Dresses Your Bridesmaids Will Wear More Than Once

Modern Wedding Posted: December 11, 2018

Style Up Your Squad!

For modern maids, choose a style that’s individual, imaginative and oh-so-inspired. Your girl gang will thank you for these über-glam gowns.

The Little White Dress

Transcend tradition and bedeck your besties in a little bit of lust-worthy white lace.

Give your bride tribe a fashion-forward vibe in chic all-over white lace. This look goes beyond bridal style borders to suit celebrations from luxe to boho. Opt for a silhouette and style that complements your gown. High-necked designs that hit just on or below the knee are ideal for sophisticated soirées, whereas more daring cut-out and sheer styles are a sublime choice for garden, beach and boho weddings. Pair with nude heels and tousled tresses for a red carpet-worthy wedding squad.

Vacay Inspired

Start your honeymoon early with these hip and haute holiday-inspired looks.

Once only the domain of those lucky few who happened to be on vacation, floral prints, nautical inspired stripes and vibrant colours are back on the maid radar, as brides seek out unique and fresh fashions for their fave femmes. Imbue your inner circle with a relaxed, recreational aesthetic with hi-lo hems, plunging necklines and spirited, sunny shades. This look works particularly well for destination weddings, and brings a cheery, festive vibe to garden, country and beach weddings. Aim for subtle variations on similar patterns, prints and colour palettes for a softer alternative.

Legs & Mix and Match

Make a stylish statement with these contemporary choices destined to be worn again (AND AGAIN!).

Riding high on a wave of bridal separates, bridesmaids’ styles are also rocking mix and match-style combos in the one dress, for a look that’s modern and memorable. Ideal for those struggling to choose just one colour, or hunting for a more contemporary option, pair fashion-forward tops with flirty skirts designed to show off perfect pins.

Jewel Tones

Indulge in a little stone worship with gem-inspired hues that allow your squad to shine.

Primp your posse in pretty, precious shades derived from the beauty of the earth. Think amethyst, garnet, sapphire and onyx. Add interest by mixing up the styles but keeping the colour consistent. Shine on!
