When bridesmaids look stylish — in dresses they absolutely love — playing an important role during your big day is an experience they will relish. From short and flirty to full length and dramatic, these ten beautiful bridesmaids’ dresses suit a range of tastes, budgets and contemporary colour schemes.

DessyThis simple and beautiful bandeau cocktail-style dress is made from traditional Chinese shantung silk and is also available in full length. The vivid fuchsia shade would look great in late summer — particularly on a marquee dance floor.

Dessy Collection style 2814 in Tutti Frutti, £275

Alfred SungCheryl Cole and Dannii Minogue have made asymmetric dresses one of the hottest shapes around. This short and sweet one-shoulder dress is made from peau de soie, a silky fabric with enough weight to give a fabulously fashionable shape.

Alfred Sung style D462 in Daffodil, £150

Lela RoseThis gorgeous, strapless, full-length dress is created from gently flowing crinkle chiffon, with a matching rose detail on the draped bodice. Elegant, flattering and graceful, it is particularly well suited to fashion conscious bridesmaids in their 30s or over.

Lela Rose style LX148 in Oasis, £310

Cynthia RowleyA chic knee-length cut dress, featuring a figure-enhancing pencil skirt that will make your bridesmaid feel like a million dollars. It also has a satin ribbon detail, which comes in a fantastic range of 57 colours, so you can personalise the dress according to your colour scheme.

Cynthia Rowley style 8008, £165

Ronald JoyceDresses by Ronald Joyce are famously sexy and sophisticated, and this design is no exception. Your maids will make a dramatic impact in the beaded bodice and swirling skirt — and the timeless style will be a talking point if they wear it as an evening dress after your wedding.
