Bridesmaid Dresses... the drama.

I fell in love with a pale pink bridesmaid color - somewhere between pink and peach; like a pale coral. Bridesmaids worry it will be too pale for their pale complexion. I can't find another color I like... I want it soft. My fiance agreed to the color but he's thinking they will all look pale too....

I fell in love with a pale pink bridesmaid color - somewhere between pink and peach; like a pale coral. Bridesmaids worry it will be too pale for their pale complexion. I can't find another color I like... I want it soft. My fiance agreed to the color but he's thinking they will all look pale too. He's amazing - if I said I want it, he'd be fine with it.... But, no one being 100% is weighing on me. On top of it, the bridesmaids are all in different states. So, I need an online solution or to find one here and have them call in measurements. I'm letting them pick their own style... It's on me for the color. My girls are wild and you have no idea what telling them to pick would leave me with ... lol!

Help a stressed out bride with ideas? Vendors, colors, online sites... please help....

    That was a concern with my girls but I'm sticking with my petal pink and they look good in my opinion. The girls were worried about looking washed out in the pictures. Azazie seems have best price, selection, and availability.

    Azazie - that’s who we used. Just make sure they all order within 24 hours and reference your name so it’s in the same dye lot. (Check the site you’ll get more details). We also asked our girls to pick chiffon dresses. Varying fabrics look different even as the same color and dye lot. Good luck!

    Yes! My girls ordered from there and the quality is amazing! If your worried about it you can order one to try on for like $10.00 so you can check the quality and color before hand!

    My bridesmaids were in a light purple / iris color. We were all worried about looking pale or washed out but they agreed to get spray tans before the wedding. I honestly think everybody looked great, and would still have without a tan! Don’t stress about it too much, if they love you they will sacrifice their own insecurities to make your day as special as it should be.

    I’ll tell you what my mom told me the other day about my bridesmaids and their dresses because I couldn’t decide. She said “it’s YOUR day, they are there to support YOU. They’ll wear whatever you want them to wear. Also, no one pays attention to the bridesmaids. All eyes will be on you.” So there you have it. It’s YOUR day. The can suck it up and wear a pink/peach/coral dress for 5-8 hours.

    I love my bridesmaids and they love me. I just really want everyone in a good mood and happy vibe, rather than worried. They have all said they'd wear anything with bells on... I'm glad that this worry is normal and perhaps more of a big deal in my head. I think the pressure to make this wonderful for everyone got to me. I love the Azazie dresses! I will look into the others too - and even better Azazie even has shades between those at David's Bridal - so I feel like I have more options to tweak the shade rather than change the color.

    I have worn pale pink as Bridesmaid and not only do I hate the color, it looks so bad on me (I am pale too). That being said, it NEVER crossed my mind to even question it or even have it as a concern at the time. I was just so excited my friend was getting married and thought it was amazing I was a bridesmaid and she was thoughtful enough to let us choose what kind of style we wanted. Honestly, until the wedding was over and I had a pale pink dress I would never wear again was the only time I even thought twice about it.

    It is your wedding and your theme and colors when they have theirs they can pick whatever they want and I am sure you would be supportive of them.

    My friend had us get our dresses through azazie. It’s pretty cheap and easy to use. Bridesmaids can try on dresses for $10 each before buying a style. The color palate has a wide variety but not the muted coral I’m looking for. Would love to hear what others recommend!

    Check Azazie. They have a ton of color options and you can get free color swatches. They also have hundreds of dress styles for your girls to choose from. That being said, this is your wedding. You pick the color that you want and let that be the end of it. This is not their wedding. They can choose a different color when it is their day Smiley smile
