Flower girl dresses tend to be expensive and for a just few hours it's a big outlay. Why not look to the high street chains like BhS and M&S instead? Their ranges of flower girl dresses and page boy outfits offer great choice at a fraction of the cost.
We have heard it said by bridesmaids-to-be that although they relish the prospect of 'being' a bridesmaid - they dread the prospect of 'looking like' one! Bridesmaids' dresses may have developed a bad name over the years, but thankfully there are some really beatiful gowns around now - many in styles that can be worn again to other functions. The secret is to shop around.
Never feel as though you have to buy your bridesmaids' dresses in the same shop as your wedding dress. Many bridal parties buy from several different shops.
With the right stoles and shrug, a bridesmaid can look elegant and demure for the church and reveal more of an evening look at the reception.
