Vintage Glam Bridesmaid Dresses For Less {More Forever 21 Finds}

Ahhh…blush pinks and golds, and mismatched matchy bridesmaid dresses. Are you all loving this trend as much as I am?

Well, I came across these lovelies during a recent trip to Forever 21 where, for the record, I made out like a bandit. Seriously. Red skinny corduroys for $20 {identical to a pair I found at j.crew for $150}, linen blazer with nautical blue striped cuffs for $12, jewelry galore, adorable coral textured tights, and the perfect pair of skinny dark denim jeans for $12 {rivaling a pair of Joe jeans that went for $196}… I was in heaven.

But back to the dresses.

I’m pretty sure the staff at F21 thought I was insane as I started rummaging through the dresses in order to pull just the perfect shades of pink, dusty rose and creamy white. At less than $30 each, these would be perfect for your fall maids, or to wear as a guest to a friend’s wedding! Soft, flowy, and romantic, it was love at first sight for me! Here are a few finds, along with links if you wanted to check them out online :)

Oh, and as I made my way to the register, past all the jewelry, I couldn’t resist this little gem {they had it in the perfect shade of pink, too!}

Never underestimate Forever 21, my friends. You never know what you’ll find in there {and your bridesmaids will be eternally thankful if they only have to spend $30 on their dresses!}

P.S. There’s a pretty good chance that this is not my last post about Forever 21 finds. Please don’t judge me. :) Oh, and Forever 21 should totally be sponsoring these posts, but for the record, they’re not.

I find lots of crazy deals there that look great and people always think cost so much more! It’s really all about how you put things together (that lineup of dresses you pulled is PERFECTION). LOVE love love.

Random, but what font did you use for “Forever 21 finds..”?

I kid you not, I was on J Crew last night looking for some outfit ideas and then I went to Forever 21 to find similar items for a realistic budget. So glad you did the same! Oh, and give me dress # 1 and #2 - those are too darling!

Love this and I love that they are budget friendly too. You don’t need to spend a fortune to look fashionable. I’m loving the trend of mismatched bridesmaids dresses - but like you show above, it looks best when they are in the same color family.

Those are awesome finds, and seriously… with a smallish bridal party… at less that $30 a pop you could easily BUY your bridesmaid’s their dresses and be forever known as the best bride ever.

I agree bridesmaids all around will be grateful for not spending a ton of money on a dress.

I love these! And I love the idea of shopping at unconventional (at least in Wedding World) places for Bridesmaid dresses. Please, keep the Forever 21 ideas coming. I just bought the book “Bridesmaid on a Budget” by Sharon Naylor just to see if I can save my ladies some serious dough. And I’m already paying for their accommodations. Wish I could pay for their dresses, hair, and accessories too.

Brilliant! Actually, as I read this post…. it just occurred to me that must have been what my recent bride and her bridesmaids did - several of those dresses looked way familiar! And, I must say, they do indeed look awesome together. Check out the girls together like five rows down in this post:

I’m with you - I can’t say enought about F21 jewelry either. Although, I went to get that necklace you last posted? Sold out. Boo. I like dress #3 a lot. I could even see it with tights & a cardi for more of a fall look. ;)
