styles to try on for pretty much just the shipping fee- giving you a chance to see what the bride and bridesmaids like the most and send back what you don’t want! You can also order custom sizes, giving ultimate flexibility.

A couple of my brides have already used this or are planning to this year, and said they were able to shop much more easily with bridesmaids across the country. One even had a fun in person party with a few of her girls who ordered them at the same time, and they all tried them all on together- similar to a store, but much more comfortable and fun at her home!  There are so many beautiful dress options, and TONS of colors and I just think it is such a WONDERFUL option!

Here are a few dresses I LOVE from Azazie!

And just in case you were curious, Azazie has no clue who I am- I just think this is such an amazing concept! 🙂
