Inspired by the Great Gatsby trend that took over for the last while, bridesmaids' dresses have definitely stepped it up a notch in terms of becoming more glam, and we're loving how the bridesmaids are going sequin crazy on the aisles these days. Beautifully embellished, sparkly, glittery dresses in mixed metallics such as gold, silver and blush have been popping up on our wedding radar a lot. So as part of the celebration of Winter Wedding this week we thought we'd highlight this high glamour trend and dig up some of the best sparkly bridesmaids dress. And for those of you who are unconvinced this is a good luck we've thrown in some of our favourite examples of bridesmaids who rocked sparkly dresses in style. Of course these beauties would work equally well for a winter wedding guest looking to glam it up or for a bride looking for a special day after dress so everyone can be a glitzy goddess!
Short and Sweet Sequin Bridesmaids Dresses
Just because it's glittery doesn't have to be a Diana Ross gown, short glittery dresses inject a dose of sparkly fun without being too formal. Pick the same style for all of your girls for a dramatically glam look or mix and match different styles to suit each of your girls personality. The beauty in choosing a shorter hemline is that these can definitely be worn again and again long after the big day is over (I know everyone says that about bridesmaid dresses, but these are real party frocks so you can!)

Again, go matchy-matchy for a timeless traditional look or mix and match styles, shades and embellishments for a more contemporary look. Loving the bridesmaid in black sequins above - so dramatic!
