Wedding Flip Flops
You'll flip for Dessy's new wedding flip flops!
Flip Flops in Bridesmaid Colors! Choose white for bridal flip flops or custom colors for the bridesmaids for a perfect match with your wedding theme. Ideal for beach weddings, they'll be fun at your bachelorette party or the wedding dance, too.
Don't limit your thinking to the wedding. Fashion savvy gals will want a pair to match every swimsuit they own. The flip flops will pack small in your beach bag to protect tender feet from hot sand and look adorable every step of the way. Order a matching fabric flower for your beach hat while you're at it!
The flip flops come in a beautifully made chiffon pouch with a matching satin drawstring. It's a delightful extra touch, and the pouch is so elegant that mine will likely do duty as a lingerie bag when I travel.
The flip flops have nonslip rubber soles and are made with Dessy's own matte satin in a rainbow of colors to match bridesmaid colors by Dessy, After Six and Alfred Sung. They'll make fun bridesmaid gifts, especially if you pair them with Dessy's matching satin totebags.
Note that you'll need to think ahead and order early. The flip flops are made to order in the custom colors you specify so you'll need to plan on eight to ten weeks for delivery.

Belt Buckles for Bridesmaids’ Dresses
Any girl worth her Cosmo subscription knows that belted dresses are all the rage. Indeed, formerly for the "Don't Mess With Texas" set only, big spangly belt buckles are now the it-accessory for every fashionista. In the same way a patent leather belt spices up a floral sundress, a sparkly honkin' belt buckle is just the thing to spice up sweet pastel bridesmaids’ dresses. Loop a grosgrain ribbon through the buckle and you’ve got yourself a thoroughly modern bridesmaids’ dress motif. And since these buckles aren’t exactly cheap, they make great bridesmaids’ gifts. For a prime example of how to carry off this hot look, check out this After Six bridesmaids’ dress.

Cami Set Makes Lovely Wedding Shower Gift
Wedding showers can be dreadfully tasteless these days. After viewing all those edible undies, who really has the stomach to scarf down one thousand watercress and cucumber tea sandwiches? Of course the taste whose matters most is the bride’s. If you’ve got a pal who’s less Victoria’s Secret and a little more, uh, Victorian, why not keep the party palatable with this great gift: a sweet but saucy cotton cami set with floral boxers and jaunty red bow. And if the lack of latex rubs you the wrong way, think of it like this: respecting the bride now means good karma when it comes to the important things- bridesmaids’ dresses and bridesmaids’ gifts, that is!

Heavenly Bridesmaid Dresses
Bridesmaids Dresses Get Glowy
The Golden Girls got nothin’ on the new hot color for bridesmaids' dresses. Due to the rise of pink and ivory wedding dresses, gorgeous gold is quickly becoming the complementary bridesmaid gown color of choice. We love this ethereal color for its glamourous connotations, and for the way it can make even the most devilish bridesmaid look positively angelic. Check out Dessy’s heavenly frocks: Style 2044 or 2030 in lemon, or 2029 in buttercup for a gold rush of your own.

Punchy for Ponchos
I've always wondered what to do with bare shoulders while I stand outside the church/synagogue/courthouse, cursing the bride and groom, and freezing. These ponchos may not do much to keep you warm, but at least they'll hide the goosebumps. Plus they'll match your dress, if you buy one from Dessy.

Dressing the Groom
OK, who here trusts their husband-to-be to get his own tuxedo? Raise your hands? Yeah, that's what I thought.
After Six has a great selection of tuxes. And they just came out with some new stuff. Have a look - their tuxedos look pretty good to me, and you can keep your betrothed out of trouble, too.
