5 BEAUTIFUL BRIDESMAID DRESSES FROM COAST

Summer means one thing and one thing only. Wedding season. Whether us singletons like it or not, many couples are tying the knot over the next couple of months, so it's time to start planning those outfits, girls and boys!

Coast is my favourite high street store to head to know when looking for occasion wear. Ever since I got my hands on that stunning satin floral dress a while back, I've always gone back looking for more. 

It's the best affordable brand to shop from when you're looking for something special to wear for a summer event. When my parents got married a few years ago, Coast was the first store we headed to and all us bridesmaids fell in love with the majority of the store. 

Coast have got some gorgeous dresses, tops and skirts in at the moment; perfect for any brides who are looking for the perfect outfits for their bridesmaids. Here I have chosen my favourites, selected from a wide range of colours. 

This Brooke Midi dress (£119) is the perfect style if you're a shorter girl. I personally can't wear dresses that are maxi style, as they are too long for me. I always head for a midi length, as it shows off my legs but gives me that formal feel that you would need at something like a wedding.

The gorgeous frilled bardot neckline is something that really appeals to me and is great for bigger chested girls. It will take the attention away from your boobs and lets your neck do the talking. Pair with a gorgeous pair of silver or nude heels, a dainty necklace and an up-do for your hair; and you're well on your way to outdoing the bride.

The Corwin dress (£109) is made from a jersey material and features a multi-tie up at the back. If you can't go braless, then you can wrap it around you and secure into a bow at the back. If you fancy showing your back off, the ties can be placed across your back in an X shape and tied neatly at the bottom of your back.

This rich cobalt blue colour is something that will suit all skin tones and all hair colours. Available in short and regular lengths (perfect!), it's stunning and visually appealing in wedding photography, especially. 

I have been obsessed with top and skirt duos for weddings ever since a friend of mine wore both at a wedding. I would never usually think about wearing a long skirt and top together, but they do look absolutely stunning on and it's something I will definitely consider for the next wedding I go to!

Burgundy/maroon shades are my favourite for weddings, so this is probably my favourite bridesmaid outfit available at Coast right now. This is the Marr Lace Top (£69) is a lace bardot style with 3/4 length sleeves. The neckline has an almost scalloped style edge and when teamed up with the Harrie skirt (£99); you're guaranteed to look effortlessly chic.

If you love a maxi length dress, the Lori Lee dress (£149) is the perfect one for you. Draped in lace and chiffon, this is set to turn heads at every opportunity. It features a gorgeous glittery waistband that pulls you in at all the right places and extenuates your curves. 

The upper layer is doubled with a material underneath the lace, so you can either wear a strapless bra or a bra with clear straps. Pair with silver heels like the model is wearing and off you go! 

Finally, if green is your colour scheme, then is another duo that you need in your wardrobe for all of those big events. The Thea top (£99) is a boxy fit and embellished with lots of sequins and beads. 

It's the perfect top to wear when you're dancing your shoes off until the early hours and looks amazing with Coast's Iridessa skirt. Available in short and regular lengths, it's another great option for those shorter girls who want length, but don't want their garments to be hitting the floor. Show off those shins and pair with a pair of dainty stilettos; and you're on your way to have a great night. 

What option would you choose? I love them all but I think the burgundy top and skirt duo is my favourite!
