    I'm not going with either of those colors (I decided on the 'blush' from the Vera line), but I thought I'd ask if you've actually gone and looked at the colors in the store? They looked VERY different to me in person than online. So if you haven't gone and looked already, doing that may help you with your decision!

    I chose Petal for my ladies. They all looked lovely.

    You can often find real life pics on resale sites

    This is a comment I found on another site:

    "I don’t have a pictures, but I work at David’s Bridal, and this is how I usually describe the difference to my brides:

    Petal is David’s take on blush, it’s a lighter shade of pink that matches up to the blush trend.

    Ballet is a vibrant light pink, it is definitely pink and not blush.

    Both colors appear more vibrant on satin, and lighter on chiffon."

    Yes I went there and I originally liked the petal online but I had a bridesmaid try it on and the color really didn't compliment her fair skin tone!

    What a good idea to look on resale sites! Thank you for the suggestion, going to hop on Poshmark now Smiley smile

    I also really liked the ice blue color. The only problem is I'm having the guys wear navy suits/brown shoes. Do you think it would be too much blue? Has anyone done this ice blue/navy combination? Sorry I'm just having trouble finding good inspiration on Pinterest right now!

    Navy and ice blue would look great. This is not David's Bridal ice blue, but it may help you visualize the look.

    We went with the petal color for our bridesmaids. It looked good on all the skin tones(redhead, pale, tan, brunette). I also thought the Ballet was pretty, but personally liked the softer color. It's really up to your preference.

    Agree that ice blue and navy look very pretty together, IMO. If you're really wanting a pink, another DB pink to consider is Cameo, it's a more dusty rose color that was pretty on both my fair and deep skin-toned BMs.

    Here's a pic from online of Cameo next to Petal, just for another idea. Smiley smile

    Have fun shopping!

    @laura wow! I didn't realize the cameo was a pink! It does not look pink on the website. I guess I need to go back to the store and look again. I had decided on ballet but I think I like that better..
