We love a designer bridesmaid dress as much as the next girl, but there’s a lot to be said for the high street! Your local high street shops are bursting with bright, budget-friendly options for bridesmaids, no matter your wedding style or season. Just take a look at our favourite picks currently in store!



£110, Debut at Debenhams

Debenhams has a fantastic range of bridesmaids dresses in a huge number of colours, so you’re sure to find gowns for your girls to suit your chosen wedding colour scheme! Debenhams’ own line of Debut dresses has been a classic choice of occasionwear for many years – we particularly love this pretty peach blossom maxi!



£17.99, H&M

Although H&M has no dedicated occasionwear section, they do offer some gorgeous dress options (particularly in summer) as well as affordable jewellery and shoes. We think this faux pearl and diamante statement collar looks luxurious and modern, and your girls are sure to wear it again – not bad for under £20!



£95, BHS

We love the BHS Wedding Boutique – it has everything from flowergirl shoes to wedding dresses, all at very affordable prices. One of our favourite bridesmaid dresses from their adult range is the online exclusive Sofia. The classic shape is updated with a feminine lace overlay, and the colour is perfect for all seasons. If you’d prefer it in a pastel shade, Sofia also comes in mint green.

£9.99, New Look

Flower headbands are everywhere on the high street this summer, and this pink and ivory rose garland from New Look is one of our most loved. For under a tenner, this fun hair accessory can add the finishing touch for bridesmaids at a bohemian, festival or country garden themed wedding day.

£240, Adrianna Papel at House of Fraser

Having a Great Gatsby theme wedding? Then you have to see the elegant Art Deco beaded dresses from Adrianna Papel! This stunning embellished maxi is perfect for 1920s-inspired weddings, and comes in blush taupe (shown), cornflower blue and sorbet peach.

£79, No. 1 Jenny Packham at Debenhams

Lusting after Jenny Packham details but can’t justify the price tag? Take a look at her fantastic line for Debenhams, No. 1 Jenny Packham. The range includes gorgeous dresses, belts, hair accessories, jewellery and shoes, all with Jenny Packham’s unmistakable style and design. We love these beautiful embellished heels!

£55, Miss Selfridge

Bright pink is one of the hottest colours for bridesmaids this year, so we were super excited to find this one-shoulder beauty at Miss Selfridge! This eye-catching maxi dress would look amazing paired with gold or silver accessories, and is practically a steal at just over £50.

£39, Accessorize

Check out this beaded beauty! The high street is a great place to pick up pretty clutch bags for your bridesmaids, and this embellished envelope clutch from Accessorize is one of our top picks. The mix of pastel and metallic shades on a neutral base means it will work well with lots of dress colours and wedding themes.
