Looking for some gorgeous gowns for your best girls? The 2023 high street is awash with dreamy wedding dresses that your bridesmaids and your wedding budget will love.
Finding the perfect bridesmaid dresses can be harder than it sounds. There are so many factors to consider – your budget, how many bridesmaids you’re having, your colour scheme and wedding theme, your bridesmaids’ fashion tastes and the different sizes and shapes of each girl. And you thought the search for the wedding dress was tricky!
A really good place to start though is the UK high street. Straightaway that hits the right note for any budgeting worries you might have as the high street is full of amazing bargains as well as really cool designs and plenty of options. High street bridesmaids dresses will also appeal to your best girls, as it means you can all go out for a fun shopping trip together and they can help with suggestions of their favourite shops and brands that they already know and love.
Where To Shop For The Best High Street Bridesmaid Dresses
Many of the brands that both you and your bridesmaids regularly shop in have amazing choices when it comes to bridesmaids’ dresses. We’re talking:
- ASOS
- French Connection
- Phase Eight
- Monsoon
- New Look
- Ted Baker
- H&M
- Zara
- Oasis
- Warehouse
There’s a remarkable amount of choice when it comes to size and shape in these high street shops too.
Don’t just presume the dress you like only comes in that one shape, style or colour. Lots of brands have petite, tall and curvy sections too and many create the same dresses in a range of different coloured dresses in lots of different styles. This is ideal if you’ve got bridesmaids that are lots of varying shapes, as some may feel comfortable in a sleeveless design while another may prefer a long-sleeved dress.
Make sure to ask your maids before you go shopping what they are most comfortable in and encourage them to share their opinions on the dresses you’re considering truthfully. After all, you want your best friends to feel comfortable, pretty and happy on your wedding day.
