Earlier in the year we unveiled the biggest bridesmaid trends for 2016 and one of our favourites from the bunch was glamorous embellished gowns. We expect lots of sparkly numbers come winter and Christmas time but maids looking to indulge in a bit of glitz will be glad to hear embellished gunas will be super popular for spring and summer too with lots of fab options in the shops! While we’re not talking full on sparkle-fest (although we’d welcome these with open arms too), a hint of sparkle across the bodice, some shimmer along the belt line or some chic vintage inspired sequins will ensure your ladies shine bright as well! Check out our pick of the best embellished bridesmaid dresses currently available on the high street and in bridal stores below…
