Shopping for bridesmaids dresses can be so tricky! Lots of readers (and all our bride-to-be pals) get in touch to tell us that while the rest of their wedding planning has been a breeze, finding a bridesmaid's dress that all their ladies will love, is a major sticking point. And while we'll recommend lots of places to try depending on the look and feel of their day, the one brand we consistently tell every bride to check out, is Rewritten.
Versatile Bridesmaids Dresses
Rewritten bridemaids' dresses are cool, contemporary, and stylish, while still being simple and entirely wearable. They're versatile enough to work for any wedding style or season - the right accessorising could take these dresses from a black tie winter wedding to a laid-back beach bash in the sun. And if it sounds like we're gushing, we are, we're honestly big fans! These beauties could make your bridesmaid dress search so much easier!
Effortless Mix & Match Bridesmaid Dresses
The Rewritten collection features six signature styles (which we'll tell you more about below!). Each dress is available in seven gorgeous colours; Concrete, Bluebell, Chianti, Marine, Oyster, Forest Green and Ink.
And whether you tie in contrasting tones, (I love Oyster with Forest Green or Chianti with Concrete and Oyster!) or opt for the same colour dress in different styles, the beauty of the Rewritten collection is that it makes mixing and matching your bridesmaids dresses so easy. If you've got bridesmaids with different styles, shapes or hair colours and skin tones, then this is the collection for you!
Dresses Made with Love
Rewritten was founded by two pals, Katie & Frances, who are so lovely and so passionate about they do! They were frustrated about the choice available to bridesmaids and wanted to create a collection of 'damn cool bridesmaids dresses', that were stylish, unfussy and make every bridesmaid feel amazing!
The entire collection is hand-made in London, and as Katie & Frances explained, each dress is designed with a wide circumference to give a fuller skirt, allowing for beautiful movement when you're shaking your thing on the dance floor (or posing for Boomerangs!). The complete collection is made with an ultra-flattering crepe polyester and each dress is layered throughout and finished with invisible zips, delicate ties and covered buttons.
A Style for Every Bridesmaid
Rewritten dress styles include The Vienna, a floor-length racer back dress with waist tie fastening, The Havana, a halter neck top with a stepped hem and a floor-length skirt, The Florence, an ankle-length wrap dress with back and waist tie detail, The Mykonos, a cold shoulder floor-length gown, The Tokyo, a knee-length wrap dress with back and waist tie detail and – just launched for Spring 2018 – The Seville, a floor-length shoulder tie dress with a subtle train.
Let's take a closer look, shall we?
The Seville
This is perhaps my favourite of the collection - maybe because it's a brand new addition! I just love how the shoulder ties, blowing in the wind, add a touch of elegance and drama to the gown. And the way it moves - swoon!
The Florence
Effortless to wear, The Florence's wrap style with its cinched waist and fluttering sleeves makes it universally flattering - your girls will love you for choosing a dress like this! I love that it allows you to flash a little leg too, and the ankle-length means you can rock some gorgeous footwear!
The Havana
For those who love the idea of bridal separates, The Havana is a two-piece bridemaids dress, sustainably designed to be worn again and again as a skirt and top. Pretty cool right? The loose, breezy silhouette means you'll feel just as fab after going for seconds (or thirds) of the wedding cake too - hurrah!
The Mykonos
I think lots of you are going to fall hard for The Mykonos - this floor-length gown with fluttering off-the-shoulder sleeves is romantic, modern and bohemian. This is one very cool bridesmaids dress, and just look at how it falls - so gorgeous!
The Tokyo
The Tokyo is a fun tea-length wrap dress that's just made for dancing! Another style that your girls can wear again for years to come, this style is perfect for a city wedding (think of the shoe possibilities!) or something a little more informal.
The Vienna
The Vienna is a modern-day classic! With a beautiful shape, it's the perfect canvas for accessorising your look, but left alone, it's also super flattering and so easy to wear!
