Bridesmaid Dress Help!

Hi everyone.

We have always envisioned a somewhat deep (but not too deep) red/burgundy for our wedding.
Through the planning process we have learned that it is a RARE color to find for bridesmaid dresses. The reds are either bright red, purpley-wine-like, too deep, etc. There doesn't seem to be any places I know that sell a nice deep, pure red.
First, we tried David's Bridal Apple. The apple swatch is firetruck red. Nope Then, we tried Azazie Burgundy. The swatch was a bit purpley somehow, but the sample dress is just a tad darker than DB Apple.Next up was Azazie Cabernet. WAAAY too dark and slightly wine-toned than what we would like.Local places do not carry anything other than the deep wines or the bright red either.
We are running out of time for bridesmaid dress decisions. Does anyone know of any easy, reputable places to get a color like this? I'll post an example of a desired tone below:

This is Azazie burgundy. Not actually dark red like a burgundy should be, but better than DB.

Azazie Cabernet. Too dark. Not a fan of any purpleish/pinkish tones.

Hi Sarah,
Take a look at jjshouse, style 105912, I'm putting my bridesmaids in the lilac color, and I'm wearing the lavender color as my second dress, if you click in the color box, all the choices come up, the burgundy is the 5th one in from the left, many of their dresses come in 45 colors, hopefully you find what your looking for, good luck!!!

Yes, I've purchased 3 evening gowns previously from them and I've loved them all, my girlfriend used them for her bridesmaids dresses and told me about them, and I've been very happy!

I’m not sure if you looked into Lulu’s yet, but that color is pretty close to the color I had for my bridesmaids. We did this dress from Lulu’s: https://www.lulus.com/products/angel-in-disguise-burgundy-lace-skater-dress/524142.html
The product photo looks a purplish, but the actual dress is closer to the shade you are looking for (I included an unedited photo so you can see the color in outdoor light). They have a maxi dress version:

But they also have other styles that are a little more traditional bridesmaid styles:https://www.lulus.com/categories/1818/burgundy.html

This is the dress my bridesmaids are wearing in burgundy! Not sure if that’s the shade you mean or not!

I actually got mine off of forever 21. I'm MOH for my bestie this year and she wanted us to have a rich red. Not like Xmas red but not too dark either.

Did you try Lulus? They have some deep red colors. Even some not in the “bridesmaid” section. Also, Baltic Born has a nice variety of colors and fabrics, including some nice reds.
