I plan on having four bridesmaids for my wedding but they are all "busty" and I want them to look nice for the wedding, what are some flattering styles of dresses that will look nice on them? I don't want anything real clingy because a couple of them are "hippy" also. And where can I find them/what are some websites I can look at? Has anyone else had this happen to them?

And no I am not a bridezilla. It's just that I'm small on top (and everywhere else, but not perfect) and I don't want them to be uncomfortable.

Something with a more square neckline instead of a v neck line will take away from the bustyness. And peasant dress style is also very flattering for both the bust and the hips. It's the type of dress that sinches in just below the pust line and flairs out slightly from there. If you look at costumes of the old royal families you'll see what I mean. A dress this style with a small cap sleeve, perhaps a dropped shawl back would be magnificent. Good luck.

Whatever you do, don't try to cover them up. That will look awful, and make them look huge. A square line or v-neck would look nice. Empire waist dresses would also hide the hippyness. Go to David's bridal without them, and look for ideas. The sales people there are great, and can give you some ideas. I'm sure they have a web site you can look at. Good luck.

A-line dresses that are modest up top (cleavage coverage, wide shoulder straps so they can wear a real bra, no exposed backs because-- again-- they will have to wear a real bra) will be great on all of them.
Nothing revealing, nothing spaghetti straps or strapless.
Alfred Angelo, Watters and Watters, and David's Bridal all have a bunch of BM dresses that fit this description.

dresses with a thicker strap but crisscrosses at the bust, empire waist line and a aline skirt. The thicker straps with the cross over front will keep them in place...try Jim Heljm Occasions, nice dresses

Your thought of the bridesmaids & groomsmen outfits is a great thank you to maintain money & time. besides the shown fact that, it might desire to be extra inexpensive for the boys to lease tuxes. My groomsmen's tuxes have been basically $38 each. first element to do is detect a church or officient to habit the ceremony. in case you do no longer marry in a church, an low-priced place to get married may well be a interior of reach park. lease some chairs, a sprint tulle, and viola, you have a ceremony. in case you prefer to have a reception, you're probable going to have a complicated time looking a hall so quickly. that is needed to have a Friday, Sunday, or weekday wedding ceremony to discover some thing open. If no longer, you could continually have the reception at a park besides or at someones domicile. you could lease a white tent, tables, chairs, and have a cocktail kind reception. Serve hor'derves and one kind of drink (try some thing specific like a fruity martini and provide it a marriage call like "Blushing Bride"). to rouse a romantic feeling, you should use a great number of candles which may well be offered on line extraordinarily inexpensive. rather of a general cake, you could save money by utilising having pies, cheesecakes, cupcakes, or very nearly something you like. you additionally could make something look specific with flora, icing, and a cake topper! to maintain money on flora, flow to a wholesaler or to a save like Costco and order your flora there. that's a competent thought to maintain the flora undemanding (basically a million or 2 types) so as that bouquets may well be prepare without postpone and incredibly. on your dress, verify on line for some attractive, non-classic, outfits which could are available white. in case you like extra classic, the quickest thank you to get a dress is to purchase off the rack. you could attempt to discover a dress as quickly as attainable because it takes some month for some adjustments in the event that they are needed. invites are some thing which you will could pay a sprint extra for. I did my invites myself and saved a ton of money, besides the shown fact that it took a protracted time to do each little thing. I reccommend performing some looking on line for invites and calling to confirm how quickly they are able to be executed. sturdy success and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

A high neckline would be the best ,or a sweet heart neckline ,they don't have to wear identical dresses, try involving them in their own dress design,they know what suits them.Sketch out some Ideas and choose the best design.Again you could vary each one according to their own tastes .

honestly, & despite what you would think, a strapless is the way to go. get a good quality strapless dress with an a-line bottom and you'll be absolutely amazed! the eye goes more to the face and neck. go try a bunch on and make them try on the strapless (and do not go two-piece). you'll wind up picking them...
Many congratulations & good luck!

No strapless, no little spaghetti straps, no cap sleeves. Something with a square or sweetheart neckline. Dropped waist might be a good idea.

a halter could be nice in a flowing chiffon. have it 'flare' at the hips and cinch more at the waist. I was in a wedding with mostly small girls and two bigger girls. These dresses looked great on them.
