PLUM bridesmaid dresses

Meant to be Busby, on July 10, 2016 at 7:20 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 13

Im allowing my BMs to pick their own dresses as long as they are all long and plum colored (as in the DB color plum). My younger sister recently got out of a rehab facility for an eating disorder so not only is it going to be trying for her, she feels that DB dresses are too expensive considering she hasnt worked in 3 months. She doesn't want to order one of the cheaper ones from online unless it's a last resort, in case it doesn't fit or she doesn't like it.

I was just wondering if anyone knew of any places that sells dresses in plum, identical to the plum color at Davids Bridal? I thought I might suggest some places to her and give her a color swatch if I can figure it out.

    I don't know if the color is identical, but try Azazie's web site. Comparing colors online can't be accurately done.

    Why not offer to buy her dress at DB if she is having financial trouble?

    I tried Amaze for wisteria compared to DB wisteria and they were not the same but their sample swatches are free so you can give it a go.

    I'd have her go into a few DB stores and check the clearance section, one of my BM got her dress for $30 doing that

    HouseofAllen, I did... she doesn't want me to but if she can't find one then I will offer again.

    HouseOfAllen, it is! I've been in her shoes as well, and I can't see my special day without her so she will have to let me assist her if it comes down to it! Smiley winking Since she's arguing about it though, I thought I might try to find somewhere a little less expensive if possible

    I know ebay and amazon has David bridal dresses and sometmes there cheaper then the ones from the store, and i had the same issue with one of mine cause she was out of state and she wanted to pay for it and money was a issue, so when she went to the dress fitting and she gave me name they put her sizes in the account, so i order her the dress cause i got her size, and i said i really need you to be here at our wedding, and i am buy your dress and your shoes and i do not want them money back, i just want you here as i tied the knot, and finally agree to wear the db dress cause she said they do not fit right, and there too long, and i said we are gonna have them hemmed but not from db we went to someone else instead,

    try ebay or amazon, and used or cheap bridesmaids gowns, and if you download the app you can unlock rewards and coupons cause once i bought my wedding dress there i got to unlock 20.00 to 30.00 off each bm dress, and check those facebook buy and sell wedding groups sometimes they sell nice bm dresses cheap, cause my colors was iris from david bridal and they have another color liliac that was so close to my color, but check different sites and maybe you will find it cheaper

    My BM's used a coupon that I found online by googling "David's Bridal Coupons." They get a $160 dress for $130 with free shipping. They tried the dress on in store, ordered online and have their own seamstress for alterations (who is way cheaper than DB).

    Check the clearance rack in the stores, you might get lucky. Otherwise check bridal consignment stores, the plum color at David's Bridal is popular she may be able to find something.
