17 best maternity bridesmaid dresses 2023 that both you and your pregnant pal will love

We already know how difficult it is to find bridesmaid dresses you and your besties will absolutely love, but adding the need for maternity bridesmaid dresses for your pregnant bridesmaid into the mix shouldn't be a cause of extra panic. Unlike the tent-like maternity gowns of yore, designer and high street stores have released maternity-appropriate occasion dresses for 2023 that are actually chic, and which will allow your pregnant pals look and feel their best on your big day.

First, let’s consider the style. Multiway bridesmaid dresses are set to be hugely popular in 2023 once again, allowing your besties to co-ordinate in the same colour – but a style that suits their body shape. This means the mum-to-be can select a dress in a silhouette and fabric that accommodates her baby bump.

If you’re set on your girls wearing the same dress, both empire-waist dresses and A-line bridesmaid dresses are particularly accommodating to a growing baby bump. Plus, you’ll be able to find dresses in both styles with beautiful necklines – such as sleeveless, one shoulder, spaghetti straps, cold shoulder, v-neck and flutter sleeve.

If a loose dress with lots of drape is what you both desire, there are plenty of non-maternity designer brands that she could easily slip into, too. Taller Marmo's cult dresses are a dream as their signature fluid silhouettes will skim over bumps, rather than swamping pregnant shapes, as with their classic Mrs Ross style. Saloni's hammered silk dress could also suit the earlier trimester's, due to its empire-line waistband that would sit above a smaller bump.

Our final style point? It's worth noting that evening weddings are really in RN, so you might want to consider more of an evening dress/party dress vibe. Consider H&M's sequinned dress with v-neck and tie waist which will have her feeling ultra glamorous while showing off her growing belly. Elsewhere, ASOS DESIGN has a stunning collection of maternity bridesmaid dresses - like this delicately embroidered pleated floor length dress with ruffle shoulders, or this chic satin forest green midi dress.

Next, let’s talk colour. You’ve likely got a colour scheme in mind for your bride tribe to all coordinate (if not, take a look at our sage green bridesmaid dresses, burgundy bridesmaid dresses, pastel bridesmaid dresses and grey bridesmaid dresses guides for some inspo). This could make things a little trickier if you’re having to shop separately to cater to her beautiful bump - but you’ll be pleased to know a lot of high street bridesmaid dress brands - such as ASOS - do the same style of dress in a wide range of on-trend hues. Whichever maternity bridesmaid dress you choose, the good news is that mama-to-be bridesmaids don't need to feel frumpy for 2023 weddings.
