PASTEL PRETTY
Dress your 'maids in a confection of pastel-perfect shades. Think mint green, candy pink, baby blue, sweet lemon and loved-up lilac for a romantic and too-pretty-for-words look.

THE FASH PACK
Love-me looks for thoroughly modern maids
Mix it up. Let your 'maids choose a dress in their favourite style for a sweetly eclectic look - and a dress they'll want to wear again. The key to nailing the look is to find a unifying detail, whether it's the colour, shape or fabric.
Shady ladies. Choose a colour and dress your 'maids in different shades within the spectrum for an oh-so pretty - and on-trend - ombre effect.
Lure of lace. Carry the fabric of romance from your bridal gown to your bridesmaid dresses, whether it's head-to-toe lace or flourishes of lace detail on the skirt or bodice.
Flower power. From fresh, floral prints to floral accents - be it a crown of fresh flowers or dainty blooms tucked into the hair - petals are packing a fashion-forward punch.
Want-you back. The trend for beautiful back detail in wedding dresses is creeping into bridesmaid dress design; think chic illusion, keyhole and ruffle designs - which look beautiful with an up-do hairstyle.
