Bridesmaid Dresses You’ll Wear Forever

Gone are the days of brides forcing their “I do” crew into a dress regardless of their fashion sense or body type, making them spend a lot of money on something that was doomed to end at the back of a wardrobe.

Instead, more and more people are having real and open discussions with their entourage to find the perfect style that not only flatters them, but can also be re-worn after the big day.

So, we asked our Senior Buyer - and bride to be - Becky Harding for her favourite ensembles you can wear on many occasions to come, by simply adding the right accessories to completely revamp the look. Read on and get inspired by her expert selection.

Festive sequins

"Brides planning a formal affair will find these glamorous sequin dresses alluring while keeping in-theme with their sophisticated aesthetic. These styles are also perfect for any upscale Christmas gala, NYE party or Black-Tie event. Wear them with a faux-fur stole and statement jewellery in matching tones."

Into the garden

"Nothing says romance like flowers, and our Dahlia printed styles are no exception. Brides will covet these dresses for boho-inspired settings, while bridesmaids can wear them after for a garden party, as they would look lovely with a pair of summery sandals and sunglasses."

Off to the races

"These versatile, embroidered dresses are perfect for relaxed celebrations and contemporary city weddings. Bridesmaids can rework them later for the races or the regatta, as they are midi length. Simply add a fascinator and a pair of heels."
