Two Birds Bridesmaid Dresses
Happy Friday Budget Brides!
So last weekend I was in downtown Brooklyn with my mentor and we stop in this little shop that sold convertible dresses. We thought that this was such a cool idea. Who wouldn't want a dress to wear 10 different ways. So I just had to find a designer who specializes in the bridal industry to bring this idea to all of you. Now I know that most of you are wrapped up in this being your wedding day and your bridesmaids should be more than happy to be in your wedding. But let's be for real, we are in a RECESSION almost DEPRESSION right now. So let's make it a little easy on them.
Two Birds Bridemaid dresses is a wonderful company that makes convertible dresses for both Bride & Bridesmaid. I think these dresses are just so cute. I am thinking about buying one just because. These dresses are comfortable and verstaile. Made of Jersey & Nylon they look fabulous on every figure and very forgiving. Coming in two lengths of calf length and full length and with the option of styling it as least 10 different ways these dresses become unique for each bridesmaid.
Tips:
Groomsmen Ties are available
Monogramming Available

Tips to Shopping at Filene's Basement Running of the Brides
- Make sure you bring enough runners. Invite your mom, bridal party and someone with fabuluos style to help you look for the PREFECT dress.
- Remember to wear a great pair of sneakers and a pair of shoes the height in which you would wear on your wedding day.
- Since this is a smash & grab occasion use your brain. You may have a dress that you don't want. Bargain with another bride to see if she would switch one of her dresses with you.
-Research, Research Research. Search bridal magazines for the style of dress that you want. It does not make any sense to waste time pulling dresses when you don't like the style upfront. Also, get your partners in crime on board. Make sure everyone who is coming to help you knows exactly what you are looking for. You can even make photo copies so no one forgets.
