Staying in

Boohoo has a dedicated bridesmaid dress section, stocked with over 80 flattering, body-conscious silhouettes, many of which come in at least three shades, to match the chosen wedding colors to a T

Made famous in the 90s by the supermodels or the era such as Kate Moss, the classic silk slip dress is a timeless favourite

While the fabric may occasionally need a light touch-up for a perfectly crisp look, it resists wrinkles far better than traditional tuxedo shirts

A little black dress of course is a go-to, but there are plenty of options for short dress styles that will work for black-tie weddings

Always one step ahead
