Blue note

Golden girls
One way to keep make your bridesmaids look like a team is to stick to one colour and let them vary the design to suit their style. These gold gowns are from the new Kelsey Rose collection. kelseyrose.co.uk
Swing out
Buttermilk shades can be so sophisticated. This plain swing top and skirt by LA-based designer Monique Lhuillier is also offered in darker colours. It’s available at the London bridesmaid store of Les Trois Soeurs. lestroissoeurs.co.uk
Pure Hollywood
This flattering plunge neck Anya gown from Damsel in a Dress is pure Hollywood starlet – just the thing to enable your bridesmaids to play a luminous supporting role. damselinadress.co.uk
Emerald style
Bridesmaid gowns can become super sophisticated if you opt for richer and jewel tones – also the perfect choice for winter and evening weddings. We love the wide straps and sweetheart line of this very grown-up emerald green dress, part of the latest Kelsey Rose collection. kelseyrose.co.uk
Jewel tones
Black is perfect for a cocktail-style celebration, especially if you add jewel accents. This Adrianna Papell sheath dress features a dramatic embellished neckline. Stockists include John Lewis. johnlewis.com
Short & sassy
Shorter bridesmaid gowns need to have star quality to make them feel dressy enough for a wedding and this silver mini with flattering v-neck and metallic belt is spot on for style. It’s from the White by Vera Wang collection and is available in other colours in the same design. davidsbridal.co.uk
Custom wrapped
Two Birds’ classic ballgown is ideal if you have a bevy of picky bridesmaids, because it can be wrapped in 15 different ways. We love the fact that the range includes muted and neutral shades – such as this putty colourway – alongside more traditional pales. Stockists include The Wedding Club. theweddingclub.co.uk
