Solace London

Forgoing tulle and lace for a more structured silhouette, Solace London's Eliana gown offers a cool take on the pink bridesmaid dress trend – the statement off-the-shoulder cut and voluminous bell sleeves make it perfect for modern weddings. It's hardly surprising the British womenswear label is a red carpet favourite for
Zendaya, Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid.

Ghost

Ghost has been making a case for bias-cut bridesmaid dresses since the Eighties, and it's by far the one of the best affordable options for big bridal parties. There's a plethora of pink styles to choose from on the brand's site – from cowl-neck gowns to simple slips – but this Twenties-inspired tea dress is our personal favourite.

Bernadette

Bernadette's baby-pink bridesmaids dress is so understated in its beauty – it's deftly cut to create a flowing skirt that lightly sweeps the floor (or the aisle) as you walk. The delicate silk crepe de chine and spaghetti straps make this one perfect for summer weddings, and the brand's signature bow embellishment is a nice finishing touch.

Cult Gaia

The most sustainable bridesmaid dresses are the ones that can be worn after the wedding; a strapless slip dress is an excellent choice due to its simple shape and versatility. Dyed in a statement fuchsia hue, Cult Gaia’s silk style is cut on the bias and woven with a hint of stretch for added comfort. This one will look great with strappy stilettos for the ceremony, but can be easily pared down with flats post-wedding.

Norma Kamali

Norma Kamali is one of our go-to brands for luxe-but-affordable bridesmaid dresses. Expertly draped, this gown is defined by its asymmetric hemline, halterneck top and delicate sweetheart neckline. Complete the look with sleek centre-parted hair and pearl earrings.

Taller Marmo

A real change from the standard bias-cut bridesmaid offering, we love this dramatic, one-shoulder gown from Taller Marmo. Inspired by Old Hollywood glamour, the Italian-based brand has become known for its maximalist kaftan dresses loved by the likes of Salma Hayek and Lily Allen. Keep styling simple and let the ostrich feather trim do all the talking.

Toteme

Now 40% Off

By opting for lighter hues, you will have more freedom to play with intricate design details. Toteme’s powder-pink dress features a gathered halter-neck top threaded with delicate spaghetti straps that create an elegant criss-cross across the décolletage. Forgo the necklace for some understated earrings when styling.

Vince

Now 40% Off

If you find pink too girlish, try dusty-rose hues instead for a more-grown-up feel. Made from lustrous silk-satin, Vince’s halterneck dress has an elegant open back, beautiful cowl draping and a subtle high-low hemline. This shade looks particularly luxurious with gold jewellery.

Rebecca Vallance

We love how Rebecca Vallance always takes a simple silhouette and adds a playful element – like the exaggerated bow on this one-shoulder dress. This detail combined with the sweetheart neckline and baby-pink hue creates a real retro feel. Run with the debutant vibes by styling with long gloves and pearls.

Roksanda

With its bold colour palette and statement silhouettes, Roksanda is a fashion-editor favourite for occasionwear. We love the designer's modern take on the traditional Fifties prom dress with its pretty pleats, girlish ruffles and black grosgrain trimmings. Complete your wedding look with co-ordinating black accessories.
