Bridesmaids Dresses

After a trip to David's Bridal with my bridesmaids we found a few styles of dresses that the girls liked. I have found out that depending on which designer we go with will determine the exact shade of purple the dresses will be. Each designer has their own colour palette and the same colour name may not actually be the same colour or fabric. Originally I thought I would like all the bridesmaids in the same dress style but after seeing all of the girls in different styles I think I might not care anymore. I don't think they would be impressed with me posting pictures of them in the dresses they tried on so I have found the dresses online which shows the colours they would be available in anyway. 

The dress that I have liked from the moment I saw it in a magazine, that no one has yet to try on, is still on the table. I love the look of it but until I can see it on at least one of my bridesmaids I really can't decide if I will love it for our wedding day. http://www.jlmcouture.com/Jim-Hjelm-Occasions/Bridesmaid/Additional/Style-5001

The dress that all the girls tried on and liked is below. It looked nice on all of them however I don't know if I love it... I think although they all looked beautiful there were certain styles that suited each girl better. The only shade of purple this dress comes in is "Plum" and I prefer the "Lapis" shade. http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Strapless-Flat-Taffeta-Bubble-Hem-Short-Dress-81255_Bridal-Party-Bridesmaids-Shop-By-Color

This dress was tried on by three of the girls. It looked really good on all of them and I liked it much better then the style above. This dress comes in the "Lapis" shade. I like this dress because I feel like it is more unique then the style above. http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Short-Strapless-Satin-Peplum-Dress-84629_Bridal-Party-Features-New-Arrivals

The following dress was liked by all the girls except Hayley. They did all try it on but again I think although they all looked beautiful there were certain styles that suited each girl better. This dress comes in the "Lapis" shade. I like the dress above a little bit more. http://www.davidsbridal.com/Product_Short-Satin-Dress-with-Pleated-Bust-and-Ruching-F13277_Bridal-Party-Bridesmaids-Shop-By-Color

There were many more dresses tried on however these were narrowed down from the most liked of what David's Bridal had to offer. There will be many more dress outings and hopefully will find something they each are excited to wear and love. Would love to hear feedback and suggestions.

  1. Love the strapless "Lapis" dress with ruching and cinched waist. Very simple but elegant. Very wearable for future occasions. AJ
