i'm getting married in july and i need to find a dress for my bridesmaid sharpish as i can't sort out all the accessories flowers, mens craveats etc until i know what colour the bridesmaids dress is! i have searched high and low but i don't really like traditional bridesmaids dresses, and i really don't like satin or taffeta.

i've only got 1 bridesmaid, she's mid twenties, size 14, and pale with blonde hair. i need something quite plain as my dress has lots of detail on it. colour wise - blue/turquoise/green/lilac.

any suggestions very gratefully received - i can't find anything i like!!!

thanks

hi i work for coast and we always have ladies in looking for bridesmaids dresses as they are'nt too traditonally bridesmaidy and you can wear them again, we have got quite a good range in at mo.

oh i don't want them to look drab - i like the blues in this iykwim.

will go into monsoon with her and try it on that's prob the best idea. just thought she would suit a blue/green more than a yellow/green iykwim, god i am starting to sound like a fussy bride-zilla now i think i'd better chill out and go to bed!

yes you're right. my brain is all a muddle, it's too late for me!

unfortunately when you say lilac and bridesmaids dress you make people imagine something god awful like this!

why is it so easy to find awful dreses?
