The bridesmaids’ dresses were exactly the same flamenco style as the bride’s, only shorter and very brightly coloured.

“I asked the shop to order dresses in all the available colours for you to try on,” said Tiffy, nodding towards a least ten dresses that varied in colour from parrot green to deep mauve; sunshine yellow to raspberry pink. “Let’s just see which suits your skin colour best.”

As Tiffy and the assistant helped them into their dresses the girls giggled excitedly.

“We’re spoilt for choice!” cried Amber.

In the end the dresses chose the girls. Bright tangerine for Coralie, apple green for Amber, sunflower yellow for Pearl and sky-blue for Ella.

“My beautiful bridesmaids,” laughed Tiffy as they lined up before her like bright tropical birds. “You four are really going to make my Carnival wedding!”

As Tiffy and her bridesmaids walked along the High Street, with each of the girls clutching a Bride and Groom bag, they passed a big department store. Ella’s attention was caught by something familiar in the window. Several mannequins were on display wearing bikinis and sarongs but it wasn’t these that caught Ella’s eye. It was the small model in the middle wearing a turquoise dress and little pink pom-pom shoes.
