I’ve always thought lilac is a much maligned colour. Too pale to be vibrant, yet not quite of the pastel family yet there’s few people this pretty shade doesn’t suit. This knee length lilac dress with a pleated top and corsage detailing will look great for summer weddings whether you’re a guest or bridesmaid whilst the £75 price tag from Oasis easily beats the bridal shops.

Don’t drive yourself mad trying to find matching shoes – silver works best here.
