Traditionally, it’s frowned upon for a female guest to wear a white dress to a wedding. After all, no one should attempt to upstage the bride! However, when it comes to your bridesmaids, you might decide to break the rules. After all, Pippa Middleton wore white as she followed her sister down the aisle!
The perfect white bridesmaid dress should be simpler in style than the bridal gown and might even incorporate a colour, perhaps in a sash or overlay. Let’s take a look at some favourite designs.
If your gown features chiffon or beading, this style, 21588 by Mori Lee, would be a perfect choice for your bridesmaids. Available in white it has beaded shoulder straps and a delicately beaded waistline.
