When you are shopping for bridesmaid dresses, keep two attributes in mind: simple and stylish. The best gift you can give your bridesmaids is a dress she can wear again, and simple (with tons of style so she feels beautiful wearing it) will go a long way. For instance, consider a little black dress for bridesmaids: classic, elegant, stylish, short, and can be dressed up or dressed down with ease. We think a little black dress for bridesmaids is an all-around genius idea because most women already own a favorite little black dress! If you selected a little black dress for bridesmaids or said, “wear any little black dress you love!”, you’ll be Bride of the Year. Plus, your bridesmaids will be happy, comfortable, feel sexy, the dresses will coordinate with ease, and you can have fun adding a few handmade accessorize to dress them up a bit. Today, we’re sharing how to accessorize a little black dress for bridesmaids with beautiful handmade wedding accessories. Read on for more…

Flower Belts

One of the easiest way to accessorize a little black dress for bridesmaids is with a flower belt! These flower belts are handmade with love by Caroline Alexander and feature a pretty flower with satin ribbon. This is an easy way to add a POP of color to any style dress. Select a color bloom that will tie into your wedding palette, or select from complementing hues to give each girl her favorite shade to wear.

Ribbon Belts with Flowers

We spotted these stunning ribbon belts with flowers at No. 144 and we think they’re so lovely! Simple, sweet, and chic. Take a look:

   Love all of these ideas! I think the ribbon necklace is great because it looks amazing with an up-do as well as a sleek straight look.

   I love your ideas for accessorizing. I had my bridesmaids wear a LBD when I got married almost 17 years ago. Black bridesmaid dresses were NOT “in” back then, but they all loved the idea and the pictures looked great. They each got to chose a dress that they loved and was within their own price range. And they all confirmed that they DID wear their dresses again (and again, and again)!

   I usually steer clear of the accessory-decision-making-process myself and leave that to someone such as yourself that obviously has an eye for it ;-)

   Thanks,
