It’s no surprise that shimmering sequin and metallic gowns are popular choices for winter bridesmaid dresses – something about cold weather and warm lighting makes us long for a flash of sparkle –  but actually, sequin bridesmaid dresses can work for any season.

And because there are so many different shades to shimmer in, we wanted to bring you gorgeous metallic and sequin bridesmaid dress inspiration! Whether you’re mad about rose gold, a sucker for metallics, or you just think your girls would look incredible in a trio of sequin bridesmaid dresses, you’ll find tonnes of frankly fabulous ideas below.

Gold Bridesmaid Dresses

Braving the cold for a photograph is worth it when your dresses are this gorgeous! The cap sleeve, cowl-back sequin bridesmaid dress is one of the most universally-flattering styles on the market, so it tends to make bridesmaids very happy indeed! Gold bridesmaid dresses don’t have to be flashy. Real bride Nicola chose a metallic skirt and ivory camisole combo as a chic yet comfortable option for her girls.

Silver Bridesmaid Dresses

Whether you choose slinky sleeveless sequin numbers that are real showstoppers or something more low-key  – you can be sure that silver dresses will pair with any season or theme. If you like the metallic look but don’t want sequins, try an elegant silver silk or satin gown like these beauties above.

Rose Gold & Pink Metallic Bridesmaid Dresses

Hues of pink, blush and rose gold work so well with a soft and elegant neutral palette, and look great with everything from red to peach florals.

Bronze & Copper Bridesmaid Dresses

Richer shades of gold, like copper and bronze, always make gorgeous winter bridesmaid dresses, particularly when paired with lots of festive greenery. A rich floral colour palette of red roses also looks incredible with sequin bridesmaid dresses.

Green Sequin Bridesmaid Dresses

Fresh green sequins? Yes, please! All of the beautiful weddings above opted for completely different styles such as mixed fabrics, different lengths from mini to knee-length to maxi to opposite shades of greens like emerald, sage and mint. Green is a neutral shade that will always be in trend in wedding style.

Mix & Match Metallics

There’s no rule to say that your bridesmaid dresses have to feature the same metallic, and if there is, you have our permission to break it! Mixing and matching sequins and metallic finishes is easier than you think. Warm gold and emerald green work really well together and a pale shade of blush pink will tie in beautifully, too.  Once you’ve got a particular colour palette in mind, you’ll find styling your bridal party becomes quite simple. Real bride Madison above opted for a selection of sequin and shimmering satin gowns for her girls in shades of antique gold and champagne, and the effect is just stunning!

Shimmering Accents

Add some sparkle to your mix-and-match line up by adding a sequin, sparkling or metallic dress, or accents. It works so well when your other ladies are in rich textures like velvet. It’s also a great way to have your maid of honour stand out from the rest.
