Our pick of bridesmaid gowns will ensure your dream team are perfectly turned out
Bridesmaid gowns come in a huge variety of styles right now, from classic full-length to high-low hemlines, low backs and split front designs. Mix and match remains a key trend for the bridal pack – especially useful if your bridesmaids are paying for their own gowns. We love the soft neutrals and pastels, but a bolder hue – from rich royal blue to claret and coffee can be very effective, especially for an autumn or day-to-evening wedding. Here’s our pick of seven glorious bridesmaid styles.
1. Ruffle up
Maids to Measure’s Amie gown has flattering ruffled sleeves and a v-cut neckline with buttoned bodice and low back with ribbon tie. Shown here in a soft and shade of blossom pink, it’s easy to mix and match with other gowns in the collection. maidstomeasure.com
