Boston Area's Best Places For Bridesmaid Dresses For Every Budget

When it comes to weddings, there's a lot of interest in what the bride will be wearing. But any wedding planner can tell you that the bridesmaid gowns are just as important. Besides the fact that they appear in almost every picture, and pull together the theme and colors of the wedding, they can also be a major expense. Having a stunning wedding isn't just about the wedding gown -- check out these places to get a bridal party look that matches your dreams for your big day.

Flair Brides + Maids
140 Newbury St., Suite 202
Boston, MA 02116
(617) 247-2828
www.flairbridesmaid.com

Flair Brides + Maids is unique as far as bridal shops go because you'll find that its bridesmaid dress selection dwarfs that of its wedding gowns. With so many bridal shops focusing solely on the big white dress, it's refreshing to find a place that really specializes in getting the bride's maids into the right gown. The shop is small but that doesn't hurt the selection, and it guarantees you the kind of intimate experience every wedding should include. Because of its dedication to making the experience as personalized and special as possible, Flair does ask for potential customers to make an appointment instead of just dropping in, so plan ahead. The shop offers some of the best prices on bridesmaid dresses you'll find in Boston.
