And the bridesmaids wore.....

Bridesmaid dresses

So you’ve picked your best friends and/or family members to be a part of your special day but what to dress them in?

You could pick a nod to the 1980’s style of satin meringue dress but that would be mean - and of course there is always the chance that they might return the ‘favour’ when they get married!

I like the idea of choosing a dress that they might wear again. I know all my bridesmaids wore theirs at leat once more. I should add that this was the second dress that I chose for them - a below the knee, black strapless number. The first dresses were full length, burgundy, very bridesmaid looking and probably wouldn’t be worn again (that wasn’t the reason I changed my mind though!).

I’m not one to follow trends (see my wardrobe for details) but looking back over my past weddings pastels seem to be the most popular - particularly in shades of blue.

If you are currently trying to pick out bridesmaid dresses here are some of my favourites to give you a bit of inspiration…
