Be ready for romance (or just look that way)
I don’t do a lot of pink, by which I mean I don’t talk much about pink gear, and I don’t wear much of it, either. I used to be a pink fanatic, but sometime in the last year, I overhauled my wardrobe and jettisoned almost everything that wasn’t black or brown. But while I went with brown bridesmaids, it’s not everyone’s first choice — especially for an outdoorsy, summertime fête.
Pink is generally associated with romance — think pink roses, pink lips, and so on — so, unsurprisingly, it works its way into plenty of wedding palettes. If you plan on outfitting your bridal party in a lighthearted and almost casual pink, or even plan on donning pink to go to the summery wedding of a friend or loved one, the four dresses below may delight and inspire.
Traveling clockwise, they are a Shoshanna pink embroidered floral trellis strapless dress, an Elie Tahari pink crushed velvet ‘Rina’ dress
, an Alexia Admor pink mesh v-neck belted dress
, and a Tracy Reese pink embroidered ‘Resort’ silk slip dress
. They aren’t too flashy, but they aren’t frumpy, either. And they are all extremely re-wearable, so you’ll never have to worry that they will end up in the back corner of a dark closet, unworn and unloved.
I like the pink dresses. For my brother’s wedding, the bridesmaids wore a pretty pink salmon dress in this style http://www.billlevkoff.com/collections/index.asp (type 240) with a black edging and a keyhole slip. It was really cute.
Sounds lovely, beeble!
Baby pink (and pastels in general) dresses are extremely hard to pull off if you’re not stick thin. Thank you for including different shades. I find that baby pink also has a tendency to make a lot of people look washed out.
Since I can’t wear it, I just stick to having accessories of baby pink. And I promise there won’t be any Hello Kitty involved.
