We have a new wedding advice question to share with you today! Bride-to-be Stephanie wrote to us last week about an interesting question and a fun style we’re loving right now: bridesmaid jumpsuits vs. bridesmaid dresses! And we can’t wait to jump right into this one with tons of new styles that just hit the market. She writes,

“Hi Emmaline! I want my bridesmaids to wear something instead of bridesmaid dresses. I like the look of bridesmaid jumpsuits… do you think they are a good idea? If you know of any places where we can buy bridesmaid jumpsuits, please let me know. I think it would be fun to wear something as a bridesmaid dress alternative, maybe even something they’ll want to wear again. Thank you for your input!”

Hi Stephanie! I like this question: what can bridesmaids wear instead of dresses? Jumpsuits! I do like the look! And I think they are such a fashionable non-traditional bridesmaid dress option and I wish more brides would pick them. Jumpsuits are one-piece pantsuits; they can be dressy or informal, depending on how you accessorize them.

In this post, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about bridesmaid jumpsuits, inspire you with 9 best bridal party jumpsuits, show you where to buy bridesmaid jumpsuits for sale, and answer some frequently asked questions about jumpsuits for bridesmaids to wear. Enjoy!

Here’s another question that may have come to mind:

Can bridesmaids wear jumpsuits if the bride is wearing a dress?

YES! Why not?

Can your bridesmaid wear a jumpsuit if you’re NOT wearing a dress (and rocking a bridal jumpsuit instead)?

YES! Of course.

Can bridesmaids wear jumpsuits and bridesmaid dresses?

Sure thing! But we recommend you find similar colors and patterns to ensure everyone looks cohesive. For instance, if some bridesmaids are wearing dresses in burgundy, find an exact color match but in a bridesmaid jumpsuit style.

It’s easy! And fun to mix-and-match, just like we love mixing-and-matching bridal party dresses.

If you’re wearing a wedding dress, bridesmaids can wear jumpsuits. If you’re wearing a jumpsuit, bridesmaids can wear them, too. Bridesmaids can wear anything you’d like them to, really, and you don’t have to worry about “coordinating” with what you wear.

Here’s the funny thing we noticed when looking for alternative bridesmaid outfits: typically, you have to do a little digging in places other than bridesmaid apparel. To find bridesmaid jumpsuits for sale, you may need to shop in wedding guest outfits instead to find examples. We did the digging for you to share the best bridesmaid jumpsuits right now so you don’t have to do a thing except pick a favorite and send these links to your bridesmaids. They get to decide what size is best and then rock down the aisle in any of these jumpsuit styles. You can get bridesmaid jumpsuits plus size, regular, and maternity. Pantsuits are flattering, are a “one-and-done” outfit, and are great for cooler months and warmer months (depending on the material and the style of neckline). Jumpsuits for bridesmaids fit in for any kind of wedding.

These stores offer a wide range of styles, price-points, and colors for bridesmaid jumpsuits to coordinate with any wedding tone and theme.

Now that you know more about bridesmaid jumpsuits as another attire option, let’s get inspired! I never thought I would rock a jumpsuit, but after seeing these styles I think I would totally try one. I am tall, so I always thought the pants would be too short but some of these styles look like they would work perfectly.

Which one is your favorite?
