In terms of bridesmaids I really like very simple very natural little dresses like this etsy number (by gillygray):
or this Monsoon one...
and I love love love these head bands - so adorable I think I might just have to incorporate them...
When it comes to my adult bridesmaids it gets bit trickier. The colour I really like is orange/coral, as it is really zesty and fun. As I say I like the highstreet as you can get good value for money and the advance of it being 2013 is that the same dresses won't be in the shops when our guests come to buy their outfits so it is unlikely for anyone to turn up wearing the same thing (I hope!).
We all really fell for this Antropologie dress:
But unfortunately they decided to discontinue it this week! Such a shame as it was such a flattering style. It was a little on the pricey side though at just shy of £130 per dress. Anyway, back to the drawing board...
I have found quite a variety of dresses which I like at Dorothy Perkins, and I quite like the idea of this as my married name will be Perkins too :). This is a very standard British highstreet brand but the prices are reasonable and the dress selection is surprisingly extensive...
I think this one is my favourite:

The other shop I have found a couple of options at is Miss Selfridge:
And finally (for now at least - I will add more if I find any more) I have seen a bunch of alternatives in Boden, a British Catalogue which is part of the same parent company as La Redoute and has equally as lovely clothes:
Update: 2 April 2012
I think I have now decided against patterns with other colours in as well as it will be quite hard to match with the rest of the day and the groom and usher suits. However I do like the the single colour pattern still in this Dorothy Perkins dress:

Other than that I've got a few more favourites, some found by Marie, some by my lovely friend Tuely and some found by me, all linked below....
oh and shoes....
I would love, as ever, to know your thoughts and get your recommendations on any alternative shops or catalogues. Ideally want to bring the dresses in at under £100 per dress.
I am continuing to collect ideas on Pinterest too if you want to see my latest finds.
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Have a good Wednesday!
