Which of those mother of the bride dresses tea length is the favorite? Would you wear one as your wedding gown? Or could they be better for bridesmaids?

I'd LOVE to own the very first!

Discover these explanations why you should think hard before you buy!

As a bridesmaid, you’re certain to have specific duties of the friend’s nuptials. More often than not, you will see parties and celebrations, dress shopping and fittings, plus some assistance required at the time itself. One aspect that’s certain to get some attention is the attire – regardless of color and length the bride selects, you’ll have to acquire a dress.

Bridesmaid gowns could possibly get expensive, and with respect to the style, it might be difficult to find an event to wear the garb again. In some cases, it’s worthwhile for gals to rent their dresses instead of purchasing them. Startup companies for example Vow To Be Chic provide a wide array of gorgeous, name-brand gowns that are certain to stun.

Here are some of the “pros” to renting prom dresses:

- It lowers the cost. It will come as no surprise the main reason women choose to rent dresses rather than buying them is the fact that it’s considerably less expensive. If you’re only likely to be wearing this gown once, why spend money? It might be nice to possess some extra cash to invest on a wedding gift or throughout a bachelorette weekend!

- Mistakes tend to be more easily fixed. Accidents happen, so when they do, it’s easier to work with an excellent gown rental company compared to a bridal salon. Additionally, because you’re ordering your rentals online, brides could make accounts using their chosen site and people accounts could keep everyone organized, ensuring all girls order the precise ensemble they need.

- They’ll fit around the first try. Since rental dresses can't be altered, most sites will deliver gowns in a number of sizes that you should choose from within the comfort of the own home. Once you’ve selected a garb that matches, send the spares back, and you’re completed with the process!

- They will be ready in due time. The modern bride and her ladies are really busy, and renting have a lot of the strain and uncertainty from the bridesmaid dress selection due to how quickly the procedure can be completed. With these rental companies, gals could possibly get gorgeous gowns that suit each physique and style inside a snap.

Whenever I spot the prom dresses rotting at the back of my closet, I begin to question the motives of a number of my now-married friends. Were they TRYING to make me seem like a beauty pageant cast-off? (Srsly: One is head-to-floor fuchsia—with a train!)

Here are five hot-off-the-runway bridesmiad gowns that I would looooove to put on. Of course, all of them won't work on everybody, but when one flatters all your bridesmaids' shapes, it might—might!—just function as the one bridesmaid dress they "can wear again!"

I already showed you my photo of the dress from David's Bridal's latest collection, that is technically an event dress, not really a bridesmaid dress, but I'd be happy to put on it like a bridesmaid! As I mentioned, I'm thinking of buying it to put on to Andy and Jackie's wedding this fall!

Which one of these bridesmiad gowns is your favorite? Would you wish to wear any of them? And can you ask your pals to wear them as bridesmaids?

If you need to spend a bajillion dollars in your wedding dress, whatever. That's your company. And I'm assuming Real Housewives of Orange County star Tamra Barney spent the vast majority a bajillion around the three custom Mark Zunino wedding gowns she wore when she married Eddie Judge. But her friends spent WAY less on the prom dresses. Eagle-eyed reader Mallory emailed me to express she thinks Tamra's bridesmaids wore mix-and-match dresses from White by Vera Wang, Vera's collection for David's Bridal, and I think she's right! Thanks, Mallory!

If you click here, you can observe two bridesmaids with what appear to be this cheap prom dresses:

And in other pics you can observe two more bridesmaids, one wearing this dress and something wearing that one.

All the ladies' dresses were within the collection's Blush color, so that they match perfectly. And they all are less expensive than $180, causing them to be even more awesome in my book.

Are you impressed that Tamra Barney put her bridesmaids in White by Vera Wang?

It certainly makes her seem considerate in my experience. Not everyone's shopping on the Housewives' budget, in the end!
