Yes, that is runway, not runaway….I always thought it would be somewhat cool and unique to make the wedding aisle more like a runway and dressing everyone differently, yet cohesive. Our bridal party consists of five on each side, so my thought is to select either different colors for the ladies and/or different styles. What I have found and love is the Dessy Group jersey twist wrap dress, it can be work at least 5-6 different ways. It seems as though this way of working the aisle is a little bit tabu, but I am determined to make it work! Or at least sah-shay trying.
::Sidebar– I am eagerly awaiting a sample of this dress so that we can try it on and ensure that the wrapping of it is as easy as it seems::
Dress by The Dessy Group::Matte Jersey Twist
See how fabu this looks?? My colors would all be in the purple family…at least 1st cousins of the violet family….
For my style, the different look is very much “me” to attempt being different. We are also thinking of having the guys ties match the girls dresses…. Or gifting them with a fun tie that matches without being too matchy-matchy. Poinsettia Dude and I have not yet selected the tie attire…but will post something once we do.
What do you think?

I think this is a great idea! Its not only are the BMs no longer stuck with a dress that doesn’t suit their styles BUT its a great thing if the BMs have different body measurements. Let’s be honest, we aren’t all bult the same and the dresses that the brides pick don’t always flatter everyone. If you have the option of wearing the dress however fits your body its great!
I was going to do that with my BMs but they all liked the same dress and the same dress also flattered all of their bodies!
If you are going to go with same colour but different dress then just be sure that its the same material on all the dresses so that the colour matches on all of them. Good luck, I’m sure whatever you pick will be gorgeous!

I love this idea!
I’ve been drooling over this dress… unfortunately it’s a little out of our price range. Anyone know of a more affordable alternative that still comes in lots of colours?
BTW Two Birds Bridesmaids dresses are also really great! (http://www.twobirdsbridesmaid.com/)

mandi less-
I have seen wrap dresses at Victoria’s Secret also. They come in a variety of colors, just not as many as the bridesmaid lines offer! Try it!
