Let’s face it, shopping for bridesmaid dresses is no mean feat. Factor in your friends’ preferences, not to mention a tight wedding budget, and you’ve got a hella stressful situation on your hands – and that’s before you’ve even started thinking about your gown. So many dress decisions.

So, what do you do when Sarah won’t wear anything sleeveless and Emily hates a plunging neckline? Go for an off-the-shoulder design like Reformation’s Sianna Silk Dress. Problem solved! Money a big consideration? Luckily, there are some great options on the high street starting from as little as £25. And if you’ve got a little more to spend than that, we recommend looking to Mango and Ghost, brands that nail bridal dressing season after season.

Still stuck for ideas? Fear not, Cosmo has got your back with 29 of the best bridesmaid dresses to shop ahead of the big day.
