Summer is almost here, and if you’re still in the market for the perfect dresses for your beautiful bridesmaids, the sheer choice of styles in summery shades will leave you spoilt for choice. To help you narrow down your options and find bridesmaid dress designs that really complement your theme and colour scheme (as well as your wedding budget!), we’ve devised a rundown of our top picks for summer 2024.
Sage sensation
The Mesh Bridesmaid Wedding Maxi Dress from Next is easy, breezy and beautiful. Available in light sage green and several other colours, this summer-inspired design is certain to gain the seal of approval from any bridesmaid, whatever their style preferences or body shape.
The dress is multiway, which means it can be worn in a variety of different styles to create multiple looks from a single gown. Your bridesmaids can wear it as a shoulder look, halter neck, bandeau dress or one-shoulder design to find a finish they love, and are comfortable and confident in, all day long. The use of layered mesh also makes it ultra-flattering for any figure.
Sunshine yellow
We couldn’t include our recommendations for summer without featuring a hint of yellow. The Satin Back Crepe Column Woven Midaxi Dress from Karen Millen is the epitome of understated elegance, making it the bridesmaid dress of choice for couples looking to embrace minimalism yet celebrate colour on their special days.
The design features a flattering cowl neckline and draped back in a luxurious satin crepe finish. Unlike many other bridesmaid dresses, it swaps the usual maxi style for a beautiful ankle-grazing length that’s perfect for the warmer months.
Dusky blue
Whether you’re looking to bring the beach to your summer wedding or have fallen in love with the Grecian style, the Goddiva One Shoulder Pleated Chiffon Scarf Maxi will tick all the right boxes. Seen here in a timeless shade of dusky blue, this one-shoulder, soft chiffon design offers plenty of summer-inspired sophistication for your bridesmaids.
Pretty peach
If there is one shade that is the go-to on the wedding scene this summer, it’s peach. Here The Tie Garden explains why it’s a trending colour choice for 2024:
“This soft and delicate hue evokes a sense of warmth, comfort, and romance. Peach is perfect for spring and summer weddings, as it complements the natural beauty of the season. You can pair Peach with ivory, champagne, or taupe for a neutral and elegant look, or with navy, green, or purple for a more vibrant and contrasted look. Peach works well with floral arrangements that feature roses, peonies, or dahlias…”
Add a touch of fashionable peach to your wedding by kitting out your bridesmaids in the Six Stories Cowl Back Satin Maxi Dress from ASOS. Its round neck, cowl back, and sleeveless style offer the perfect fit while its burnt peach hue will keep your wedding party bang on trend.
Botanical beauty
Floral trends are always big news on the wedding scene come spring and summer, so embrace them with this stunning Dahlia Printed Satin Halterneck Bridesmaids Dress from Coast. Also available with angel sleeves, this romantic, nature-inspired style will be a dreamy addition to your bridal party.
