Flower girls look cute in ivory netted dresses and will always add the ‘aaahh’ factor; tie them in by adding a sash in the same fabric or colour as the adult bridesmaids.

The wedding party always looks great when there is some unity, so why not get the groomsmen cravats or ties in the same colour as the bridesmaids? Or if that’s too matchy-matchy for you choose tonal shades or a total contrast.

If you have chosen the colour story or preferred fabric (greens or neutrals; raw silk or chiffon, for example) for your wedding style, make sure you take a sample along when bridesmaids shopping as this will really help narrow down your search – you’ll be focussed and just looking at designs available in that colour and fabric.
