Where did you buy your bridesmaid dresses?

SPF, on March 8, 2017 at 11:37 AM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 31

I couldn't find another discussion on here about this, so I figured I'd start one!

I have three bridesmaids, and I want them all to be wearing the same dress (navy blue, floor-length - it might be chilly out.) The groomsmen and my FH will be wearing navy tuxes. Our accent colors, as of right now, are gold/champagne, and we might be popping a little bit of burgundy in there somewhere in the centerpieces/flowers.

Any advice on where I can find some cheap bridesmaids dresses in navy? I saw a website called weddingtonway and they were cute but I definitely don't want to use the first website I find!

    My bridesmaids got their dresses at David's bridal. Mother of the groom and bride also got theirs at David's.

    My BMs got theirs from Azazie. We are also doing navy floor length. We chose the Azazie Eden in Dark Navy.

    ETA: Most BM dresses on Azazie are $109-129.

    Hi @annuhlee!

    I originally had the same idea as you, BM in floor-length navy dresses and GM in navy tuxes. I posted a similar thread and someone helpfully pointed out to me that that's a lot of navy! We decided to revise our plan and have the GM in grey suits, keep the groom and BM in navy. It actually looks great from examples I've seen online.

    Unfortunately I didn't save any of the pictures that helped me decide the look I wanted... but when the whole bridal party is wearing the same color, especially such a dark color, it looked weird. Just a thought.

    Also, it might be hard to get the exact same shade of navy for the dresses and tuxes.

    Now to answer your actual question!

    Azazie has some nice shades that are close to navy blue, and Davids Bridal midnight color is the closest they have right now. You could always try dress shops that are less "bridal," too. We're going with Union Station skipper dresses for our wedding.

    Wherever you decide I strongly suggest getting all the dresses from the same place. There are different shades of navy and ordering from one place can alleviate that!

    Chiming in to second what FutureMrsBobby said. Navy seems like such a standard color but it really isn't... There are so many shades of navy.

    I would get some swatches from different companies and go check those against the color of the suit and whichever matches get the dress from there

    @Carousel that helped SO much - no longer doing all navy tuxes, just for my FH! A gray might look nice, but my dress is lace with a beige color underneath that shows through. I'm wondering if all those colors together wouldn't be too much.

    Mine went to David's. I wanted them to use the same store, but they're all in different locations so I figured that would be easiest. And I didn't want to do online, I wanted them to go to an actual shop to try on dresses.

    I wore the red version of this dress in the last wedding I was in, and it was my all time favorite bridesmaids dress (I've been in 4 other weddings). Comfortable, good quality, we could wear it however we felt confident, and it was so inexpensive.

    I gave my girls this option, but they all decided on Azazie dresses - also affordable, great quality, and you can get it custom sized to save your girls on alterations costs. Like someone else said, they're typically less than $150.

    We are going to DB so that the navy matches the tuxes which are from Men's Wearhouse.

    I'm having them rent at either vow to be chic or rent the runway. No one needs another bridesmaid dress in their closet that they'll never wear again. Other users listed some good buying options if you prefer that instead!
