One of our favourite wedding boutiques BHLDN have just launched their latest collection of gorgeous gowns in shades of the season such as plum, navy, wine, and green - perfect for creating ensemble wedding party.

1. One Shade - Different Styles
Let's face it finding bridesmaids' dresses to suit all body shapes, skin tones, hair colour, personal tastes can be a minefield. If you want a uniform look then the simplest option is to choosing different dresses for each of your girls in a palette of tones of the same colour. To show off this look this look we've chosen a gorgeous shade for this season - Berry red.

2. Complementary Tones
For those of us who are more adventurous, the temptation is to completely mix it up when it comes to bridesmaid dresses, but a putting the limitations of a set palette of colours offers great cohesion to the wedding party that will look fantastic in the wedding photos. You can have two or more colours, the key to nailing this look is to pick shades which are complimentary on the colour wheel. We've chosen black, grey and blush, a chic combo for this season to create the look.
