So I’ll put the picture we’re using as our color scheme at the bottom for reference. I keep trying to find these colors and I settled on liking Wisteria and Dusty Sage from Azazie, but now I feel like there’s no dimensions to my colors.

I have 4 girls standing up with me and I don’t want the colors to be too choppy, so I was thinking my MOH in a darker purple and the BM’s in a lighter shade. But I can’t find anything I like! Plum and Grape are too dark, Tahiti looks like the wrong shade to me and doesn’t match Wisteria, and Dusk and Fog just look like they have no color at all and are so grey. I have swatches of Wisteria, Dusty Sage, and the Gold, so I know the colors on the site are very true to what you see in person. What do I do?

I looked at Iris and Wisteria from DB and they seem like more of what I want, but I don’t know about going with DB for the girls dresses because I really didn’t like the experience I had in store with them when I tried on dresses for myself.

I’m so stuck ☹️

    Azazie offers swatch samples as well.

    I'm sorry you had a bad experience at DB, I found that going during the week is best since it's not so busy.

    I have 3 swatches from Azazie

    My problem with DB was actually the opposite, I went on a weekday night and had the last appointment they have available, and the girl was totally devoted to us but kept pushing me to make a purchase right then and there. It was really frustrated when FH and I are very budget-oriented people and I needed to decide if I wanted to spend that much money on a dress.

    Oh no! That just sounds like a bad consultant, I'm so sorry.

    Yeah, it ended up kind of souring the experience for me. I've only heard good things about Azazie, but I'm so wishy-washy on the colors that I don't know what to do.

    I’m so torn because I feel like I want the dimension of my MOH in Wisteria with my BMs in another shade of purple but when I look at Dusk it’s just so gray to me and Fog is just a little lighter but still so gray

    I really like Wisteria, I just wish there was another shade that was slightly darker instead of just jumping straight to the Plum and Grape, which are so dark to me. And Tahiti just doesn't match at all and I don't like the color.

    These are all the purple shades on Azazie and I feel like none of them really go together

    I looked at David’s bridal too but they only have like 3 purples and none of my girls are close together so online is the best. I looked at Birdy Grey but they only have mauve, no purples.

    I ordered some purple swatches from Azazie and I will echo that Dusk is very colorless IRL, even though some of Azazie's pictures on instagram make it look more purplish. If you haven't already, I recommend going to Azazie's "real weddings" page (https://www.azazie.com/real-weddings) and see what others have mixed wisteria with (I've seen it paired with grape pretty often) as well as their Instagram.

    P.S. More often than not, the bridesmaid dress colors get super filtered anyways through the photographer's edits, so those darker colors might turn out great for the pictures!

    This was so helpful! I think ultimately I might just have them all in Wisteria with different styles and such so it's not completely the same but I still have a little diversity.

    Great idea! I’m doing the same because Wisteria is amazing all on its own Smiley smile

    Hi, following because I’m having the exact same dilemma right now! I ordered swatches from azazie in the purple family because I wanted to do the same mixed bridesmaids thing (I’m going for more mauve and lavender , see the picture I attached). Fell in love with wisteria , but the other colors from there just don’t seem to go with it the way I want to (the lavender actually looked light blue!). I may end up just taking this picture to a bridal shop and seeing what they have to offer. I also have two out of state bridesmaids , so I’m concerned with them not being able to find the dress where they are.
