Top Tips for Buying High Street Bridesmaid Dresses
- If you’re buying bridesmaid dresses from a high street store, do a recce online first and call the shops ahead to see if they have the styles and sizes you like – if not, order them in to try on.
- When you’re ordering online, think about upgrading to a one-off delivery fee that’ll get you free delivery for a whole year. It’ll make buying several sizes to try on and return a much easier (and cheaper) experience.
- Brands like ASOS and Oasis often do the same style dress in different lengths and across their petite and tall ranges. If your bridesmaids are lots of different heights or body shapes, this is your best bet for finding a dress they feel comfortable in.
- Don’t assume that just because you’re buying different styles of navy dresses from the same shop, they’ll be the same shade of navy. Lots of brides love the mix-and-match looks, but if consistency is key for you make sure you compare the dresses in real life in good lighting.
High Street Bridesmaid Dresses Under £50
£50 is actually a very reasonable budget for a bridesmaid dress, you just have to be savvy with where you shop. Online sites are your key players here, like Nasty Gal or Boohoo, but high street stores like New Look, H&M and even Zara are also great places to find a bargain.
1. Corset Detail Cross Front Maxi Dress - £40, Pretty Little Thing
This stunning navy bridesmaid dress is the exact one Molly-Mae wore to be bridesmaid at her mum's recent wedding. It's a sexy yet sophisticated cut that hugs curves and flashes a hint of cleavage but won't distract from the bride. Your 'maids will feel so confident in it.
2. Long Satin Dress - £49.99, H&M
This grey satin bridesmaid dress is absolutely gorgeous! With an elegant cross back, silky soft fabric and flattering seamed waist, this dress will ensure your team feel like the stars they are on the day and looks much more expensive than it is.
3. Lipsy Puff Sleeve Sweetheart Maxi Dress - £48, Next
These pretty floral maxi dresses can be dressed up or down, but we love them like this with nude strappy sandals and simple jewellery. A sweetheart neckline draws attention to a necklace so if you're giving jewellery as a bridesmaid gift, it'll look incredible with it.
4. Strappy Tiered Maxi Dress - £35, Pretty Little Thing
Going for colourful bridesmaid dresses? This bright and voluminous PLT dress is an excellent option: it's smart enough for a special occasion, but cool enough that your ‘maids will want to wear it over and over again.

6. Satin Cross Strap Midi Dress - £42, Nasty Gal
Satin is our favourite fabric of the season. This soft midi dress is just £42 but looks like it's just walked straight off a minimalist runway – the delicate straps also make a great frame for your bridesmaids to show off any particularly treasured jewellery. It comes in a variety of colours so you could mix-and-match this style in several hues.
7. Satin Camisole Dress - £27.99, Zara
We're not sure when Zara became the high street's official satin cami dress supplier, but we're definitely not mad about it – especially when it comes to the hunt for bridesmaids dresses on a budget. This red dress is simple in style while still making a big statement. We love those decorative buttons down the front.
8. One Shoulder Split Maxi Dress - £45, Boohoo
This chiffon blush pink bridesmaid dress suits pear and apple-shaped bridesmaids as the off-shoulder ruching balances the top and bottom out to give them an hourglass figure. From the neckline to the thigh-high split, there's so many details to love.
9. Plunge Front Tie Wrap Maxi Dress - £20, Boohoo
Yes, you read that right. This beautiful mustard wrap dress is only £20 and will look amazing at weddings with a jewel colour scheme. This dress comes in five colourways so you could mix it up or stick to all one colour. The split does come up quite high but a couple of well-placed stitches will make it much more modest. It's a real winner - and a true bargain!
10. Floral Print Open Back Midi Dress - £35, Pretty Little Thing
You don’t always have to go for block colours with bridesmaids dresses – for something more contemporary, try a patterned dress. This floral, pleated dress with an on-trend open back is delicate, feminine and very pretty. Plus, the pleated skirt means more room for scoffing wedding cake.

13. Bridesmaid Bandeau Pleated Maxi Dress - £45, Boohoo
Not only is Boohoo’s brilliant bandeau maxi an absolute bargain at £45, Boohoo often runs whole-site discount codes and other promotions, meaning that if you’re vigilant you might be able to score it for even less. There are two pastel colours to choose between, this dusty blue and a soft nude.
14. Satin One Shoulder Tie Waist Dress - £30, Pretty Little Thing
This flawless satin midi dress has so much to swoon over: the one shoulder design, the flattering tie waist, the asymmetric hem. All it needs is a pair of strappy sandals and some delicate bridesmaid jewellery. This emerald green tone is commonly seen at autumn and winter weddings but we think it deserves a showing year-round.
15. Full Skirted Midi Dress - £25, Boohoo
Skimming the hips and sitting just below the knee, this prom-style dress is super flattering. The berry tone is incredibly popular and suits all skin shades so it's ideal if you have a group of bridesmaids of different body types and skin tones.
High Street Bridesmaid Dresses Under £80
You’ll find the bridesmaid dress range of most shops in this price bracket, and some of the premium collections from the budget brands. ASOS is really fantastic for this price range, as are Mango and online store Little Mistress.

Here's the maternity, plus size, petite and tall options.
18. Lipsy Bella Multiway Bandeau Bridesmaid Dress - £75, Next

Although we know you shouldn’t have favourites, this ruffled beauty is ours.
29. Julianna Dress – £85, Chi Chi London
You can’t go wrong with a satin slip – especially in Chi Chi’s standout grey-green. A simple white posy and pared-back hair and makeup are all your bridesmaids will need to see out the day in style. When a dress is this opulent, it can stand on its own two feet.
30. Kaylie Dress – £90, Chi Chi London
The Kaylie dress, also from Chi Chi London, may have full sleeves and plenty of coverage, but that doesn't mean it can't be a little bit sexy too. The open back shows just the right amount of skin – glam it up with on-trend pearl jewellery and you'll be on to a winner.

Monsoon's classic navy Jessica dress would look just as great with a muted autumn palette as it would with bright splashes of colour for spring and summer. The v-neckline, batwing sleeves and draped overlay will look beautiful on all shapes and sizes, which is excellent news because it runs from a 6 to a 22.
High Street Bridesmaid Dresses Under £150
Similar brands can be found in this price bracket, but if you want lots of options in one place, consider going to a personal shopper service at a department store like John Lewis, where concession stands for Phase Eight and more can often be found.
