Blue(dusty, slate, or steel) Bridesmaid Dresses

I am going bridesmaid dress shopping at Davids bridal with my girls tomorrow and I have told them to keep an open mind, because I won't know what it looks like till in person. I was thinking grey and blue , but not I am thinking just blue which I have told them "I am leaning towards just one color but we will see, please keep an open mind". I have told them the fabric and silhouette will need to be the same(and color) no slit, but the top part can differ from the other girls.

I am worried and have anxiety about this tomorrow, because I am still confused of the shade of blue I would like, Its more like a dusty blue but some other places call it steel blue or slate blue and it gets confusing honestly. I have looked at real weddings on wedding wire and saw very beautiful shades:

    David's actually has a really pretty gray-blue hues. Dusty blue, steel blue, and slate blue are all really pretty, and they'd all work well together if you like the mismatched bridesmaids dress trend. If I had to pick a color off the rack from David's to wear myself I'd probably pick one of those. The online colors for these three blues are more accurate than most David's colors (David's pink/coral/mauve/champagne dresses look totally different in person, but the blues are quite similar).

    Don't stress, just go to the store and look at them in person and pick the one(s) you like!

    Yes! I was actually surprised that they all were able to find a dress. I had a plan B to order from Lulus but not a lot of my girls liked to buy without trying them on first lol. I made the decision to just go for the blue color not grey and let them choose a style that we agree on of course. One pinterest was an amazing dusty blue color but The Davids Bridal dusty blue was soo different. Their Steel blue was closer to the color. In person their steel blue is a bit lighter than the what shows online too lol
