Who pays for bridal party dresses?

“Traditionally, and still the most common practice today, is for each person in the bridal party to pay for their dresses,” says McKinney. “Growing in popularity is the option for the couple or bride to host their wedding party attire and cover all costs on behalf of their friends.” Imberman says it’s “common for the bride to gift her bridal party accessories to be worn on the wedding day and treat them to hair and makeup if they stick to tradition.”

When should you order bridal party dresses?

“Finalizing and ordering bridal party dress dresses approximately six months before the wedding date is the standard time frame,” McKinney explains. “Manufacturing and shipping lead times have lengthened in the last few years. If ordering from a custom source, add time and consult your designers’ production timelines.” There is much more wiggle room if you order bridal party dresses on Amazon. “When considering and ordering bridal party dresses from Amazon, your order and lead times may be shorter, but order at least three or four months before the wedding to allow time for sizing returns and alterations,” McKinney suggests.

How do you measure for bridal party dresses?

“Most are measured by bust, waist, hips, depending on style and length,” says Goldberg. “However, everyone has ideas on what looks good with their particular body type—some people want more room to move around, whereas others don’t have such requests.” When taking measurements, McKinney recommends referencing the measurement sizing charts for the designer or dress listing. If you're ordering from Amazon, “consult the sizing guides included, and reference the reviews for experience on the exact sizing and fit,” McKinney notes. “Always order for sizing based on your largest measurement, and have the rest custom-fit during alterations.”

The beaded bodice and banded waist pair elegantly with the soft tulle skirt, and the short cap sleeves give it a timeless look. The glamorous embellishments are most prominent at the top of the gown and taper off gracefully on the lower portion of the skirt, and there's a zipper closure for a fitted bodice and waist.

It has a ruched asymmetrical waist and a thigh-high side slit. The real drama happens at the back of the dress, where the one-shoulder design turns into an open back with a draped panel. Made with a non-stretch satin, the dress is meant to be fitted thanks to the invisible side zipper. It's one you’ll wear again and again.

What to Look for in Bridal Party Dresses

Cost: If your bridal party will pay for their gowns, celebrity event designer and planner Samantha Goldberg says to “try to be sensitive to the cost of the gown.” Everyone has a different financial situation, so choosing an affordable bridal party dress is beneficial. Another way to consider cost is to pick your bridal party dress color and then have your bridal party choose their dresses (approved by you). Many of the dresses on this list are budget-friendly—some cost less than $50. Some brides might also consider paying for the dresses themselves or gifting their bridal party a gift card to put toward their dress.
Color Options: When shopping for bridal party dresses, color is one of the most important things to look for. You, of course, want to ensure that the dress you like comes in the appropriate color, but if your bridal party is each wearing different styles, you also want to make sure the individual dresses match up. Going with the mix-and-match styles aesthetic helps you purchase different styles from the same brand—that way, you know the dress colors align.
Cohesiveness: Another thing to consider is how cohesive the dresses look together. “I recommend all of the bridal parties getting together with their dress options so the bride can see how everything looks together,” says event planner Melisa Imberman. “It helps to take photos of the dresses all together so you can see how they will look side by side in photos.”
