Picking a bridesmaid dress that suits all your best friends is nearly as laborious a shopping task as finding your dream wedding gown. It takes serious time, with hours upon hours being spent sifting through dozens of racks of dresses. Because when you have to consider the varying tastes and budgets of your bridesmaids (and of course, whether or not the dress will complement your bridal gown and wedding setting), it's all about being strategic in your choices.
If you're all for optimizing cost per wear for your bridal party, consider these unique bridesmaid dresses that don't look like, well, the typical bridesmaid dresses (and can be worn long after the ceremony ends). Or if you want to ensure your friends don't have dish out too much money, these under-$200 picks look like they cost much more than their wallet-friendly price tag. And finally, if you want a dress that flatters a variety of skin tones, is versatile, and screams fall time, why not consider a burgundy bridesmaid dress?
Ahead, we found 33 trendy burgundy dresses your bridal party is going to love wearing at the wedding (and long after the ceremony is over, as well.) Curious to see our finds? Then read on to shop our extensive burgundy bridesmaid dress edit below.
