What to look for in bridal party robes

You’ll want your girls to feel beautiful and comfortable in their getting ready robes so it's important to find a style that's inclusive of all sizes and body types. Keep in mind that some bridesmaids might feel more comfortable in longer-style robes. It's also important to take a robe's fabric into consideration as some fabrics tend to be more see-through than others.

When it comes to choosing colors and patterns, it's helpful to draw inspiration from your wedding theme and color palette and to think about how a certain style will look in photos. If you're looking to add an extra special touch to your getting ready robes, consider choosing brands and shops that offer monogramming.

FAQs

Who buys the bridal party robes?

Typically, the bride will purchase robes for her bridesmaids. Not only will your bridesmaids appreciate them while getting ready, but it's also a nice way to thank your bridal party. If buying robes for your whole bridal party isn't within your budget, you should check with your bridesmaids to make sure they feel comfortable covering the cost.

What can bridesmaids wear instead of robes?

From shirt and shorts sets to rompers and casual dresses, there are many alternatives to the traditional getting ready robe.

How can I customize my bridal party robes?

"We always suggest customizing robes with your bridal squad's names rather than words like “bridesmaid” so your party can enjoy their robe even after your wedding. If you want to be more creative, we love the idea of customizing the robes with cute nicknames, initials or Instagram handles, too," says Berndt.

Can I buy bridal party robes in bulk?

Yes! In fact, it's usually more cost-effective to buy in bulk.
