A couple of weeks ago we sharedour favorite bridesmaid dresses for summer weddings— be it a ceremony on a sandy beach or a reception in a secret rose garden, Weddington Way has the perfect bridesmaid dress for every occasion. Once you’ve found the dress that suits your maids’ personality, style, and skin tone, it’s time to think about the accessories! A simple shawl or statement earring can add a lot to your bridal party look. To inspire you to be creative and original with your bridesmaid fashion, we’ve styled five of our dresses with the ideal accessories for every type of summer wedding imaginable.

For a beach wedding, have your bridesmaids channel their inner Greek goddess. A flat gold gladiator sandal ensures they can navigate a sandy aisle easily and a pashmina will keep them warm if the evening turns chilly.

Pretty pinks and purples feel fresh at a country club wedding. The ruffled collar on this dress calls for minimalist earrings like pearl studs and chic strappy sandals such as the white heels shown here.

For a wedding at a winery, pair a classic satin strapless dress with a stunning necklace and coordinating bouquet. Stud earrings, a wedge sandal, and large sunglasses complete the casual yet elegant look.

Cool pastels will pop against the bright natural colors of a garden wedding. We love this pale blue dress with a Gatsby-inspired headband, glittery flat sandal, and long delicate necklace.

Dress: After Six, white bouquet, nail polish: Revlon, sandal: Fabio Rusconi, Nina Mullins Photography, lipgloss: Dolce & Gabbana, headband: Dauphines of New York, and necklace: Gorjana.

A cowboy chic look, complete with cowboy boots and netted gold earrings, is fabulous fun for a farm wedding. Sunglasses protect your maids eyes from the sun and a jean jacket is the best cover up for late night s’mores by the campfire.
