Davids Bridal Petal VS. Bellini

Chelsea, on June 13, 2016 at 1:08 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

Hello everyone Smiley smile

I'm getting married in March and have found the dress style from David's Bridal that I want the girls to wear, but am having some trouble deciding. Our theme is Arizona Sunset and our colors are Coral and Gold.

I am trying to decide between one of the following:

1. All Coral Reef

2. Half Coral Reef and half Petal

3. Half Coral Reef and half Bellini

Does anyone have any professional wedding photos of those choices they can post? I'm scared petal will seem way to soft in photos, but also scared Bellini will seem mismatched to coral in professional photos. When I hold them next to coral in store, they look great. Problem is when I take photos they appear so different.

Any opinions out of those color options? We are doing a long bridesmaid dress with the illusion neckline.

Thank you for any opinions!! FH chooses #3. I'm just not sure!

    I'd say option #3 just from looking at the website- do you have pictures of all the dresses next to each other you could post?

    This is coral and petal. Right here it looks more pink then it actually did on the bridesmaids. On them it is a lot softer and in photos looks closer to white then pink. When petal is next to another color it's fine. It's just on its own it looks very pale pink.

    How many BMs do you have? Would all three look good together? I am obsessed with the ombré BM trend lol, maybe have them in multiple hues?

    I vote Coral and Bellini based on those pictures. I do agree with Chelsea though- maybe you could do all three?

    I went with petal for my bridesmaids. It's a very nice soft pink and looks even better in person.

    This is from a wedding I was in that used both of the colors. Bellini is in the middle. Petal is the two light pinks.

    I agree that all 3 colors would look great together if you have 3 or 6 (or 9!) bridesmaids. Or if you have 4 BM's and one MOH (or something of the like) you could do 2 colors for the BM's and then a 3rd color for the MOH.

    I think the petal pink is one of those colors that can look different depending on the other colors around it... I feel like it's adaptable to both cool tones and warm tones... It will go with both Coral and Bellini just fine! I do think that if you use Petal you should try to use Bellini with it... Only Coral and Petal together seems like a little too much contrast (to me).

    I vote all 3 colors! Smiley smile

    But I think I like less contrast of Coral/Bellini if you're only picking two.

    I am loving these opinions. Thank you and thank you Deb for posting your photo! I have eight bridesmaids (ridiculous number I know lol). I do like how ombre looks and it can be gorgeous. However, I think we want to keep it at just two colors. I am going back to Davids' (again!) tonight. So hopefully I can make a decision!

    I like the Coral and Bellini. I feel like they compliment each other more than the Petal. I may be biased because we almost chose Bellini for our color though Smiley smile

    Hey everyone!

    I just wanted to thank everyone for their opinions and throwing out options. We have decided on Coral and Bellini. =) David's bridal didn't have the correct dress in the correct colors otherwise I would post a photo.

    For any other brides who might be looking at this, the reason I chose Bellini is because in photos it still lightens but does not look close to white at all. Where as the Petal (with an iphone Camera anyways) appeared VERY light. I wanted to notice their colors in photos.

    My girls get their dresses before August. I will try to remember to update with photos. =)

    Thanks everyone!
