Episode 29: Disrupting the Expensive Bridesmaid Dress Tradition

Listen to Episode #29: Disrupting the Expensive Bridesmaid Dress Tradition

Why are Bridesmaids Dresses so Expensive? Don’t force your besties to take part in this pricey tradition. Seek a savvy alternative like Birdy Grey!

Today we are disrupting the expensive bridesmaid dress tradition. Somewhere along the line, it became a universally accepted truth that being asked to be a bridesmaid for a friend’s wedding meant dropping a ton of money on a dress you’d never wear again, AND on all of the pre-wedding activities too.

Why did we all become obsessed with our friends being clones to get some pretty pictures? And more importantly, why did achieving this look get so expensive? With us to discuss how to do it the savvy way is Grace Lee, founder & CEO of Birdy Grey.

About Grace Lee of Birdy Grey:

Grace Lee is the founder & CEO of Birdy Grey, a direct-to-consumer bridal brand on a mission to change the way women shop for their weddings. A longtime veteran in fashion and beauty, Grace began her career at InStyle Magazine as a writer & reporter. She has also worked for Kate Spade, Kate Somerville and Stila Cosmetics, where she managed copy, social media, and digital content, helping bring an editorial voice to each brand.

Having been a bridesmaid six times herself, she personally knew how fun (but damn expensive) being a bridesmaid could be. She saw an opportunity for aspirational bridesmaid dresses at affordable prices, and so Birdy Grey was born. Based in Los Angeles, Grace combines her expertise in fashion with her love for digital storytelling and all-things bridal to make Birdy Grey the one of fastest-growing bridal brands today.
