Best bridesmaid styles of 2025

No matter the size or style of your wedding party, bridesmaid style can elevate your overall aesthetic with stunning effect. But working out the logistics – different preferences, girlies in different locations, where to even shop – can feel overwhelming.

So, let us help with some real wedding inspo.

This year, we’re seeing a shift toward considered restraint. Bridesmaids are stepping out in varied gowns that live within the same colour family, or in perfectly matched hues – acknowledging different personalities through silhouettes and cuts.

It’s sophisticated. It’s intentional. It works.

Powder blue and butter lemon have dominated the palette, alongside elegant black. Thoughtful colour blocking creates cohesion without compromise.

And the designers leading the charge? Aje, Shona Joy, Bec + Bridge and Effie Kats are crafting gowns bridesmaids actually want to wear.

Scroll on to see our favourite bridesmaid looks of 2025, thanks to the generous couples and photographers who share their real weddings with us.
