We always have a handful of recommendations for the ladies and their bridesmaid dresses. Now it’s time to show the gents (small ring bearers, grooms & groomsmen included) where to go to pull off their dapper look. It’s all in the tie, or bow tie, right? Whether you’re having a romantic wedding with soft colors, or a summer wedding that calls for fun patterns and bright colors, Bows ‘N Ties is the place to shop. They’ve got close to 5,000 different wedding ties and bow ties in almost any color imaginable!

Choosing the perfect dress for your ‘maids is no quick task, but it is a fun one. It involves a lot of conversation over color, fit, fabric and style. Finally there’s Brideside, a place where you can do it all in one place, no matter where your ladies live. Brideside was founded by Sonali and Nicole, two friends who decided it was time that being a bridesmaid was more easy and fun!

They’ve introduced a whole new way of shopping for bridesmaid dresses. From sharing ideas with other real brides, having an online convo with your wedding party, saving your favorite dresses to your personal Brideside closet, to browsing their real wedding galleries to purchase any look you love. Like they said, being a bridesmaid is now more easy and fun to do with Brideside.

Brideside has carefully selected the dress styles that us ladies want and have identified designers (Jenny Yoo, Dessy Collection, Alfred Sung & more!) who make truly unique and beautiful dresses that your ‘maids will love to wear.

With their new Brideside personal closet, you can invite your bridesmaids to view and comment on your closet and then order your closet to try on at home!

We’re also excited to announce their newest partnership with Joanna August — a designer from LA known for her carefully crafted silhouettes that fall beautifully on any body type. Most of her dresses are made with elastic waist bands and her wrap styles help women keep it simple or dress it up. Her dress styles are perfect for mix-and-match!

Now that you’re ready to pop over to Brideside and tell your wedding party to join you, how about a pretty 10% off discount? Use promo code 100LayerCake when purchasing your dresses.
