Looking for a beautiful yet practical gift for your bridesmaids, or for yourself? Something that can be used and enjoyed not only on your wedding day, but also for days afterwards? Robes are a great idea! Perfect for the morning of hair and makeup, but then you can enjoy using for the days and years that follow.

We’ve seen all types of robes, from the fuzzy with custom monograms to silky satin… and with the silky satin we’ve seen some “wardrobe malfunctions”!

Here’s are great robes to check out! Doie Lounge – an eco-luxe loungewear company specializing in robes for brides and bridesmaids!
Beautiful and soft, as well as customizable for your wedding! (And they stay tied- no accidental peep shows here!)

Details about these lovely robes:

~ Fits most: available in sizes X-small to X-large; looks stunning on both short and tall frames

~ Functional and stylish: incredibly soft bamboo jersey with patterned silk, for fun pops of color

~ Stays put: between the permanently attached outer silk tie and an interior tie, it won’t come off unexpectedly

~ Eco-friendly: the fabrics are natural and sustainable and each robe has been produced locally, just a few miles from headquarters in Los Angeles

Doie Lounge founder and robe designer, Sara Kirsner, would love to hear from you! sara@doielounge.com  As a 12-time bridesmaid, she has an insiders view on weddings.
“I LOVE working with the brides to come up with exactly what they want. I can answer size/color questions and help them come up with something that looks visually beautiful.”

~ You can always ask if there are other robes available that are not on the site. There may be other colors/prints that can be done that are not shown.

~ Also, discounts for buying 3 or more (15% off 3 or more, 25% off 5 or more, 35% off of 8 or more)!

 Be sure to check out the site for more robe designs!

Bride and grooms often want their best friends (the furry ones!) to be a part of their wedding. And we LOVE having them be a special part in the ceremony. Alicia & Joey with their wedding at Seven-Degrees in Laguna Beach had their doggie walk down the aisle, as did Alice & Charlton at the Richard Nixon Library in Yorba Linda (a special exception was made for them!). And what better way to dress up your furry friends for such a special occasion than with BOWTIES!
