About Mrs. Giraffe

Love At First Sight…

October 7th, 2010 @ 11:05 am by Mrs. Giraffe

I have totally fallen for the bridesmaids dresses over at Coren Moore. From the looks of the site, it seems like it’s a pretty popular brand, but I haven’t heard of it before. It seems like most of their dresses are out of our budget ($150), but a girl can dream, right? Most of the dresses cost $220–$320, but what is nice is that you have your choice of what fabric to order the dress in. Shantung, cotton sateen, and seersucker seem to be most of the options they offer. They also offer group discounts. I wonder how much I could save if I really wanted some of their dresses for my girls? Hmmm, I’m not sure. I should check it out.

Another plus is that the website is easy to navigate and nicely designed. It’s always a turn off for me if I can’t quite figure out a website. It makes me quickly navigate elsewhere.

So, without further ado, here are a few of the cutest/freshest bridesmaids dresses I’ve come across so far!

Here is the Rose. The small photo doesn’t do it justice. Head over to the website to see the full-length photo in all it’s glory. I’m actually quite smitten with it, but $290 is way over our $150 price tag. But it’s the perfect length—just above the knee is just right! Oh, and those little ruffles around the neckline! Mmm—gorgeous! And I still have an obsession with putting a sash/bow on everyone, which doesn’t work on all dresses, but it could work here! The nice flat panel around the waist could be perfect for a nice little sash.

Maybe they have sales? I’m not sure; I’ll have to keep an eye on it. But regardless, this is love.

Tara is ready for all occasions, actually! She can be bought as a full-length dress under the evening section ($315), or as a shorter dress under the cocktail section ($285). Swoon! I love options!

Oh, Lily. What’s that you say? I was trying to add a sash to Rose, when you were already perfect? You guys have the same adorable neckline, but Lily’s shape it just fantastic. So cute, so lovely!

So there they are! If your budget allows, I highly suggest heading over to the site to see some cute dresses!

OMG I *heart* the Tara dress. My girls want a sweetheart neckline sewn into theirs. =)

I have my eye (and heart) set on several of the dresses over at J Crew. But I don’t want to force everyone to spend $200+ on a dress. I’m giving them guidelines and letting them pick, but if i can steer anyone that way….

Very pretty dresses :) I fell in love with so many bridesmaid dresses early on- but they were all way over our budget so in the end we bought off the rack from a regular ol’ clothing store :)
