It’s almost autumn wardrobe time again and we’re a little bit excited about swapping our summer gear for autumn cosies (as much as we love our flip-flops and Kimono’s, we’ve had our fill of neon for now). As always with winter, the darker end of the colour wheel has its moment – you can look forward to gorgeous burgundies, emerald greens, plums and lots of navy (such a flattering shade – sure to be a hit with maids and one they’ll be able to root out from the back of the closet time and time again) but for those that are partial to the lighter side of the colour spectrum, don’t fret – there are lots of hot pink gúna’s about at the minute too – we’re particularly fond of this pretty frock from Ted Baker with gorgeous bow detail.
Floral prints will also continue to hang about (The Reformation have some gorgeous floral prints in their bridesmaid collection perfect for boho maids) and pastel loving bridesmaids can rejoice because there are sure to be lots pretty powdery hues on rails over the coming weeks too (check out the dreamy lilac bridesmaid dress from McElhinneys below) as it’s a big trend for autumn/winter 2014.
There are lots of fabulous dresses still to make their way in store (in particular the sparkly kind – we.cannot.wait) but for those as excited as us about all things autumn, here’s our pick of some of the best bridesmaid dresses in stores and online right now…
