Wedding planning can be super stressful, there's no doubt about it. When it comes to bridesmaid dresses, a bride always wants her party to feel as comfortable as possible.

Where can I buy my bridesmaid dresses?
Traditionally, buying bridesmaids' dresses can be a hefty job. From finding the right shop to getting dresses tailored, the money can add up.

Some of our fave shops for your perfect bridesmaids' outfits - which also have plus-sized lines - include ASOS, Chi Chi Clothing, Simply Be, Coast, Amazon, Etsy, QUIZ, John Lewis and Boohoo.

When is wedding season?
Traditionally, wedding season runs between spring and autumn - although there's nothing wrong with having a winter wedding!
Most couples will marry in the months of July, August and September. Usually, this is the time in which people will be fighting for those venues. Summer weddings are very popular, but as we all know, here in the UK you can never trust the weather!
What colour bridesmaid dresses should I get?
If you're reading this article, then chances are you'll already have an idea of what colour scheme you're going for throughout your wedding as well as what theme you'll be having.
You can even have a variety of bridesmaid dress colours - if you use a palette with different tones of your stand-out colour, then it can be a really pretty and unique way to dress up your bridal party.
Some brides even let their bridesmaids go rogue and choose their own colours! It all depends on what you want for your perfect wedding.
