If you’re planning a wedding – or reinstating a postponed ceremony – congratulations! After choosing the venue and your dress, you’re probably wondering where to buy bridesmaid dresses online. Here, we pose a question: have you considered sage green bridesmaid dresses for your best girl gang?
According to ASOS’ recent trend report, sage green was the most popular colour for bridesmaid dresses during 2021. The online retailer actually sold more than 1.5million (!) bride and bridesmaid dresses last year. As more weddings continue to fill up our diaries, you’re guaranteed to see more of this soothing shade over the coming months. We admit that black bridesmaid dresses are perpetually chic (and a winter wedding winner) but a lighter shade looks more appropriate for summer nuptials.
If you’re not familiar with the nuances of the colours in your herb garden, we’ve got you. Sage is a tad darker than mint with definite grey undertones. Not quite as dark as khaki, sage is chic and classic but unusual enough to bring personality to your bridal party. It also looks beautiful against every skin tone. And as the trend continues for brides to choose one colour then let your maids choose dresses that suit them (rather than picking one shape and making everyone adhere to the bride’s vision) sage is a brilliantly versatile option.
So out of all the sage green bridesmaid dresses, which should you choose? Phase Eight has a flutter sleeve dress that is ultra elegant but we also love the bohemian vibes of H&M’s chiffon tiered dress – it’s perfect for a country-style micro-wedding. Curve sizes will love Lavish Alice’s chic one-shoulder style or Lace & Bead’s puff sleeve tulle maxi dress. Dreamy. Looking for a little more sparkle? There’s a sprinkling of sequins on Coast’s angel sleeve maxi dress and Saloni’s short velvet dark sage dress has crystal-encrusted bows. Add heels and a cute posy and you’re good to go.
Now, what about that hen weekend…
