I love seeing someone incorporate unique elements of style into their wedding fashions. From quirky cummerbunds, to coloured bridal shoes it is a sign that the bride has a strong sense of her own tastes.
Even better is when she extends the same mentality to her bridesmaids and allows them to wear different gown to match their unique shapes, styles and skin tones. With so many beautiful bridesmaid dresses available these days, there is really no reason why each bridesmaid can’t wear a different gown while still coordinating with the overall look of the wedding party.
However, there are still a few key things to keep in mind to avoid your bridesmaids looking like a random assortment of your girlfriends who happen to have followed you down the aisle…

Who said brown and black don’t mix? If you are looking for a sophisticated, stylish and flattering combination, black looks daring when paired up with shades of beige, sand and champagne.
To play it safe, add a touch of this season’s hot metallic bronzes and golds in accessories such as a belt, shoes or throw. Or add plenty of layered bracelets such as this set from Dorothy Perkins.
Dresses such as this one from Whistles.co.uk look modern and striking with just a touch of gold.
And if you are as in love with the glittering, beachy browns in this season, then we leave you with this beautiful dress from Yoox. Ideal for an unconventional bridesmaid choice, or for taking on your honeymoon.
As every bride-to-be knows, the outfits are everything! The wedding dress is arguably the most important dress she will ever wear, not to mention the most expensive! Many brides set a high budget for their dress in the hopes of finding the perfect dress, but that can compromise their budget for the bridesmaids gowns.
They can’t be decked out in just anything! They have to set the scene before the bride arrives, to compliment her yet still avoid outshining her. How do you achieve this without mega bucks? Well, anything is possible with a bit of imagination and research.

It used to be that being a bridesmaid meant you were doomed to wear the same ghastly gown. I’m thinking pouffy sleeves and pink chiffon tied up with bows and ribbons. Today’s bridesmaids have it easy. There are a variety of elegant choices out there that will keep the
bride happy and her maids even happier with dresses that are complimentary and not so matchy-matchy.
If you are on the fence about whether to have all of your bridesmaids wear the same bridesmaid dress styles and colors, or let them each wear a different gown consider these things:

Every girl likes to look good no matter what size or shape. But sometimes we need a little help in that area. I know I do!
Have you ever wondered whether certain trends would flatter your figure or make you look huge? Or whether that new yellow hue would match your skin tone or make you look like a girl in a yellow banana suit? Well worry no further because I just discovered an amazing new website that helps you answer all your style questions and you won’t believe the price their charging for having an online personal stylist.

If you have been invited to a summer wedding this year, your thoughts may now be turning to what to wear!
If you are going to be hunting the high street for a new outfit then Dorothy Perkins has some gorgeous dresses to choose from in bright, summery colours, with many for £40 or under, if your trying to watch the pennies. (more…)
Brides who choose black and white for their theme are the kindest fashionistas around. After all, what bridesmaid won’t be able to wear a little black dress again? Not to mention the fact that the dress will be slimming, and black dresses are available in just about every size and style imaginable to suit any shape and budget.
But speaking of budget, I think this recent deal is hard to beat.
This simple Little Black Dress is modern and stylish, with the Greek draping and empire waist which is so popular this year, along with the fashionable bubble hem.
The best part is that it is currently on offer for under $20! At that price the dress is practically disposable, but I’m sure that bridesmaids will be hanging on to this sexy, comfortable number for clubbing, pubbing and partying.

I am researching and writing about Vintage this week and came across this beautiful skirt/ dress / wrap.
I have always been more than a little jealous of Bollywood stars who get to dress in sumptous silks, sparkling gold beading and be draped in jewellery from head to toe with us boring old Brits are stuck with jeans.
Not only does this dress make great summer wear, but it is supporting recycling.
