Rixo bridesmaid dresses are no joke - they are essentially going to save your whole bridal party shenanigans. If you've ever been in a bridesmaid dress as part of a bridal party, you'll be all too familiar with the politics of dressing for the occasion. Dresses are chosen for you, and you're obliged to wear the same thing as four others – all of whom have completely different body shapes and sizes – and, as a result, you all end up feeling slightly uncomfortable. After all, where can you really find lovely, affordable bridesmaid options that you'll actually want to wear? Well, now Rixo has provided the answer to such a question.
Both Rixo's wedding dresses and bridesmaid collection have seen the launch of a brand-new range of dresses. This translates to a concise edit of ten different styles, some new and some developments from previous successful ranges. There are halterneck dresses, wrap styles and button-down midis – including pieces from co-founder Orlagh McCloskey's own bridal party - as well as sizes going up to UK 24, inclusive for those looking for a plus-size bridesmaid dress.

Which Rixo bridesmaid dresses should I buy?
From silhouettes like the classic v-neck Evie adorned with ruffles and waist ties to accentuate every figure to halter-neck Valerie, sophisticated with a high neck and finished with a leg-split to keep skirts flowing through the dancing evenings. There is simply something for everyone, with long or short sleeves to keep waving arms comfortably, as well as lace features and ruffled skirts - Rixo bridesmaid dresses are classic and fresh, the perfect selection for spring and summer weddings.
Many of these shapes of the bridesmaid collection colours are available in Rixo's choice of prints, but the bridal party choices centre around the most popular blushes, sage green bridesmaid dresses and vintage daisy blue prints. Think vintage floral or polka dots that never go out of fashion to dress up a bridal party to the nines.
Keeping it cool with a darker selection of blues and reds in your wedding? Look to pieces like the bestselling Abi, which is a classic piece that your bridesmaids can take home and wear again and again (you don't get that very often, do you).
