You know what they say — Always a Bridesmaid, never a Bride!
I somehow keep finding myself in weddings from my childhood besties to my cousins, and one thing has become abundantly clear... being a bridesmaid is expensive.
Being in four weddings in one year sounds cute until you realize it’s basically a part-time job. Between the travel, gifts, and glam, the dresses alone can take you out financially.
I quickly learned that if I was going to survive this many weddings, I needed a go-to that didn’t make me feel like I was throwing money away every time I said yes.
That's where Azazie has come in clutch time and time again! The affordable bridal (and beyond) destination has essential for the bride and her entire crew.
After ceremoniously being asked to be in not one but four weddings in one calendar year, I turned to the site to get my wedding day look in order fast.
This Barbie x Azazie chiffon column dress is all about effortless elegance with a little drama—soft ruffles, a sleek silhouette, and a leg slit that actually shows up in photos.
Lightweight and flowy, it’s the kind of bridesmaid dress you won’t be counting down the minutes to take off.
The first wedding of the summer was in sunny California and my dress for it was perhaps my favorite Azazie pick to date. I went with the Barbie™ AZAZIE 1001 for two reasons, it's stunning, and it's BARBIE!
Girls just wanna have... gorgeous gowns! I was in my besties wedding over the summer and we all wore Azazie picks in Rose Petal.
The chiffon detailed gown has a subtle slit, spaghetti straps, and an effortless flow that worked really well in an outdoor wedding. All of the other bridesmaids also found gowns on Azazie for the weekend and what I loved was how each of us picked our dress to match our unique style.
Right now the best-selling Barbie collaboration dress is wildly on sale with prices between $29 and $49 so if you are in love with it (like we were!) snatch it fast.
Not even a month after my sunny petal pink excursion in California I jetted off to Vermont to stand by my cousins side on her big day. Her wedding was a total 180 when it came to style, but Azazie had exactly what she needed.
This Azazie Angie dress balances structure and softness with a corset-style bodice and an easy A-line silhouette that flatters without trying too hard.
The chiffon fabric keeps it light and breathable, while subtle details like pleating and hidden pockets make it way more practical than your average bridesmaid dress.
The vision was knee length dresses and she really liked light chiffon in a lilac shade. We ended up wearing these stunning slightly plunging dresses that had flattering drop waist paneling and thick straps.
This pick ended up feeling totally bridal in a traditional sense unlike my Barbie pick from the wedding before. Azazie makes finding your vision easy with more color and fit options than I have ever seen on any other bridal site.
Pretty in purple! I wore a short chiffon style dress in my cousins wedding and I surprisingly loved it — especially the plunging neckline.
My next wedding that will have me walking down the aisle in Azazie is my brothers and I will be wearing the Azazie Sorrel gown. I am so excited about this ultra-trendy two piece set.
It comes in a plethora of colors and is a silky ensemble that feels so fresh. My sister-in-law and I spent days on the site sorting through options for all her eight bridesmaids and settled on a jaw-dropping mix of blue florals and silks.
This Azazie Sorrel dress is serving snatched and flowy at the same time, with a corset-style bodice and a mermaid silhouette that actually hugs in the right places.
The chiffon fabric keeps it light and breathable, so you get the drama without feeling trapped all night.
Anyone who has found themselves in the position to be a Bridesmaid knows that it doesn't come cheap. But believe me, from extensive firsthand experience, Azazie makes it simple.
