It’s not often possible to judge what your bridesmaids dresses will look like from a picture, but it’s usually a little easier when you see them on real ‘maids in an authentic wedding situation. Today we’re sharing some of our favourite styles from the gorgeous real weddings we featured on the blog in 2016, to help you envision your girls on your Big Day!
