Now that lockdown restrictions have eased and socialising indoors is at long last allowed, it also means weddings are back on. While you can’t quite have the huge guest list you originally had planned, for the next few weeks you can have up to 30 people attend, before total freedom (fingers crossed!) on 21 June onwards.
If you’ve recently got engaged or are well into the planning process, one important task to tick off the to-do list is kitting out your bridal party, which is why we’ve found the best, most unique bridesmaid dresses if you’re shopping for something a little bit different.
These are the 20 most beautiful (and flattering!) long-sleeve wedding dresses to buy now
When planning your bridesmaid’s looks, it can be easy to enforce rules on yourself that one type of dress is your only choice, typically maxi-length, chiffon and Grecian inspired. But don’t forget it’s *your* big day, and there’s plenty of stunning options to choose from that will still show off your individuality and satisfy your closest loved ones who will be planning your hen-do and helping your big day run smoothly.
To give you a helping hand, we’ve curated a shopping edit of our favourite styles that cater to different budgets and tastes, from shops including ASOS, Net-A-Porter, Selfridges and even Marks and Spencer.
All of these wedding dresses cost less than £1,000 (but you’d definitely never know)
For something short, sweet and colourful, this Poplin Mini Dress from Anthropologie is bold, bright and eye-catching, or if you wanted a figure-hugging maxi dress this Tie Back Stretch-Crepe Maxi Dress from Whistles ticks all our boxes. But if you’re keen to embrace frills, ruffles, pastels and pleats, then look no further than this Self-Portrait Tiered Floral-Print Midi Dress.
