I am getting married in October and really wanted a DEEP Burgundy color for my bridesmaids dresses. Every site I have been on to order dresses, they look different in brighter or darker settings obviously (I have been looking at their "real wedding" photos vs studio lighting. I really don't want a bright red or fuchsia color. Anyone else having these dress dilemmas? I almost want to change my color completely, but the only other color I like is mauve and I don't feel it is fitting for October

Help!

I brought my bridesmaids dresses from CocoMelody and their Twany Port is perfect. This is a bad photo, but this is Twany Port in tulle. It's a deep, rich burgundy.

P.S. CocoMelody's online swatch for Twany Port looks purplish. It is the only true deep burgundy in their colors, unless they've added a new color. I highly recommend swatches. If you order swatches, they mark your customer number so you get the dye lot of the swatch you've received. We did custom sizing and all fit perfectly. Our dresses were in my hands 12 days after ordering.

Always order fabric swatches from the dress companies. Also don’t get hung up on the color name because every single manufacturer has their own color name that is not consistent with the rest. One company’s wine is another’s Bordeaux or berry and so on, while the same names will be entirely different shades.

Azazie and Cocomelody have the same color/name swatches

See if you can order swatch’s of the colors. Azazie does a really awesome sampler and it let me figure out just what color to pick for my girls. They actually picked the exact color but that’s besides the point lol.
