Style Notes: Florals might not be the first theme that springs to mind for the modern bridesmaid, but over the last few years, there's been a steady stream of up-and-coming designers giving the classic print a fashionable update. Despite being individually distinct, these four styles all work well together because they all feature a touch of white.

Style Notes: A black-tie wedding is a great excuse to go all out with your bridesmaid dresses. In this edit, I've mixed simple silken looks with a couple of more textural numbers to create a satisfying contrast. I've also purposefully chosen two styles in pastel hues and two in richer shades.

Style Notes: When looking for dresses for a destination wedding, so many things come into play: You have to consider everything from weather and terrain (e.g., are you on a beach?) to packing-proof fabric. I also think you can get away with more daring and eclectic looks—think jumpsuits, paint-box brights and unusual prints.

Style Notes: If you want the cohesiveness of matching dresses without the cringe factor, try going tonal. This is a great option for those who don't feel so confident matching four very different dresses (it's pretty hard to mess this one up). Just make sure you pick a universally flattering hue. Our faves include powder blue, forest green and pale pink.
