Nordstrom's Wedding Shop

Nordstrom is trying to market more into the wedding industry like J.Crew. Obviously, J.Crew has been overwhelmingly successful in that area, and the designs of their wedding gowns & bridesmaid dresses are the key reason for it. I think Nordstrom needs a little more work in improving in that department based on the gowns that I have seen on their site, and they can improve on their website's organization and functionality, too. Don't get me wrong, Nordstrom has some pretty dresses, but their style & selection in the bridal gowns seem limited in good designs.

These are a few of the best ones that I found for bridal dresses. They are definitely more casual and destination-beach wedding gowns vs. church-like, or it could be someone's second wedding dress for reception time & dancing. Also, the price isn't bad either; most of these are all around $300. They do have some great detailed, halter designed gowns.

For bridesmaid dresses, or just a cocktail dress to a wedding, Nordstrom does have a good variety of style and colors for a spring & summer wedding. However, there is always room for improvement. The could certainly expand their color palette in each dress like J.Crew does so it's easy for a bride to customize her wedding party colors. Below are a few of my fave dresses and color collections that I think are just lovely.
