Style Guide: Bridesmaid Dresses

The LaurenConrad.com Bridesmaid Dress Style Guide

As someone who’s been a bridesmaid a handful of times, I’ve had my fair share of the good (and bad) when it comes to bridesmaid dresses. As far as being a bridesmaid, your role is to support the bride. That means wearing the dress they choose for you with grace and being by their side during any mini-meltdowns that may occur on the big day.

Luckily, there are so many gorgeous gowns out there right now that will leave the whole bridal party looking beautiful, feeling great, and complementing the beautiful bride to perfection. So for all of you brides and bridesmaids out there, I’ve rounded up a wide variety of dresses (including a few from Lauren’s own Paper Crown line), sure to leave the whole wedding party happy.

Now, I also love the idea of mismatched bridesmaid dresses. Whether they’re different colors, styles, or patterns, if it’s done right it can be beyond beautiful.
