A blush hue, a pretty pink bow… We’re celebrating May with an extra-pretty dress.

Whether you’re a bride on a mission for the perfect dress for your girls or want to bring a hint of retro appeal to your closet (guilty as charged!), we’re smitten with this oh-so-sweet dress by Jacob, $169.

It is part of the Montreal-based retailer’s L’Atelier collection, which, admittedly, is filled with fabulous flirty options – including a short white number that would be perfect for the modern, low-key bride – that are the perfect balance of vintage and sleek.

Remember, brides: Friends don’t let friends looks anything less than fabulous. —Christine Laroche

There’s nothing more illogical (or mean-spirited) than dressing five ladies of varying shapes and sizes in the same strapless taffeta number.

Enter the Sakura dress ($98) designed with bridesmaids in mind. With more than one hundred possible ways to wear it, no girl shall feel like the walrus at the altar. It comes in a bunch of colours (we like the slate blue) and can be flirty, formal or totally relaxed, depending on how it’s styled.

Yup, this is one dress you really will wear again.
