RENT THE RUNWAY: Bridesmaids Dresses

Today here to talk all about bridesmaids dresses. We do not currently carry any bridesmaids dresses... but that being said there is sort of a reason for that. Both of us love the look of mismatched bridesmaids more than anything. Give your girls a color swatch and let them find something not only that they love, fits them well but also something that they can afford and not have to save up for. So today I am here to share some of my favorite bridesmaids looks from Rent the Runway!! They can rent a dress that is fabulous, star-worthy and sassy.

1. First things first, "marsala" is 2015's Pantone Color of the Year. So why not dress your girls in the color of the year? Not the easiest of colors to match but any shades of maroon/scarlet/plum are a close match.

2. All black bridesmaids. This look is perfect for an evening wedding. Think lots of candlelight, a historic Savannah mansion (Brockington Hall anybody?), glamour, champagne, and fabulousness all around.

3. Little white dress. Okay, I know this one probably is not common at all but say your dress is blush pink. I personally think it would look badass to have your girls in white with you in a blush dress. Or maybe that's just my dream wedding dress look...!? Probably is... since I love anything non-traditional. Anyway, if you are not feeling the all white bridesmaids look that's fine, instead these dresses would also be perfect for the rehearsal dinner, welcome drinks, or bridal showers!

4. Floral print. This one for Adrienna since she lives in floral print everything and anything. Perfect for the girly bride getting married in a romantic garden surrounded by blooms in all shades on a warm spring day. Sounds like heaven to me don't you think?

I challenge you to get creative, come up with a look you love and go for it. The unusual is not to be expected but will look so fantastic and don't you want your girls to look hot standing by your side? Happy Friday ya'll!!

SIMPLY INSPIRATION: Wedding Paper Divas Boundless Blossoms + Sarah Seven Violet Hour

Not going to lie... I am not one who rushes to go shopping Black Friday or even the weekend after Thanksgiving. I am quite content enjoying the warm comfort of my couch watching episode after episode of my TV show of the moment. That being said... I do love a good sale on stuff I need, such as white strips buy one get one free. Yup, I am all for that. Or even better... how about getting the stuff I need online and not even having to get in my car and drive somewhere but still save a ton of money. I am so down for that. And that brings me to the awesome sale Wedding Paper Divas is having right now that we wanted to share with ya'll - 25% off sitewide.
