Here's an enjoyable way to help your bridesmaid dresses stay ahead of the crowd: polka dots! I mean, just look how lovely they appear in this real wedding snap by photographer Ben Harrison:

Want to copycat the appearance for your own wedding? I'm not sure who designed the petite mother of the bride dresses above (although Ivy & Aster makes similar styles), but listed here are six off-the-rack polka-dot dresses that provide similar pop.

Would you place your bridesmaids in polka dots? Which of those dresses is the favorite?
