Bridesmaid's dresses

redhead3, on December 17, 2019 at 12:40 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

We're getting married June 2020!! I'm really loving this "sky blue" or "Carolina blue" color. I think it looks very elegant, but I'm also nervous because I don't want it to turn into a "Tiffany blue" type thing. I haven't been to David's Bridal yet, but on their website the color blues don't really look like what I want. Azazie has more of a variety but I'm hesitant to have my bridesmaids order something online. Any recommendations!? Where did you shop for BM dresses? How did you keep this blue elegant?

    My bridesmaids got theirs from David's Bridal, but it was only because I had a store credit from returning my first dress that I needed to use to by another dress. Otherwise I would have had them order from Azazie, which is where I even ended up getting my wedding dress! I love their options of trying on at home, but it honestly isn't even necessary (aside from just wanting to see the style in person) with Azazie's free custom sizing option. Azazie will also reimburse you for alterations up to a certain amount for custom sized dresses. Highly recommend them if they have the color you really want!

    I used azazie and they turned out perfect! But I also had one of my bridesmaids get the try on dress between a couple of colors to see in person to see which one I liked better. I don’t regret getting them off that website. I felt like it was such a breeze in doing it that way so they can also pick a style that worked well on them. I would definitely order the try at home dresses to see how you like them.

    I am using Azazie for my bridesmaid dresses. I recommend also ordering samples of the colors because every color any look different on a screen compared to in person. I ordered 3 colors from Azazie and 2 from David's Bridal. I ended up choosing Azaize.

    We also used Azazie and couldn’t have been happier. If you’re concerned about sizing, samples can be ordered for $10 to try on. They also have a FREE custom sizing option which is amazing.

    We are using Azazie for our blue bridesmaid dresses. The colors look completely different online- so definitely order swatches to compare. I ordered "mist" and "sky blue" but preferred the mist as it's more subtle.

    My girls are doing the sky blue from Azazie! The color is beautiful in person and does not look like a tiffany blue. The boys are wearing navy and we're doing a lot of greenery with white and some shades of pink in the bouquets.

    I just have to say that the swatches on David's Bridal's website are not even close to accurate. I want a dusty pink for my bridesmaids dresses and David's Bridal's "ballet" is almost spot on in person but looks absolutely horrible and washed out on their website.

    I'd definitely recommend paying a little extra to order swatches of the colors you are considering. David's, Azazie, and JJ's House all will ship you swatches of any color/fabric you want, and each swatch usually costs only a couple dollars. Well worth it if you are particular about color and don't have the chance to see the dresses in person.

    I ordered swatches from azazie yesterday! So I'm looking forward to seeing the colors in person. It's so hard to tell from a picture!

    That's exactly the kind of pallet I'm aiming for as well! Sky blue with navy, green and blush accents.
