Most recently, Styled by TC has expanded their inventory to include Bridesmaid dresses. With many brides asking if they carried bridesmaid dresses, they thought why not complete the experience and do just that, making them the one stop shop for “everything but the dress.” When brides and bridesmaids come into Styled by TC, they can always expect a good time – good music, champagne, and shopping with your best girlfriends!
With Emily’s event planning background and Ali’s fashion styling background, they were the perfect pair to ask for tips to finding the perfect bridesmaid dresses.

Choosing the Perfect Bridesmaid Dress

We suggest finding a place that will help you find the perfect accessories for you, as well as dresses and accessories for your bridesmaids, and maybe a few other things.

Go with a re-wearable Style- We’ve all seen, and/or had to wear, a lot of bridesmaid dresses, and lets be honest, most of them we wouldn’t be caught dead in again. You want your bridesmaids to feel beautiful in the dress they’re wearing, and if it’s a style they would never wear again, that may not be the case. Choose a dress they will want to wear again! This will ensure they feel beautiful and comfortable and lend well to the overall vibe and look of your wedding. There aren’t many stores that carry an assortment of fashion forward, re-wearable bridesmaids dresses, which is why at Styled by TC we carry select brands that offer a variety of re-wearable dresses. Whether your wedding is beachy boho or glitz and glam, we have a dress that your bridal party will be sure to stun in!

Let your Bridesmaids choose the right dress for them…With your guidance of course- The most challenging aspect of choosing bridesmaids dresses is definitely varying body types. Each girl will be a different height, weight, have different chest size, etc. Our best recommendation is to choose a designer, color and material and then let each of your bridesmaids choose their own dress from your outline. That way, the bridal party looks uniform, yet each girl has a different neckline that they are most comfortable in! This allows the bridesmaids to have fun with their selection and truly choose a dress that they feel confident wearing again (back to that last point).
Jenny Yoo is definitely one of our favorite Designers for this, and one of the most popular brands that we carry. Her dresses are romantic, soft and effortlessly stylish. Her Anabelle Convertible Dress is a gown that can be worked in 15 different ways. Whether they want a strapless, halter, one shoulder or cap sleeve dress, this is 1 gown with endless possibilities.
