Our Favourite Real Bridesmaids Dresses of the Year 2021
Marianne Foody, Junior Writer
Marianne loved the mix-and-match floral bridesmaids dresses from Sarah and James's wedding, which you can see in full here, with imagery by Aspect Photography.
"The bridesmaids dresses from Sarah and James’s wedding caught my eye! I just love how the dresses don’t match but are all a similar energy - bohemian chic with undertones of baby pink and grey all throughout. I think she did a wonderful job juxtaposing textures and colours!"
Helen Doyle, Account Manager
Helen's favourite bridesmaids dresses came from Danni and Damien's gorgeous city wedding. You can see more from their real wedding here, with images by Michelle Prunty Photography.
“Danni chose very elegant dresses for her two bridesmaids. I think anyone would be delighted to get to wear them!”
Ciara McGarry, Social Media Executive
Ciara chose the gorgeous bridesmaids dresses from Caitriona and John's big day. You can see the full wedding here, with imagery by IG Studio Photography.
“I can’t get enough of these mismatched bridesmaids – they just looked so cool and effortless. It’s one of my favourite wedding trends at the moment!”
Rebecca Fox, Account Manager

Karen Louise Daly, Deputy Editor
Karen's pick is from Hannah and Alistair's real wedding in Derry. You can see the the full real wedding here, with images by Sun and Beau Photography.
"Oh my, where do I start with this gorgeous bridal squad!? Hannah's gals seriously wowed me in their on-trend cream, effortlessly sophisticated slip bridesmaids dresses, a hot bridesmaids look for 2022 weddings and beyond!"
Celina Murphy, Editor
My personal favourite bridesmaids dresses this year come from Claire and David's real wedding in Donegal. You can see the full real wedding here, with images by Remain in Light Photography.
"I love that Claire's bridesmaids were her 'Something Blue', even matching her wedding shoes! A mix of floral and block colours, satin and lace, the dresses are tied together by their blue tones, and the effect is just dreamy!"
Before we leave you, we want to say a huge thank you to all the talented wedding photographers and couples who allowed us to share their incredible weddings this year. We loved every minute we spent poring over those gorgeous photographs!
