Wedding Season Has Arrived: 12 Places to Shop for the Best Bridesmaid Dresses
Whether you have one bridesmaid or 10, having your closest friends and family surround you on your wedding day is so special. But shopping for bridesmaid dresses is an entirely separate feat that can easily become overwhelming on top of all the other shopping that goes along with planning your big day. Bridesmaid dresses are hardly one-size-fits-all, and the same goes for shopping for them. It all depends on your wedding location, theme, décor, and so much more.
To make the whole bridesmaid-dress-shopping experience much easier, it all comes down to knowing what you're looking for in your bridal party attire, which is why I'm breaking down the best places to buy them and why. From the site with the best floral pieces to where to head for classic staples, read about the 12 best destinations to head to and shop my edit of the bridesmaid dresses from each of them.
