    My advice to everyone is to make sure the invites give some clue as to what colour the bridesmaids are in. Mine were in sage so I had sage ribbon on my invites. If I received an invite with say, purple or turquoise on it I would not wear those colours as a guest or at the least I wqould find out what the bridesmaids are wearing.

    I recently ordered a bhs bridesmaid dress in the sale for an evening event but it didnt fit on the bust! It was lovely quality though. Debenhams are also good but I would try on in the store and then order off the website as some dresses I tried on in the store were in pretty poor condition. I dont think their racks are meant to hold evening dresses as many were damaged. I would wait for the sales (you can sign up for the BHS wedding mailing list) and 20% off days and also order through cashback sites to get best value of money.

    Good point! :A

    Bhs bridesmaid dresses: http://www.bhs.co.uk/mall/departmentpage.cfm/bhsstore/226867/1|25/1

    My daughter wore a BHS bridesmaid dress for my wedding, I thought it was fine, very pretty. I was looking in Monsoon and other places for ages but found that they all seemed to be rather fancy, not plain so I was pleased to find the BHS one.

    Just checked out the BHS site, I am not a fan of satin or taffeta, much prefer chiffon for bridesmaids! :o

    the creases are from them being so tightly wrapped up but they have come out alot including the ribs at the bottom, they are darker in real life as the sun was shining that day!

    Hey Bubbles

    The dresses look good. You got a great bargain there. :)

    I am tempted to order a dress from BHS to check the quality and fit. Wnted to go and look in store but from checking teh web site not many stores have the wedding range - frustrating as I work right next to Lakeside shopping centre.

    Not sure yet lol! Something quite subtle and sweet - vintage rose pink, mint green, lavender, buttermilk - those kinds of colours. :)
