Bridesmaid dresses

So I would like for the bridesmaids to have all the same dresses, style and color. The only place I know that has affordable dresses and not online is David's Bridal (I'm in East TN). I'd really like to see the dresses in person on someone before choosing because I'm afraid if I pick online I may not like it. I've been debating for a while on whether I want to have just my MOH try on dresses or to bring all the bridesmaids (3+MOH) to try them on. I know this is ultimately my decision and I know I have time (however I'd like to pick them out so the girls have time to save for it or order it timely). Just looking for opinions/suggestions/experiences on trying bridesmaid dresses on!

If you're going to make everyone wear the same dress, I would want to see it on each person to make sure that it's flattering and comfortable for everyone, not just your MOH.

I used Azazie, I'm very happy with them. Yes, it's online, but it was was easier for everyone. Plus they offer sample dresses for a week to try on or see color before.

You should definitely have more than one person unless they have the same body type because they could all have such different body types it would look so different in all of them

Azazie is online, but they let you try 3 dresses at a time for $10. or you can order color swatches. I agree with PP that I would want to make sure the dresses look nice on everyone, not just your MOH.

Also, don't be afraid to try department stores. I got my bridesmaids dresses (Calvin Klein, long, chiffon, gold embellishment) at Macy's for about $60 each. You don't have to just stick to "bridal" stores!

Thanks! That's one thought I had, about the dress looking and feeling different on everyone.

I did think of that in the beginning and for some reason it slipped my mind. I will definitely look at some of those stores, thank you!

My girls got their bridesmaid dresses at David's Bridal and they are all wearing the same dress except for the maid of honor who chose a different style in the same color. I did not ask them to pick the same dress, I told them to pick whatever style they liked in a particular color and fabric but they ended up choosing the same dress. I would highly recommend all the girls trying the dress on because you never know how a dress is going to fit until it is on. You also want your VIPs to feel comfortable and confident on your wedding day.

I also recommend Azazie! Their try at home program is very helpful in seeing the dresses before you buy from an online store! Plus the quality and price are unbeatable! They also offer a custom sizing option for free which cuts down on alteration costs for your bridesmaids!
I'm so happy I chose azazie for my bridesmaids dresses!

I second this. Azazie is amazing and each girl can get her own custom size.

I'm having all my bridesmaids wear the same dress as well. I plan on dept store gowns. I can find one I like at a decent price. I just don't want a "bridesmaid" looking type of dress if that makes sense!
