HELP ! How to get bridesmaid dresses in the same shade!

wifeytobejuly17, on January 4, 2017 at 12:35 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 24

I got engaged two weeks ago and we decided on July 1st for our wedding in our home state as we already had a trip planned. My bridesmaids are all from our home state (we live in Texas they live in Wisconsin) and I need ideas on where they can get their dresses! I have found Azazie and we recently went to David's Bridal and were told they all have to order dresses like NOW in order to get them for the wedding! 2-3 of my bridesmaids are currently saving up for their dresses so I am reluctant to make them all get the same shade from David's bridal. Also ALL ROYAL BLUE is different at like every company! GAH! Help ! I need ideas. Lots and lots of ideas! any help would be great! thank you!!!!

    Hi Kristina, welcome to WW! Make sure to upload a picture for your avatar (instead of the default icons) so that we can get to know you and tell you apart from all the other posters.

    It sounds like you've got a few different options here! You could have half your bridesmaids buy the current dress from David's Bridal and get color fabric swatches of the dress so you can compare in person and find a matching shade, you can wait and order all of the dresses through Azazie in the same color (their dresses don't take as long to order), or you could mix it up and have your bridesmaids in few different shades of blue so you don't drive yourself crazy about exact color matching!

    Also - check out Lulu's for bridesmaids dresses! Really pretty dresses that are much more reasonably priced Smiley smile

    My bridesmaids all got theirs from azazie and they love them! They're all the same shade of navy and each girl got a different dress that matches her own style.

    I just ordered my bridesmaid dress from davids bridal for a wedding I am in in June and it just shipped. So I'm sure you will be fine if you pick out a color and then have the girls order them online.

    In my experience, DB gives you the worst case scenario so they don't get it wrong. I was told that my dress would come in 3 months but it was actually at the store in 3 weeks.

    They told you so far in advance in case the dress they are ordering isn't in stock in one of the warehouse and it has to be made, or if one of the girls needs extra length, those are always made to order. So all of them except 1 or 2 could show up in 3 weeks, but it it needs to be made it will be 16-18 weeks depending on if it is extra length or not

    Azazie is the best! You can also put a rush on it. I told my girls to do long and grape.

    Congrats! I was going to order my BM dress at DB but found them on Amazon for like $30. (I am using two shades of purple) my BM loved them, got to us quick (I planned my wedding in 4 months) and only one of them had to get it altered. Good luck!

    As long as they all order the same color from the same brand/designer, they should match.

    We used weddingtonway way and they standardize the color across the site, so even if they are in different dress, they are all the same shadeSmiley smile

    If you are using different styles make sure they are from the same manufacturer or the dresses may not match. They also need to be the same fabric! Chiffon in navy looked way different than the satin from the same company. DB also likes to tell people that they must order NOWWWWWWW so you will by from them.

    All my girls are ordering the same dress and color from David's bridal and we haven't had any issues. Pick the same designer or order swatches and you should be fine. Yay date twin!

    Try Union Station. You can pick the dress and the color. It'll give your bridesmaids the option of renting it for like $75 or buying it. They send out 2 different sizes (the size they choose & a size bigger) just to be safe & they pay for return shipping (if they rent). Also they take care of the dry cleaning, so they don't have to worry about cleaning it before returning it. All you have to do is enter all your bridesmaids email addresses on there site once you register & they will send out emails & let them know what dress you picked along with the color & it's on your bridesmaids from there. They also inform you when one of your girls have ordered their dress! I think it's pretty easy & convenient in my opinion. They have lots of different styles & colors too!!

    For DB it depends on the dress some say quick ship some just come regular shipping but fast then they also have some dresses that take months...my BM ordered their Horizon blue dress from DB it will take a few months because its a special color for that maker but my MOH dress in Horizon blue took less than 3 weeks and was on sale for $30 Horizon blue is like Royal Blue at DB!
