Bridesmaids

Now that the trend of dressing your bridesmaids as Little Bo Peep has passed, your best pals will be hoping that you have a stylish posh frock in mind for them.

More and more brides are choosing cocktail dresses for their bridesmaids, which not only look far more attractive than pale peach puffed-sleeved layered numbers, but can also be worn again for parties or formal dinners.

Major department stores including John Lewis, Debenhams and Beaties all have a great choice of evening wear suitable for bridesmaids’ attire. Coast, Wallis, Monsoon and Principals also offer wonderful possibilities.

More traditional bridesmaids dresses are thankfully much more sophisticated nowadays. Many brides choose bodices and skirts for their attendants to match their own dresses, and a simple satin shift dress is still a popular option.

For younger attendants and flowergirls, check out BHS, M & S and Monsoon amongst the high street stores for some gorgeous dresses and accesories.
