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 ?

    Into it! My theme is 1920's inspired and those Adrianna Papell in particular fit right in without making it into a complete costume party Smiley smile I'm still looking but I'm definitely into this look.

    Into it - buttttt sequin anything can be scratchy and actually hurt! Glittery dresses often shed a lot of glitter. I would have to see the dresses in person to make sure they don't do either, but a little extra sparkle is my favorite!

    I'm into it --- I told my two BMs to choose a blush or champagne (matte or metallic), long dress from rent the runway. I love how mismatched can look so, well, composed!


    I'm secretly hoping they both choose some shimmer!

    Over it. I don't hate it, It's just not for me. Although It's pleasing to look at, i can only imagine how uncomfortable that would be to wear.

    I love it! It doesn’t fit with our wedding, but have seen some beautiful photos where it really works!

    Into it! I love the glitz of the sequin dresses. Even though I did not go with this look, I still enjoy seeing it done right.

    I think it’s pretty but having a summer wedding isn’t ideal conditions for them. They’re super heavy and can be scratchy so we passed on them.

    Hm. Neither.

    It works for some people & doesn't work for others.

    it's hit & miss but i'd have to say... i'm over it

    These photos look more like prom to me. To each their own though and I don't know the style or decor of their weddings.

    I could care less. I opted out of having a bridal party.

    Definitely over it. If this is your thing, more power to you! Personally, I hate sparkly anything.

    Love it. However not all the dress cuts are flattering on all body types.
