hi, everyone! this is ashley of fashion and style blog ashley nicole catherine. i'm super excited to be doing a post swap with jillian today! we're both recently engaged and we're both getting married in chicago next year. how fun is that?? we've been having fun talking about wedding plans, especially wedding colors and bridesmaid dresses.




since i already settled on dresses for my bridesmaids, i asked jillian if i could put together some picks for her girls. jillian is thinking blushes and pinks for a color palette and wants to keep the dresses under $175. lucky bridesmaids, huh? here are my affordable pink picks!

1,2,3,4,5,6,7
  
thanks for having me jillian and hope to see a few new faces at ashley nicole catherine!

I think I like the 2nd to last (depending on what shade of blush you're going for). Can't wait to see what you pick!

Ooo I love these colors! How pretty!

MyStyleVita said...

Those are all great and inexpensive picks! I think it would even be nice if a bride used a palette and used several different colors within it. Mix and match some of those in a similar color and similar shape, it would be a unique touch to the typical awful bridesmaids dresses. Great post

carolyn said...

oh my, i love this color. the very first dress is my favorite :) excellent choices!

April of A. Liz Adventures said...

The first Zara dress is my absolute, hands-down fave! I just got married and also wanted inexpensive dresses for my b'maids. I chose a gorgeous grey Anthro dress that some girls got for $128 and some got on 50% sale for $64! Not too shabby, right?!

Mo Pie, Please said...

Great post, Ashley! I love the idea of mixing the different shades of pink and blush together!

Liz Stanley said...

great color! love that rose bottom left one. bridemaids could rock that!

birdie to be said...

I like the one at the bottom of the first board! So chic. And comfy looking!

Jacque said...

2, 3, and 5 are my favorites!! All of them are great picks and very affordable!

Clara said...

These are all great picks! While the style of dress the bride wants is important, it's also nice to consider how the dresses will look on your beautiful friends. Recently, I've though that the idea of bridesmaids with different dress styles in like colors is pretty nice and allows them to show personality.

cailen ascher said...

loving those pink dresses. mostly b/c they're not "girly" pink. blush, dusty rose, awesome!

Krystal said...

I love her blog :) and this post, the dresses are so pretty!!!

(p.s. i'm sorry i haven't been by in a few days, we've been traveling with friends who are visiting, june is way too crazy for me. thanks for visiting though, your comments always make me happy!!! have a nice night :))

Vintage is for Lovers said...

Love your color choices. I especially love the more coral colors, as opposed to the light pinks! And how fun to have someone who is celebrating and planning at the same time and in the same place! xo Samantha

Heidi Lyn said...

Gorgeous colors! Have you thought of having lovely blush pinks in different shades on your girls? Different shades and pretty dresses for everyone. You could actually wear these again.

Dancing Branflake said...

I adore blush! It's my favorite shade of pink. These are all so beautiful.

I love 4. I feel like it's the kind of cut that would flatter almost any shape. Perfect for bridesmaids!

Val said...

Gorgeousness!!

Jennifer said...

so so so beautiful!!!!!

Drew {Coral Cafe} said...

#2 is my favorite!! Such a pretty style and fabric! That color is gorgeous too!

My aunt has a bridal shop so she usually lets us get a good discount from there! Otherwise, I'd probably say Jcrew...when they're on sale of course! ;)

A gorgeous palette! My favourite is the first one, I'm loving the details on it. :)Ada

Katie said...
