Aria Bridesmaids

Gorgeous, stylish, rewearable dresses made in two months, a full month ahead of their expected ready date. My BMs LOVED them and I received tons of compliments from guests on how great they looked in their different styles. At least three wore them again for various events within six months of the wedding. As a side note, I asked my maids simply to pick whichever neckline they wanted and everyone would be wearing the deep red knee-length A-line dress. I didn't make any requests as far as shoes or makeup or hair or jewelry -- I did, however, pay for their makeup and hair so they all would feel beautiful and relaxed. They are all very different, strong women and I wanted their style on my wedding day to reflect that.

We bought the ringbearer's tie from Aria's sale section on their web site, a fantastic resource where you can get never-worn items for at least 50% off the normal price.

Cranberry stripe with sunset gold sash. I only had one BM, so it was an easy order for Aria. They sent the dress promptly, and quickly corrected a sash problem. My only hesitation with them is that I think that they are a bit pricey for what you get, but I guess that's the nature of the wedding business, right?

From all my vendor this one turned out to be bad. I went to Aria's because I heard so much postive feedback. It started well and they even helped with a couple of dress for my MOH in NY with their try-on program. All my girls including myself went to try on dresses and they all fitted good and we went with the sizes they tried on. When they recieved their dresses, it didn't fit. The dresses were all cut too small. One of my niece who is a plus size was ordered in the wrong size. The designer agreed to redo the dresses a size bigger, but the dresses were still slightly tight. For the plus size dress he was going to just redo the bottom portion of her dress to flow better...well he didn't. Because it was less than 2 weeks away for my wedding the girls watched their diets until then. One of my BM's dresses had the zipper put on wrong and we couldn't zip her up. My MOH barely fit and for the plus size dress, we had it custom made to her fit. The owner of Aria's did however sold me enough material and lining to make her dress.

My bridal party ordered 7 dresses from Aria and I think everyone found something they looked great in. The colors were really dynamic and beautiful and the order arrived on time and was correct.

The girls love these dresses! Theyre simple and very light dresses in silk shantung and are definitely something they can wear again after the wedding. There is a price break if you order 6 or more dresses. You can save on shipping charges by picking up the dresses in the showroom (if you happen to live in the LA, DC, or Boston area) and no tax if purchased from outside the 3 aforementioned areas. I had a cousin of mine from NY pay with her credit card. This saved me about $15/dress.

Gorgeous, high quality bridemaids dresses - real silk, great color selection. My mom got her dress here, too, with a great fitted silk blazer to go over it (which she has worn over and over since then).
