Monsoon is going for long and luxurious with this purple silk satin gown. It’s great for a formal occasion with a covered bust and embroidered straps that are repeated at the back. In a maxi style, it will look great with a formal up do but the colour keeps it fun. As the priciest dress of this series, it is one you may have to limit one or two bridesmaids.

Salisbury bridesmaid dress, £180 here.
