Okay, so, picture this: My best friend, Sarah, is getting hitched, and guess what? I’m the maid of honor! Of course, I wanted everything to be perfect for her big day, and that included finding the absolute dreamiest bridesmaid dresses. We decided on a champagne color scheme – so classy and elegant, right? And midi length, because who wants to be tripping over their dress all day? Not us, honey.
First things first, I hit the internet. I spent hours browsing through online stores, scrolling through endless pages of dresses. There were so many options! Maxi dresses, off-shoulder styles, you name it. It was a bit overwhelming, to be honest. I bookmarked a bunch of dresses that caught my eye, mostly from stores that specialized in unique or custom-made pieces. I wanted something special, you know?
Then, I started thinking about the practical stuff. I read that, traditionally, each bridesmaid pays for their own dress, along with the maid of honor and the mothers of the bride and groom. So, I needed to find something beautiful but also affordable.
We decided to order the dresses about six months before the wedding, just to be safe. Some of those designer dresses can take forever to arrive! Plus, we needed time for alterations and all that jazz.
Next up, I gathered all the bridesmaids for a fun dress-shopping day. We hit a few local bridal boutiques, trying on different styles and fabrics. It was so much fun seeing everyone’s faces light up when they found a dress they loved. We narrowed it down to a few favorites, all in that gorgeous champagne hue. We made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident in their choices. Because, honestly, that’s what matters most.
After a lot of back-and-forth, we finally settled on THE dress. It was a beautiful champagne midi dress, simple yet elegant, and it looked amazing on everyone. It was a bit of a splurge, but we figured it was worth it for such a special occasion. It’s a neutral shade and flatters all of the girl’s skin tones. The soft golden tones evoke the warm, romantic atmosphere that’s perfect for the wedding.

We all felt pretty darn good in those dresses, too!
