We all know the line that goes along with bridesmaid dresses:\u00a0 “AND you can wear it again!!”\u00a0 But the real nitty-gritty truth of the matter is: you will be hard-pressed to find a group of women who all love the same dress and<\/i> look great in it.\u00a0 Let’s face it ladies, we all have different bodies that come along with their own set of strengths and weaknesses.\u00a0 We should dress them accordingly.<\/p>\n

I like to think that bridesmaid style is a reflection of you, the bride.\u00a0 If your petite college roommate is drowning in a satin gown and your busty bestie is overflowing out of the strapless top, it may be time to try some different options.<\/p>\n

The newer trend of mismatched dresses for bridesmaids is great for so many reasons.\u00a0 When all your best girls are fit and flattered in their dresses, it allows all the focus to be on you and your man on your wedding day.<\/p>\n

It also allows your friends to choose their own budget.\u00a0 Typical bridesmaid dresses are exorbitantly expensive, and usually poorly made with cheap fabrics.\u00a0 These days there are so many avenues for finding amazing fashion at affordable prices.\u00a0 From flash sale websites to online consignment shops, and even shopping on Instagram, your options are limitless.<\/p>\n

Here I have put together an entire bridal party look, all dresses are (well) under $100:<\/p>\n
