Blush pink and pastel shades always prove to be winners.” – Cathy Keen, 14 & Sixpence “Mix-and-match styles are a great option to suit all your girls; try mixing a range of pastel tones in the same dress. How about different materials in a coordinating palette, such as sequins, chiffon, crepe and lace?” – Cathy Keen, 14 & Sixpence “We’re being asked a lot for greens, rust and truffle colours. Ivory also seems to be more popular than ever.” – Cathy Keen, 14 & Sixpence “We find a go-to look for bridesmaids is a straighter neckline with cap sleeves and a fitted skirt or floaty chiffons. Classic shades are jewel colours, which suit the majority of skin tones.” – Izzi Stockton, Izzi Stockton Bridal “We love seeing girls in our multi-way jersey dresses, as well as high-neck, halter and one-shoulder cuts. We’ve seen a rise in blush, sage and gun-metal grey, which complements the use of foliage over flowers in venue dressing.” – Izzi Stockton, Izzi Stockton Bridal “The bride squad tends to keep accessories simple. Think dainty jewellery, minimalist hair pins and vines in silver or rose gold.” – Izzi Stockton, Izzi Stockton Bridal 58
