I really don’t want my bridesmaids paying a ton of money for dresses they’re only going to be wearing for a few hours and probably never again. I really want them in long, flowy dresses for my September wedding and I am wanting a dark red without it looking purple. can’t find the exact shade I want in stores quite yet. I am asking my WW brides for help if you can attach any links to websites for cheaper dresses or share your personal experiences. I am attaching an example of style and color of the dresses. Hopeing you guys can help me identify the color I am looking for and some dresses for my BM’s! (They don’t have to be strapless I am allowing them to choose their own design as long as length, color, and material are the same)

Azazies's burgundy is what my girls are wearing.. not sure if it's the deep red you're looking for though. Azazie is super easy too! I created a showroom with about 80 dresses that I liked and that ranged in price starting at $109 (I asked my girls their budgets, so that definitely helped!). The dresses in the showroom were all same color, material, length, and with no embellishments. The girls all picked a style that worked for them and was within their budget. Super easy!

Lol I ran into very similar issues! David's "apple" was just too red for what I was looking for and like you said the purple was too purple.. some shops said "ohh like marsala?" but again, too purple-y and/maroon.. I ordered the swatch too from azazie and it really is a beautiful color and I've ordered through them myself for a wedding I was in, so it was a win-win for my situation.

I needed to find long dresses, in sizes 0-20, that would be flattering on many shapes and complexions, for under $100. It. Was. TOUGH. Found this one through AlicePub on Amazon, and it was only $70. Good variety of colors available, too.
Cocomelody.com also has some pretty dresses for about $100

Check out lulus. Also Azazie is nice. You can order color swatches from them for 2 dollars. I’m also doing red so I ordered Burgundy and red to figure out which one is best. I’m definitly thinking burgundy will be my choice though.

Lulus or Azazies if you are looking to order online. My girls got dresses at David's Bridal from the formalwear section for $79.99 and they are amazing!

If you don't need them all to wear the exact same dress you could try sites like Poshmark or ThredUp to purchase something lightly used. I saw bridesmaid dresses on ThredUp that looked brand new for around $30 plus you can often use coupons.

Ever Pretty on Amazon has been mentioned in quite a few previous threads.
Burgundy is a very dark red- think wine.

I'm going through Azazie. I'm choosing sky blue, long length, chiffon fabric. The girls have around 120 options in that fabric, length, and color starting at $99 and going to $159.

Hi Desiree! I would definitely recommend Lulu's! How's your search been coming along? Have you been able to find any dresses?

Asos.com ! I just ordered dresses for my bridesmaids on there for $24 each, free shipping and returns. They are just as good of quality as dresses I have worn from David's Bridal for about 1/5 the cost. I am planning to use the money the girls saved to ask them to buy matching shoes. Mine are tea length, but they do have floor length as well for around $40-50
