You have enough to do! Looking high and low for unique and pretty bridesmaids dresses (that don't look like standard bridesmaids dresses) should not consume you.

In addition to designer-looks-at-a-discount sites like Bluefly.com, there are some great online sample-sale style websites. (Click here for a list of top sites and more on how they operate.) My new favorite for wedding day garb is Gilt Groupe.

Any day of the week you can find designer name dresses that even your rather fussy bridesmaids would love to wear on the big day and long after. From slinky and sultry evening gowns to sweet and sassy sundresses, members-only Gilt has you covered. (Membership is free, don't panic.)

Also seen on Gilt Groupe: bride-worthy shoes, handbags, jewelry, even dresses; luxe items for the home, and price-is-right clothing, and accessories ideal for rehearsal dinners and honeymoons.

• Sales at Gilt start at Noon ET and last 36 hours. Log on early, as items and size selection sell out quickly.
• You’ll receive an email at Noon ET on days when new sales start.
• Most apparel can be returned for store credit only. Most everything else (handbags, swimwear, lingerie, sunglasses, jewelry) is final sale.
