I remember planning my wedding and it was a challenge finding a dress that worked for all the bridesmaids that was stylish and budget friendly. While being a bridesmaid is such an honor, it can also come with a hefty expense from buying the dress, travel, hosting bridal and bachelorette parties. Nobody wants to pay over $250 for a dress, especially when there were times that some of my friends were in two to three weddings all in the same year!
And yes like many brides hope to accomplish, I selected a dress that worked well for everyone and that I thought they could use again for a formal function. Really, did I just say that, the delusional idea that my friends would actually be sporting their bridesmaid dress again. Even though they all looked beautiful rocking their cobalt blue frocks but I am 100% sure that the dresses ended up in the back of their closet or donated.
I am loving New York and Company’s Bridal Party collection by Eva Mendes. The price point start from $69.95 to $129.95 and the styles truly would later work for a holiday party or elegant event. Here are a few of our favorite picks:
EVA MENDES BRIDAL PARTY COLLECTION – LACEY CONVERTIBLE DRESS $129.95
EVA MENDES BRIDAL PARTY COLLECTION – MARIA LACE DRESS $89.95
EVA MENDES BRIDAL PARTY COLLECTION – HARLOW HALTER DRESS $129.95
EVA MENDES BRIDAL PARTY COLLECTION – VALENTINA EMPIRE-WAIST DRESS $129.95
EVA MENDES BRIDAL PARTY COLLECTION – KARRIE LACE DRESS $89.95
