It has been a pink week around here! Yesterday we had a long pink dress, and today I’ve been moved to catalog that most classic of bridesmaid dress colors: pink! If you love the color, and/or your bridesmaids do, there are very few things rosier than a line of attendants in this pretty hue.
I’m showing hot pink and vibrant green inspiration in the peplum dress from Aria above, which was inspired by the green, white and pink in that lovely bouquet created by EightTreeStreet Floral Design Studio. That sleek peplum is such a ladylike shape, and pink and green are very ladylike colors! A hot pink hue like this fuchsia or raspberry shade of pink can hold up to other accent colors that have some punch: green, purple, blue, yellow, orange, navy, and black ( one at a time…not all at once!) . To go the classic route, choose pearls, metallics, silver or black for more neutral look. I combined the two with the pink , green, and pearl accents and the slightest bit of gold, and made it kind of whimsical with the chunky earrings and necklace. If your style is less preppy and more classic, there are plenty accessories that will go with this! This color family comes in lots of short styles or varying intensities of pink, and I’ve picked 3 favorites from J.Crew, and Alfred Sung below.

Pink Strapless Chiffon Gown
I’m getting lots of visitors and readers who are looking for beach formal gowns, which leads me to believe you have some pretty fun weddings to attend this spring and summer! I chose this pink chiffon long gown with a very formal beach wedding in mind, but this long pink dress would also be great for bridesmaids, or for a springtime or summer formal wedding where a long black gown wouldn’t suit the festive, light mood.
Back to beach formal classification for a second: when I wrote up the attire guidelines, I mentioned that beach weddings can have a real range to them. You’ll know better than I would if your occasion qualifies as this level of beach formal, but I would think an evening beach destination wedding at a high-end resort, or a beach wedding at a tony beach club or hotel would be the type of invitation that would be this kind of beach formal.
If you’ll actually be on the beach, 1. things may be a little bit more casual (see the guidelines for what to wear there!) so more of a pretty sundress, and tamer accessories, and a natural beachy look can also qualify, while still being formal 2. The most important element should be that you are dressed for the weather, and wearing flats or sandals that you can navigate the sand in.
If the beach is just a backdrop, and you’ll just be overlooking a beach from the elegant confines of a 5-star hotel while tuxedo-ed waiters pass you champagne, ( like the guests at this wedding ), then the heels, a formal gown, and as much sparkle as you wish should be just fine. This dress is styled for just that sort of grand occasion, or a formal spring or summer wedding in a hotel ballroom or elegant reception venue.
Here is some beach wedding inspiration (both formal and casual), that I’ve pinned on Pinterest, as well as some other beach looks for weddings like this sea glass inspiration board on Burnett’s Boards, this naturally chic wedding from Elizabeth Anne Designs, and these elegant beach decor ideas from Wedding Chicks.
Let me know in the comments; is this the kind of dress you’d wear to a formal spring or summer wedding?

Dresses Under $150
Polka Dot Tulip Dress for $138
Boy, are there a lot of pretty dresses under $150! How did I find that out? Well, recently, a friend challenged me to find wedding guest outfits for under $200. The way I break that down, the spending allocation will need to be about $80 (or under) for the dress, $60 or under for all the accessories (except shoes), and $60 for the shoes – which seems totally manageable! Did I do the math correctly? (Never was good at math!)
So, I started out on that challenge , but as a happy diversion from that search I have found a ton of dresses in the $95 – $150 range. So, if you already have shoes you’re dying to dance in, the perfect little bag, and cherished jewelry you always, always wear… well, then, with these dresses you’ll have an outfit for under $150! If you don’t have any of those things, I promise I’ll be back soon with the total wedding guest outfit for $200!

Find a Wedding Dress
Looking for a Wedding Dress? Start Here!
Hi, Brides-to-be! I try to make my blog posts easy to find by the menu navigation system over ——-> (there) but if you’re a first time visitor to Dress For The Wedding, you may not be aware of the three ways you can find the perfect wedding dress. So here’s a little guide:
Jacinda by Watters
1. Collages and Designer Features
All styled collages I create as well as bridal collection previews or designer features are categorized under Wedding Dresses, Bridal Gowns, and the Bride Category . Truth be told, there is no real difference between the Bridal Gown and Wedding Dress category, I just never know what people prefer to call it. The “bride” category also includes accessories, bridal shower, and reception dresses, so that’s your best bet for finding all the dresses and wedding details you need! Visit Wedding Dresses, Bridal Gowns, or posts just for Brides.

2. The Collection
The Collection is where I’ve linked you to the sites of some of my favorite bridal designers. This way, you can see all of their collections and newest options, not just the dresses I’ve featured. I hope to be adding more designers, soon, too! Find Top Bridal Designers in The Collection.
3. Bridal Picks
Since this is a shoppable blog, I have also picked some of the ready-to-wear bridal styles that you can purchase directly (and often exclusively) from retailers like Ann Taylor, J.Crew, Shopbop, and Nordstrom. Sometimes buying a wedding gown online can be risky ( couture or designer gowns will only be available through their approved boutiques), but these respected retailers make it easy and safe to do because of their reputations. This is a great option if you need a dress in a hurry, want a lower price point, or want a destination-style gown. Browse Wedding Dresses and Accessories to Buy.
Since you may be looking for dresses for your bridesmaids, your mother, your flower girls, your groom and groomsmen, I have those as 3 options too! Here’s how to get where you need to go!
