Simple and Affordable Bridesmaid Dresses




Bridesmaid dresses your girlfriends can wear again! If you or one of your girlfriends is getting married, it is a good idea to take a look at Utterly Engaged's Alternative Bridesmaid feature. UtterlyEngaged.com is a new online wedding magazine for the budget conscious bride. It is full of fun and creative alternatives to creating a high-end looking wedding within the budget. If only this site existed when I got married! In this issue, they talked about how you can find simple and affordable dresses and turn them in to amazing bridesmaid dresses with the right accessories.

I helped styled the ladies with dresses from Ruche! You would never even consider these dresses as bridesmaid dresses, but look how great they look with the right accessories and flowers!

Thanks special thanks to:
-Lucia from Utterly Engaged for planning and setting it up
-Stephanie Williams Photography
-Flowers by JL Designs
-Makeup and Hair by Theresa Huang
-Beautiful creations from etsy ladies - shabby chic necklace & barrettes by La Vieja Tun Tun and cute crochet necklaces by meekssandygirl, hair pieces from Be Something New
-Urbanic Paper Boutique for letting us borrow their place to get ready
-AND of course the lovely models that couldn't showcase the looks any better - Patricia Iluore, Afie, Tiffany Toto.
