Bridesmaids’ dresses have gotten a bad reputation over the years but the days of ruffled, sequined, and covered in bows are well and truly over.
Bright-pink satin tents have been replaced with chic alternatives that can be worn on more than one glamourous occasion.
Dressing bridesmaids for the big day has become easier than ever with all the great options that are currently on the high street - and it doesn’t have to blow the wedding budget either.
We’ve rounded up some of the best occasion dresses currently on the market and they best bit is they all come in under €100.
One of the biggest trends for bridesmaids this year is the halterneck style.
The style’s popularity of course stems of Meghan Markle and that incredible Stella McCartney dress she wore to her reception last year.
Not only did it look incredible on her, it’s also a very flattering style on most figures.
We love Zara’s pink midi dresses (€49.95, perfect for those who are shunning traditional nuptials).
Feeling brave? Floral bridesmaid dresses are fantastic for adding colour to your bridal party, so they’re a big hit with maximalist and boho brides.
Check out Boohoo’s floral off the shoulder dress, a steal at just €26.
For sparkle that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, look to Asos’ bridesmaid dresses and evening gowns.
They are all super affordable, such as the TFNC embellished back bridesmaid dress, €38.71.
Topshop’s silk slip dressess are a cult favourite, we love the green lace insert dress (€89) which reminds us of Keira Knightley’s jaw-dropping fashion moment in Atonement.
Meanwhile, timeless colours like luxe navy blue, mink and pale pink are a safe bet when it comes big celebrations and they allow a lot of creativity for the rest of the ceremony.
Little Mistress’ one shoulder maxi dress (€62) is a classic option that won’t look out of date in wedding photos in years to come.
