New bridesmaid dresses from Amanda Wyatt

When bridal designer Amanda Wyatt launched a new bridesmaids range late 2015, we knew it was nothing short of fabulous. Just like her bridal designs and accessories -- see the Promises of Love collection here -- the bridesmaids capsule illustrates Wyatt's passion for quality and style. 

The bridesmaid gowns are available in over 40 colour shades and an array of styles and silhouettes -- from short to long, strapless, one-shoulder neck and more. With Amanda Wyatt's collection, you can easily find the right style to match your wedding dress while also giving your girls the chance to express their individuality. 

         

Indeed, your bridesmaids will look glamorous in photos and feel comfortable on the day. The choice of fabrics ranges from chiffon to satin and lace, and each style spans from sorbet pastels to bright pops of colour.   

We simply had to share with you these beautiful photos to inspire your wedding planning. Don't the flower girls's dresses look adorable!

Fashion Friday: Fifties-inspired

For once we're turning today's Fashion Friday from focusing on wedding guests to members of the wedding party - namely, bridesmaids.

In recent years we've seen trends for bridesmaids' dresses branch out into vintage, eclectic, mixed-colours, casual, trousers-and-shirts, and just about everything non-traditional. While there's much to be said for the non-traditional, there's also a lot to be said for a throwback to a simple, flattering, A-line dress cut (which, as a bonus, still hearkens of 'vintage' for those of you still wed to that trend). An additional benefit of the A-line cut is that its simplicity allows you to play more with colour and patterns without causing too much distraction for the eye.

To convince you, we've rounded up four of our favourite A-line, fifties-inspired gowns for the modern bridesmaid. Enjoy!
