Flattering frocks, chic shoes and clutches, and gifts that will make your ladies go gaga.

Warm shades of lavender, peach, gray, and wheat complement all skin tones and blend seamlessly with other colors.

An origami-like fold looks polished on Lela Rose Bridesmaid's duchesse satin dress (dessy.com), while Nathalie pumps by Unforgettable Moments by Lela Rose for Payless add punch.

The straps on Anna Elyse Bridesmaids' Clarissa dress are optional, and so is the fabric; choose from taffeta (shown here), satin, or silk dupioni. Ranjana Khan's "Athena" necklace (priscillaofboston.com for stores) pairs perfectly.

The fluttery hand-cut silk chiffon that covers Tadashi Shoji's design is an accessory in itself.

This high-neck silk dupioni dress -- part of Monique Lhuillier's new bridesmaid collection -- accentuates the waist (bellabridesmaid.com), while a Kate Spade bib necklace ups the glam factor.

Dress your bridesmaids in a range of styles and shades. To keep things interesting, add in a neutral, like gray.

Saja's airy chiffon number has a forgiving fit.

If you're wearing a tea-length dress -- or even a mini -- send your maids down the aisle in Simple Silhouettes' floor-grazing Rosebay, a grown-up version of the sundress; it's shown with Monet's Trend Color necklace.

The grosgrain Grove by 57 Grand is actually one piece (the blousy effect is created with a clever pintuck) and has handy pockets.

Feminine and flowy thanks to a romantic ballet skirt and draped sweetheart bodice, J.Crew's silk chiffon Arabelle is set off by Monet's Thursday Night Fever necklace.

A one-shoulder silk shantung wonder, the Single by AriaDress nips in at the waist, then kicks out in an A-line that hits just below the knee. Slip on cute sandals, like the heart-covered "Lourdes" by Kate Spade.

These finishing touches are as versatile as they come. Tone down a bright dress with a goes-with-anything neutral accessory, amp up a pale frock with a splash of color, or deliver a dose of playful sparkle to any look.
