Opinion on potential bridesmaids dress?

Hi ladies!

One of my besties is getting married this summer (July). She asked all of the girls to buy their own dress with the requirements being short and in the color family of seaglass. I'm super happy about both of these options but now am obsessing.

First, it's a 5:30 wedding so it will go into the night. Second, 2 of the girls have more casual dresses and another 2 of the girls have a chiffon style dress.

I bought these dresses, and my concerns.

First dress, it's shown in a pink but I got it in a light green. Color is great but I'm wondering if this "cotton cady" material is going to be too casual?

Second dress,  nixed, looks awful on.

Third dress, nixed, love it but they don't have it in my size/color combo :(

Forth dress, fits nicely but almost makes me look a little larger than I am and a little pregnant.

I really love the first but my casual fear is making me think I should wear the last one. We are wearing silver heels and she bought us a simple/classy silver necklace, earrings and bracelet so the jewelry is already selected (ie. I can't dress it up with this).

Thoughts? Please help. Thank you ladies!!

Re: Opinion on potential bridesmaids dress?

  • I actually love the first dress (it's the first one pictured, hot pink with the pink heels, right?) and think it would be perfect as a bridesmaid dress.  It is difficult to see exactly what the material is, but even if it's a light cotton or such, when it's paired with heels and jewelry, it's going to be dressed up.  From the sound of it, it doesn't appear your friend's wedding is extremely formal and you said yourself that two other girls have casual dresses.  I like the first dress over the fourth you were considering going with;  I actually think the fourth looks more casual, imo.
