Bridal Party Dress Inspiration

I've been doing some looking at bridesmaids/usherettes dresses as of late and I thought I would share my "visions" for the look I'm going for. I am so indecisive about the bridesmaids. I go back and forth with having mismatched bridesmaids with a common color palate to matching bridesmaids. I know I want my friends to feel very comfortable, and I want to find them a dress they will wear again--I don't want them to feel like they are blowing a big wad of cash on a dress they will wear once. I want it to be affordable!

I have been perusing the ModCloth website as of late, and I thought I'd share some of the dresses that caught my eye. This is half for your viewing pleasure, half for my own unorganized brain, and half for my bridesmaids to see what I'm thinking! (Excuse my math. I'm on spring break.)

Judging from this collection I put together, I'm going for a vintage-y look and a classic shaped dress. I want something that's flattering for everyone! Without further ado...

#5

#6 

 #7

#8


I'm mostly kidding about this last one... I do love it but I know not everyone appreciates rainbows as much as I do.
#9

I guess I'm drawn to yellow as of late, but never really considered it as a wedding color. I think I am going to go with ALL colors rather than pick a couple, which makes picking dresses a little tricky. What do you think, ladies?? Which ones are your favorites? I want NEED your opinions!!

(These pictures are a little blurry...click the links below to see a clearer view of the dress and zoom in for the details)

#1. Mint Milkshake Dress in Banana (maybe a little too girly?)
#2. Peach Me I'm Dreaming (maybe a little casual?)
#3. Made In The Shades Dress In Floral Furry (I really love the print of this dress and the vintage vibe!)
#4. Pasture Perfection Dress (love the color, but maybe too casual as well?)
#5. Memories Of You Dress (when I picture all my girls standing together I think this dress would be cool)
#6. Lemon Lattice Dress (very vintage looking, but the neckline might not be for everyone)
#7. Banana Bubble Tea Dress (yes, a little too bright, but I like the details in this dress as well as the shape)
#8. Cabbage Rose Dress (I think this would be very flattering on everyone and I love the print and colors!)
#9. Too Much Fun Dress in Rainbow (in a world where I didn't care about anyone else's opinions...) :)

All of these dresses range in price from $47 to $107, which makes me very happy. Does it make you happy?

As I'm looking at these dresses, I am jealous I don't get one. Then I realize I will have a beautiful white wedding dress on, and I'm ok with it. But in all honestly, I'll probably order myself whatever dresses the ladies get. Is that terrible?

Macey, Heather, Lindsey, Maddy, Tonia, Erin, Andrea-- what do you think?
Rest of the world? What do you think?
I think we're getting somewhere!

I like the styles of 1 & 7. It is a wedding after all and you don't want your guests dressier than your wedding party, do you? But I could see you wearing all these dresses this summer!!

I like #8! And if anyone needed a little extra support it would be super easy to attach straps of some type. You could also add a bow or whatever! Unfortunately it looks like there are only small and medium left :( 
I LOVE that you want to have many colors! You could do all the same color dresses and different color details or different flowers in their bouquets!
