Metallic Bridesmaids Dresses: Into It or Over It?

Silver, gold, sequined, and beaded all over - metallic bridesmaids dresses have been huge for the last few years! (Come on - you know that one Adrianna Papell dress I'm talking about!) While it's a well documented fact that I'm personally sequin obsessed, even I can admit that these bridesmaids dresses definitely do not fall in the "you can totally wear this again" category. Smiley shame

What's your take on sparkly and metallic bridesmaids dresses? Are you into it or over it ?

    Both? Into it because I have never been to a wedding where they wore them...thought I am going to one this fall...but also over it because I's tired of seeing it on Pinterest!

    I'm totally crushing on the sequins! My girls will be wearing rose gold and I am so excited!

    Into it! I think they look beautiful for almost any season, and elegant. When it boils down to it, whatever the BMs are most comfortable in wins out.

    I like beading, but I'm not into the sequins. One of my BM's tried one on and the sequins wound up all over the floor and she said her armpits were killing her. I think the dresses in the first image could be worn again at a Gatsby party or something, but not the dresses in the 2nd pic.

    I LOVE sparkles, but in my opinion I almost think it’s overkill for a wedding! But I guess to each their own Smiley winking

    I wanted my bridesmaids to wear these type of dresses but ended up going another route because they were so expensive. Still love the look tho!

    I like them in year 2018 however I have a suspicious feeling they’ll end up with the same fate as many BM dresses of the 800s/90s. My mom, my friends moms and my aunts wedding photos all have extremely similar taffeta BM dresses in some shade of pink with puffy sleeves. While this looks hilarious to me it was in style at the time!

    I think it’s cute if there are 1 or 2 have it. Itll show some personality. But definitely over ALL bridesmaids wearing it.

    My bridesmaids are doing mismatched dressed and I think 3 our of the 5 dresses have sequins detail. I actually haven’t seen it all together in person but I think it will look awesome! I think it’s not an overkill cause it’s just in small doses instead of the whole dress and it’s not all of them.

    I think they're pretty but look uncomfortable and scratchy

    I love metallic dresses. I think they can look very distinguished.
