Bridesmaids!!!

If you've come here for a review of the film, you might be in the wrong place, but if you're here for the pretty dresses, you have definitely come to the right place! We started this blog last October, and we can't believe we've not done a post on bridesmaids' dresses yet, so that is about to change...

At Especially For You, we mainly stock Alexia bridesmaids' dresses, as we find they have such a wide variety of styles available that there is a dress to suit everyone. Whether the fabric be taffeta or shantung, the dress long or tea length, Alexia have it covered. Then there is the huge array of colours to choose from. Each dress is available in a certain set of colours, we call this their colour card. To give you an idea of how many options you have, on one colour card there are 64 satin colours, on another 42 chiffons. We know it means a lot to a bride to be able to buy her dream bridesmaid dresses, and that means getting the dresses in the colour you really want.

Obviously we can't stock every dress in every colour, and some brides tell us it's is often hard to picture what their bridesmaids dresses will look like in Cadbury's Purple. This is where the Alexia website comes in. Once you order your perfect dresses in the right colour, we will give you a swatch of the fabric. You can go to Alexia's website and change the colour of the dresses pictured to get an overall feel of how the dress will look when it arrives (we always say be careful doing this though, because colours can look different from computer to computer, always refer to the swatch when matching colours).
On to our most popular Bridesmaid dresses, a chiffon dress and a satin dress.

Ax55

This dress is a beautifully flowing chiffon dress, where the tie can be made into a bow at the back over the zip, or hang loosely at the front. As you can see, the dress can be all one colour or two. There are 40 colour choices for this dress, so plenty to choose from. We think one of the reasons this dress is so popular is that it flatters everyone who wears it, whether you wear it as is, or we add chiffon straps. Click here to see the dress on our website. There is also a matching junior bridesmaid style, which is quite unusual to find with bridesmaid dresses, and these range in age from 4 to 16 years. It saves a lot of time when you don't have to go round the high street for a dress that looks similar for a little girl. The little ones have spaghetti straps, but again we can add extra fabric to make larger straps, it depends on how you decide to have yours. Find the junior dress on our website here.

Ax10

 Ax10 is a satin dress that is brilliantly versatile and looks so different in every colour. Like Ax55, you can have the dress all one colour or a main colour with a different band, and with about 60 colours to choose from, there are more than 3600 combinations. That's quite a lot, even the pickiest bridesmaids can't complain about that selection. This is a very flattering style, the satin hangs beautifully and creates an elegant and chic image. Again, there is a matching junior style, perhaps this is why these two styles are so popular. The junior style is available in ages 4 to 16, see it here. We think this might be our favourite satin bridesmaid dress, but why don't you find your own favourite by going on our website.

Now is a great time to order with us because of our brand new bridesmaid discounts. We no longer alter bridesmaid dresses that are ordered with us, so instead, we decided to introduce a discount that has become very popular with our brides. When you're budgeting for a wedding, any savings help.
