If you’re set to get married later this year, chances are you’ve waited a long time for your big day dealing with at least one postponement (if not two), cancelled vendors, deposits unable to be returned and a number of other headaches to deal with in the process. So now that 2022 is finally here and your wedding day is in sight, it’s no surprise you want everything to be smooth sailing from here on out. And that includes finding your bridesmaid dresses. No easy feat when your girls most likely all have different tastes, body shapes, and dress ideas already in mind.
Enter: multiway bridesmaid dresses: any stressed bride’s dream. If Hannah is adamant she wants a halterneck bridesmaid dress, but Sarah doesn’t like to show off her shoulders – and Alice likes a plunging neckline but Lydia has a quirkier style that really suits an asymmetric one-shoulder neckline – a multiway bridesmaid dress is sure to solve every argument that may arise.
Coming in a whole host of colours (including this year’s trending sage colour-way), multiway dresses feature convertible straps that can be placed and tied in different ways to create a number of different styles, allowing you to factor in your friends’ preferences. But in the same colour and fabric, your bridesmaids will still all look like one cohesive group, not as if they’ve all turned up from different weddings. Result.
The best part? There are plenty of high street bridesmaid dresses with multiway straps, so whether you’re asking your girls to pay for their own dresses or your budget is already stretched paying for everything else that comes with a wedding, no one has to break the bank on a bridesmaid dress. This TFNC bridesmaid multiway maxi dress in navy which can be tied in a seemingly endless amount of ways, is just £55 (and is available in the same style in the TFNC Plus range up to a UK size 28 to cater for everyone of your bridesmaids). And if you shop now, you can get a lot of bridesmaid dresses in the sale, like this Oasis light blue multiway dress that is currently £38.65.
If you’re after something a bit different like black bridesmaid dresses or short bridesmaid dresses, look to Free People for a midi convertible dress. Elsewhere, Coast offers a multiway jersey midi dress that falls just below the knee. There are so many options out there, you’re sure to find some truly unique bridesmaid dresses, and could even opt for white bridesmaid dresses.
