10. Mango Flowy Dress ($80): If you want your femme squad in the same dress, this fluttery frock takes all the guesswork out of choosing a style that will flatter everyone. Fit and flare silhouettes are universally flattering with flowy sleeves that cover arms and balance the low neck-line, a nipped-in waist and a knee-length hem that’s fun without being scandalous.
11. Zara Combined Dress ($70): Think outside the box and swap a standard chiffon gown for something with a bit more personality. This flirty A-line dress has undeniable mid-century flair thanks to a high ruffled neckline and lace panel bodice, but the bubblegum pink hue keeps it feeling ultra feminine and nuptial-ready.
12. The Jetset Diaries Carla Maxi ($249): The girls will be more than stoked when you present them with this gorgeous cutout gown. A halter-bandeau-fusion bodice and an open back make the dress feel edgy, elegant and warm-weather ready, while the weightless fabric is all about keeping things fuss-free. Grecian sandals and ornate bib necklaces are a must for a carefree boho vibe, but stilettos and chandelier earrings will instantly impart sophisticated appeal.
13. Zara Long Crepe Dress ($70): Sometimes less is more. This maxi’s clean lines and minimalist form says straight-up sophistication. Dress it up with of-the-moment steppers like high-heeled mules and a statement cuff and studs.
14. C/MEO Collective Better Things Dress ($180): Fashion-forward brides will totally dig the ’90s, slip-like style of this red hot number, and bridesmaids will love all of its post-wedding potential. We’re envisioning it layered over a short-sleeved turtleneck and block-heeled ankle booties.
15. & Other Stories Sweetheart Neckline Dress ($130): To create a cohesive look, draw inspiration for your bridesmaids dresses from your own gown. This feminine A-line dress with its dipped neckline is the perfect complement to gowns with a sweetheart bodice.
16. ASOS Curve Skater Dress With Cold Shoulder & Flutter Sleeve ($48): Decide on a color and let your bridesmaids pick their silhouettes. The current obsession with off-the-shoulder everything means this flutter-sleeve skater is on-trend and bound to be worn to many other summer soirees.
