Our pick of perfect gowns for bridesmaids will ensure your dream team feel well dressed for the occasion
Bridesmaids are spoiled for choice with our pick of 2019 gowns. Whether you opt for classic pastels or on-trend metallics and greys – or ring the changes with some of the elegant patterned options – there’s a look to suit the occasion. Most designers offer different gown styles in the same colourway, which is always useful if you have bridesmaids of different heights and figures. Alternatively, you could opt for the same gown design but in a complementary colour. This can be especially effective if you have bridesmaids who are taller than you, or you have a large bevvy of attendants, since it helps to ensure that the effect in group photos isn’t so overwhelming that bride and groom disappear from view.
Layered luxe – Katya Katya London
Katya Katya London’s bridesmaid collection is perfect for sophisticated attendants. This Paige gown in on-trend smoky grey consists of a slip gown with fine gauzy overlayer. What we love most is that the slip gown can easily be worn for future red-carpet events, dressed with a wrap or evening coat. katyakatya.co.uk
