Why the “modern bridesmaid” matters

Modern bridesmaid style is all about freedom - dresses that look good on everyone, work all year round, and still feel right after the big day. Mix-and-match colours, luxe fabrics, and zero cookie-cutter vibes.

6 cool bridesmaid dress brands to know

• Rewritten London - Female-founded and London-based, we are known for rewearable silhouettes (ahem, hello lace panel Remi dress and sweeping halterneck Roma dress) and a tightly curated colour palette. Perfect if you want contemporary bridesmaid pieces built to last.

• Rixo - Retro-inspired prints and confident colourways that suit non-traditional parties.

• Needle & Thread - Statement detail and party-ready finishes for brides who want texture and polish. We are obsessed with the embellishment.

• Self Portrait - Fresh, youthful cuts and the most gorgeous detailing. Pricey but worth the investment. 

• Zara - You can't beat a bit of high street and no-one does event dressing quite like they do - plus, ultra accessible price points for trendy wedding parties.

• Second-hand & rental - Options for eco-first brides who want low-impact choices. Sites like HURR and My Wardrobe do it particularly well.
