Let’s face it, the ‘getting ready’ part of a wedding is as big of a deal as the saying of the vows (IMO), and the best bridesmaid robes and bridal robes are integral to that process.
Whether it’s purely for the pictures you’ll inevitably post on the ‘gram, or you just want your wedding party to feel special throughout every moment, some matching robes are the way to do it. Picture it: Dressing gowns on, music blaring, bubbles flowing and giggles a-plenty during the irreplaceable few hours before anyone says “I do”. A vibe.
Etsy boasts a whole range of bridal party robes – from personalisations and lengths to colours and prints that your entire party will love – and you get to support a small business, win-win. We’ve seen styles with feathered sleeves as well as embellishments, plus they come in a great variety of sizes (hello inclusivity, big brands take note!) and can be made to match your exact colour theme/bridesmaid dresses.
If, however, you’re after something you can all wear long after the big day, or even something slightly less bridal-y, then nightwear and lingerie brands are also great places to look. Olivia Von Halle’s Mimi satin-silk robe, finished with blush piping, is a timeless investment piece for any bride, while the sky-hued Bridesmaid-embroidered number from Loungeable is an affordable option for your besties and it also ticks off the ‘something blue’ category.
