I love the color of this gown for a bridesmaid dress. The steel blue is radiant without being too bright or too dark.

These blue dress features a gathered bodice and a spaghetti strap halter tie. You can get this dress right now at Saks Fifth Avenue for $310. It doesn’t have to be a bridesmaids dress but I think it makes a good one.

What’s the most fun part of planning a wedding?  The clothes, of course!  But what should be fun, sometimes turns into something stressful.  After all, it’s not just your wedding dress that needs to be picked out, there’s your wedding party’s clothes, your mom’s dress, his mom’s dress, and don’t forget the dads.  Not only does all this have to be searched for and found, but it all needs to be color coordinated, too.

Available in other colors, as well; get it at Lauren Conrad which ships worldwide.

Short in the front and long in the back, this halter dress by La Femme shows off your legs while giving you the elegance of a longer gown.  I love the multiple satin bands around the middle which end in the bow.

This sensational Dolce Jovani dress is currently $900 at Prom Dreams.

If you’re the kind of person who has $900 to spend on a dress, I have two things to say to you:

I think this dress would look especially striking on someone with an olive complexion.
Let’s be friends.

The piece has that greco-roman look that’s popular right now but in fabrics you wouldn’t anticipate in this style; it’s beautifully innovative.
Prom Dreams appears to ship worldwide.  See their sale page, too.

Okay, I know I just did a post about Betsey Johnson designer dresses not too long ago, and I wasn’t planning on doing another one so soon, but I saw this dress, and it was just too cute not to feature.

I love the details around the hem, and there’s a hidden wire lining that helps this strapless dress retain its shape.
Get it at Revolve Clothing, which not only ships worldwide, but offers free shipping on both domestic and international orders, provided certain conditions are met (see their shipping page for more info).  See also their sale section and their blog.
